Even a MICHELIN® PAX® System Tire or Self-Supporting Zero
Pressure (ZP) tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated
for an extended period of time. The length of time and distance a
PAX® System Tire/Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tire will
perform at low or zero air pressure will depend upon the severity of
the event causing air loss, ambient temperature, speed at which the
tire is operated, and the conditions under which the tire is operated
(i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will greatly
reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air
pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden
tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or
cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the tire immediately and
replace with the temporary spare. If Michelin® PAX® System Tire/
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as original
equipment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for complete details
on the low tire pressure warning system designed to alert you in the
event of a low pressure condition.
