Scorpion Verde All Season Mileage Warranty
• A ll Scorpion Verde All Season tires produced in the year 2013 will be eligible for
8
0,000 kilometers limited treadwear warranty for H and V rated, and 105,000 kilome -
ters limited treadwear for T rated.
• A ll Scorpion Verde All Season tires produced after the year 2013 are not eligible for
m
ileage warranty coverage.
Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows limited low-inflation
operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure. Pirelli does not recommend the repair
of run flat tires and as a result, Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli
produced tires that are manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat
Road Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting the road
hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or
ro
ad hazard injury during the initial warranty period, which is one year from the date of
original retail purchase of the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt
required) or within the first 2/32of an inch of the original usable tread, whichever occurs
first, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire
to the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road hazard injury, the owner must pay
the cost of a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a
pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The
owner must pay for any associated service charges, including costs associated with
mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does
not warranty that a Pirelli tire will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any
person, including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction designed to stop
the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an object. Providing the puncture does not
compromise the structural integrity of the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible
air leakage in the event of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside” technology is not designed or intended to be a permanent repair, and
i s
only meant to allow the consumer to go to a Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine
if repair or replacement is needed.

i

load version. (Also could be called REINFORCED).
2. Tire Categories
ALL SEASON TIRES (ALL WEATHER TIRES): Tires that are designed to perform in a variety
of road conditions in all seasons of the year. An all season tire will carry “M+S”, “M&S”,
or “M/S” designation on the sidewall. All Season tires may carry a Limited Treadwear
Warranty depending on line.
SUMMER TIRES (MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, HIGH PERFORMANCE, ULTRA HIGH
P E
RFORMANCE): Summer Performance tires offer superior handling, grip and cornering
ability compared to standard tires. They are rated for operation at higher speeds.
Maximum Performance, High Performance and Ultra High Performance categories each
have different performance characteristics, UTQG ratings and rate of wear depending on
line. Some lines may carry a limited treadwear warranty.
WINTER TIRES (SNOW TIRES): A winter tire is a tire with a tread design and compound
m a
de specifically for snowy and icy conditions and is identified by M&S, M+S or M/S
markings on the sidewalls. Tires designed for use in severe snow conditions are further Q

Check the cold inflation pressure on the tires, at least by the next day. Never reduce or
“bleed” pressure from hot tires since your tires will then be underinflated when they cool
down. Always use a reliable pressure gauge.
4. Ultra High Performance (UHP) Summer Tires
Rubber compounds formulated for ultra high performance summer tires can lose
flexibility and may develop random surface cracks at cold temperatures. Therefore extra
care should be used in handling tires in this condition. These compounds are optimized
for maximum dry and wet performance in warm conditions. Special tread compounds in
these tires will have decreased performance, such as lateral and braking traction, at
temperatures below 7° C or when driving on snow or ice. Therefore, it is recommended
to install winter tires in these conditions.
5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction and compounds to
achieve their distinctive performance in dry conditions. As a result of that, their
performance in cold temperatures, heavy rain or standing water will be decreased. Use
extreme caution and drive slowly on wet roads.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road tires, resulting in
re
duced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions. However, for winter
use, you may wish to install winter tires. During winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends
the fitment of four winter tires. Please check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning
winter tire size recommendation. If the winter tires have a lower speed rating than the
original equipment tires, vehicle handling may be affected, and the vehicle maximum
speed must be reduced to the winter tire speed rating.
Pirelli requires
that studded tires be installed on all four positions. Installing studded
tires only on the drive positions of any vehicle, including a front wheel drive vehicle, may
cause adverse handling characteristics.
7. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specific safety and operating
information relating to the vehicle. Damaged Run Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have
experienced a loss of pressure should immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire
of identical size and Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specifications of the vehicles on which
t h
ey are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires should only be mounted on vehicles
specifically manufactured to accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire Pressure Monitoring
S y
stem (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the TPMS should be carried out by a specialized
d e
aler.
PIRELLI TIRES

PIRELLI TIRE DOES NOT ENDORSE:
• T he use of tire sealants in Pirelli tires to repair, even temporarily, a puncture
•
The repairing of V, W, Y or Z Speed Rated tires
•
The repairing of Run Flat tires
12. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the case of winter tires),
they should be stored in a cool, dry place. To protect your tires from damage related to:
heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight, it is suggested you place them in opaque,
waterproof containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
13. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked “Tubeless”. This
includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s pressure retention ability has been
affected, so as to necessitate a tube being installed, the tire must be replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of the correct type must
be installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify that all your valves have proper
valve caps. Replace as necessary, since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure
loss.
15. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and equipment to
perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should be mounted or demounted, using
Tire and Rubber Association of Canada procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’
recommendations. Your wheels should be in good, clean condition. Wheels should be
inspected for distortion, dents, cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be replaced as
necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING BEADS.
16. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by your vehicle manufacturer and your
vehicle must be kept within these tolerances. You should have your alignment checked
annually or whenever you notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel assemblies
should be balanced each time a tire is fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and
balancing are important for safety and maximum performance and mileage from your
tires.
