repair. Any tire repair done without removing the tire from the rim is improper. An
improperly repaired tire will cause further damage to the tire by either leaking air or
allowing air, moisture and contaminants to enter the structure of the tire. An improperly
repaired tire can fail suddenly at a later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32nds of an inch tread remaining. At this tread depth,
th

e tire is worn out and must be replaced.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer surfaces from ozone and
weather checking. As the tire rolls and flexes, the waxes and emollients continually
migrate to the surface, replenishing this protection throughout the normal use of the tire.
Consequently, when tires sit outdoors, unused for long periods of time (a month or more)
their surfaces become dry and more susceptible to ozone and weather checking and the
casing becomes susceptible to flat spotting. For this reason, tires should always be
stored in a cool, dry, clean, indoor environment. If storage is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the tires by raising the vehicle or by removing the tires from
the vehicle. Failure to store tires in accordance with these instructions could result in
damage to your tires or premature aging of the tires and sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure they are placed away from sources of heat and ozone such
a s

hot pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are
clean and free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the
rubber. Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving could be subject to
sudden failure.
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by professionally trained persons
using proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). PAX® System tires must be mounted and dismounted only by
specially trained, authorized PAX® System retailers, utilizing PAX® System authorized
equipment.
Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are in good,
cle
an condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or corroded (alloy
wheels) may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material.
Have your retailer check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and
rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in
dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim, scrap it. It may have been damaged internally (which is
not externally visible) by having been dangerously stretched and could fail on the
highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new valves of the
c o

rrect type installed. Tubeless tires must only be mounted on wheels designed for
tubeless tires i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges. As with any other tire air
valve, the PAX® System valve stem-pressure sensor combination must be in good

MICHELIN®
135
condition to assure its performance. Always utilize valve caps capable of containing the
tire’s air pressure, should the valve core leak. The valve cap is the primary seal against
air loss.
It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels balanced. Tires and wheels which
a r

e not balanced may cause steering difficulties, a bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAX® SYSTEM TIRES
PAX® System wheels are different from all other wheels. Never attempt to mount a
non-PAX® System tire on a PAX® System wheel, or a PAX® System tire on a non-PAX®
System wheel. Attempting to do so could cause serious injury or death. All PAX® System
components (tire, wheel, support ring, pressure sensor and gel) must be utilized. Never
utilize a PAX® System tire and wheel without every other properly functioning component
part, correctly installed by an Authorized PAX® System retailer. The PAX® System must
be used on all wheel positions.
After a low or zero pressure driving event, the PAX® System tire and wheel may be hot to
th

e touch. Always allow a PAX® System tire to cool before attempting to handle it. Failure
to do so could result in injury.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE™ (ZP)
T I

RES
ZP tires can be more difficult to mount than conventional tires. They should be mounted
a n

d demounted only by a properly trained tire professional. ZP tires can generate a
tremendous amount of heat when run at low or zero pressure. ALWAYS ALLOW A ZP TIRE
TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE IT. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN
INJURY.
MICHELIN® ZP tires are tubeless tires designed to operate in emergency conditions at
lo
w or zero air pressure.
MICHELIN® SELF SUPPORTING Zero Pressure™ (ZP) TIRES AND SPECIAL SYMMETRIC
H U

MP-MODIFIED (SH-M) WHEELS
Some MICHELIN® ZP tires can only perform with zero pressure capability when mounted
o n

special SH-M wheels. These tires bear the SH-M designation immediately following
the ZP designation on the sidewall of the tire. DO NOT MOUNT ZP TIRES WITH THE SH-M
DESIGNATION ON STANDARD WHEELS. IN SUCH APPLICATIONS, THE TIRES MAY
BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHELIN® TRX™ TIRES
The MICHELIN® TRX™ tire is a tubeless tire that must only be mounted on special wheels
( T

R or JM type) with millimetric seat diameter. If TRX tires are mounted on standard
wheels, they will not retain air due to an air escape feature designed into the bead area
of these tires.
Do not try to override this feature by mounting TRX tires with tubes. The MICHELIN®
T R

X™ tire must be used on all wheel positions.

TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
in

structions.
READING THE DOT
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000)
THE DOT
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer’s compliance with US Department of
Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is the tire identification or “serial
number”. The first two characters identify the plant where the tire was manufactured.
The next two characters reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may be used
at the tire manufacturer’s option as a descriptive code. The last three characters are
numbers identifying the week and year of manufacture. (Example: “O25” means second
week of the year of decade, eg.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the 1990-1999 decade
MICHELIN® brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to the last three numeric
characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an additional digit to identify a given
decade. For example, 2800 means the tire was produced during the 28th week of 2000;
0 2

01 during the 2nd week of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number contains three
numeric characters and is not marked with a triangle, consult a qualified tire technician
to determine the year of manufacture.
SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING SPARE
TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck tires. Tires are
composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, having performance
properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component
properties evolve over time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors
such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its life. This
service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately predicting the serviceable life
of any specific tire in advance is not possible.
That is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance by
c o

nsumers, it is recommended to have passenger car and light truck tires, including
spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who
will assess the tire’s suitability for continued service. Tires which have been in use for five
years or more should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually.
Consumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual condition
and inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic performance such as increased
air loss, noise or vibration, which could be an indication that the tires need to be removed
from service to prevent tire failure. It is impossible to predict when tires should be

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To reduce the risk of tire
failure we recommend the following:
• M aintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at underinflation or overinflation.
P
ressure should be set at the level recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
• W heel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•
Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on the sidewall of the
t
ire.
• D o not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs, potholes, obstacles
a
nd edges of pavement.
• N ever drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced when 2/32 of an
i
nch of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear indicator molded in the tread
grooves.
• C heck your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects, separations or
b
ulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount a tire yourself. Change
damaged tire with the spare and contact a local authorized Nexen Tire dealer imme -
diately.
• D o not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum speed justified
b
y driving conditions.
• T o achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rotation at regular
i
ntervals is required.

identified with a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on the sidewalls and must
meet specific snow performance test requirements. Pirelli Winter tires do not carry a
mileage warranty.
The information provided above is an overview of tire types. Tread patterns and rubber
c o

mpounds vary among the seasonal tire types and provide varying performance
characteristics and limitations based on your individual needs and vehicle specifications.
Summer performance tires are different than winter and all season types. To determine
which Pirelli lines carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty, please refer to The PTI Treadwear
Mileage Warranty Conditions and Mileage Warranty sections found in this document.
3. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your vehicle can be found either on your
vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual. Correct pressures are related to
load, speed and vehicle handling and are vital for even braking, maximum traction and
good tire life. Under no circumstances should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less
than that indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual or
higher than the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on to the tire’s sidewall.
Underinflation causes excessive flexing, deterioration of the tire and rapid wear of the
tread edges. Overinflation results in an uncomfortable ride, a reduced area of tire contact
with the road surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher susceptibility to impact damage
and rapid wear on the tread center.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a month and should be checked only
w h

en the tire is cold or before it has been driven. Driving even a short distance
(1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to heat up and the air pressure to increase
a p

proximately 4 psi. In case it is necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have
been driven, the air pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than
the recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
WARNING!


Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. These situations can
cause a tire failure, including tread/belt separation, even at a later date, which could
lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 PSI
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure: 26 PSI
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 PSI + 4 PSI = 30 PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSI

and replaced if necessary. Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves,
which show up when the tread has worn to 2/32 of an inch remaining. At this point, your
tires must be replaced because they are illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but rather exposure
to

outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but are not limited to: road hazards,
punctures, improper repairs, misalignment, underinflated operation, overinflated
operation, excessive heat caused by over deflected operation, excessive exposure to
ozone, improper storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only have an impact on a
few of these exposures. Tire companies add antiozinants and anti-oxidants
(anti-degradation compounds) to minimize degradation. Pirelli believes that since there
is no way to accurately predict what outside forces a tire will be exposed to there is no
scientifically supportable age limit that can be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls and rinse off with
l o

w-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or dressings to enhance sidewall
appearance to avoid removal of antioxidants, which are intended to prevent ozone
degradation. The removal of anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to
sidewall cracking. Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
10. Tire Rotation
Pirelli recommends that you follow the tire rotation procedure as defined in your vehicle
owner’s manual. If there is no procedure, PTI recommends tire rotation every 8,000 to
11,000 kilometers to optimize your tire wear.
11. Tire Repair
Punctures, nail holes or cuts located in the tread area of Pirelli radial tires may be
repaired if the diameter does not exceed six mm. The repair material used must seal the
inner liner and fill the injury to be considered a permanent repair. Tire and Rubber
Association of Canada and industry approved repair methods include a combination of
plug and patch; chemical or hot vulcanizing patches, and head type plugs, all applied
from inside the tire. A self-vulcanizing plug repair may be used only in conjunction with a
patch repair, but not by itself. Plugs may cause further damage to the tire, they are not
always airtight and the plug may fail. If a tire puncture exceeds six mm or is located in
the shoulder or sidewall deflection areas, the tire must be replaced. Never resort to tubes
(in tubeless tires) or sleeves or large thick patches, which can upset the balance and may
result in a sudden failure at highway speeds and high operating temperatures.
WARNING!


Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly fail, which can lead
to an accident and serious personal injury or death.

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.
