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

• C omplete and sign the Nexen Tire Claim Adjustment form provided by the dealer, keep
a
copy for your records and leave the tire with the dealer for warranty processing.

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.

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.
Visit www.ca.pirelli.com for more information.
What Is Not Covered By The Warranty?
• Tires on any vehicle registered and normally operated outside the United States of
America or Canada.
• T ires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally installed.

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

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

PIRELLI TIRES
158
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.

8. Tire Replacement
The tires fitted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and approved by the
vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and take into account all aspects of the
vehicle’s operation. Changes in the tire size, type or construction should not be made
without seeking advice from the vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli
dealer since unapproved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect steering, handling,
braking and traction. The tire information (tire size, load index and speed symbol) as
found on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual should always be followed when
replacing tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four with the same
t r

ead type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire brands. It is necessary to follow
this procedure because different tire constructions have different handling
characteristics. Tires on the same axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size,
load index, speed rating and Pirelli part number.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted (four tires of the
sa
me tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This applies to all vehicles regardless of
their drive axle. (Front or Rear Drive).
On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always be replaced in sets
o f

four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow the vehicle
m a

nufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and light truck tires are not
interchangeable, due to differences in their pressures and load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example: 225/45R17) tires
h a

ve a load index which is equal to or greater than that of the same size P-metric
(Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore, they have the same or higher load carrying
capacity at the maximum rated inflation pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or
Pirelli Tire Consumer Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to maintain proper
vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before fitting the suggested tires, the fitment is
a l

lowed by the technical specifications of the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the
relevant homologations. Pirelli Tire does not express any view as to the compatibility of
the wheel/tire combination with the technical specifications for the chassis and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY,
R E

PLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL
TO OR GREATER THAN THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer regarding any
s u

spension or braking system modifications which may be recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air pressure
checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should also be examined if you
strike any unusual object on the road. Tires showing bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations
or uneven wear must be dismounted and examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer
