unserviceable due to a material or workmanship condition during its useable tread life
(more than 2/32 of an inch remaining tread) before six years from the date of
manufacture or purchase date supported with proof of purchase for every passenger and
light truck tire (whichever comes first), and before five years (six years for KLS02e,
KLD01e, and KLT02e patterns) from the date of manufacture or purchase date for

re with a comparable new Kumho or Marshal tire free of charge. Applicable taxes on
the new tire and costs of mounting and balancing and any other service charges are

at the time of adjustment Applicable taxes on the new tire and costs of mounting and
balancing service are payable by the owner.

Table or utilize the following example:
R.T.D.: Remaining Tread Depth
O.T.D.: Original Tread Depth

d ep
th) ÷ (10 - 2 : original useable tread depth)= 38%

MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
no
rmal service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with
the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the attached
owner’s manual, are covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and
materials for the life of the original usable tread, or six years from the date of purchase,
whichever occurs first. At that time, all warranties, express or implied, expire. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32 of an inch
(1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new vehicle
re
gistration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be
based on the date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions described under
“ H
ow Replacement Charges are Calculated”.
NOTE:
Your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional tire warranty coverage over and above
w h
at is provided by Michelin®. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for further informa -
tion.
NOTE:
Some Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires can only be mounted on special
S H
-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear the special SH-M designa -
tion, molded into the sidewall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A
T I
RE WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD WHEEL. DOING
SO VOIDS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSER -
VICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
D E
ATH.
Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for Michelin® Passenger and Light Truck Tires
Michelin® passenger and light truck tires are covered by a manufacturer’s limited
w a
rranty for treadwear. For the mileage warranty associated with a specific tire line,
please see your Michelin® tire retailer or visit us at https://www.michelinman.com/
home . Some vehicles come from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments” –
meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles. Because these tires cannot be
r o
tated as recommended by Michelin®, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover
half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire design.
Michelin® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires have the same mileage warranty as
the standard tire line of which they are a part, up to but not exceeding 30,000 miles.
D O
T-approved competition tires (e.g., Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup tires) are excluded
from any mileage warranty. Michelin® Winter tires must be used during winter months
only, defined as a period beginning on or after September 1st of a given year and ending
MICHELIN®
121
no later than April 30th of the following year. Michelin® winter tires require
documentation of the timing of the installation and removal of the tires each winter to
maintain coverage under the limited warranty for treadwear.
An important reminder:
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain number of miles from a given tire.
D r
iving habits, driving conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all play a
part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach the warranted mileage, and the
owner of the tires has complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty, Michelin®
will replace the tires as described under “How Replacement Charges are calculated”.
Temporary Spares
Michelin® temporary spare tires are covered by this warranty for six years from the date
o f
purchase or until the first 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread is worn off.
D a
te of purchase is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no
proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. At that
time, all warranties, express or implied, expire.

• R oad hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage or puncture)

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.
