REPLACEMENT OF TIRES
•If you make a warranty claim in
accordance with this Limited Warranty,
and the Tire
*is within the first 25% of
original, usable tread, or the warranty
claim is made 12 months from the
date of your purchase of the new
Vehicle (whichever comes first), the
Tire will be promptly replaced with a
comparable tire, without charge to
you (Free Replacement).
*If your warranty claim is with respect
to a temporary spare tire, the tire
must be within the first 1/32”
(0.8 mm) of tread depth, and the
warranty claim does not have to be
made within 12 months from the date
of purchase.
• During the Free Replacement period, mounting and balancing are free of
charge.
• After the Free Replacement period and Vehicle Manufacturer’s warranty
period, the credit of the Tire will be
calculated on a prorated basis.
• Remaining usable tread is computed as a percentage of the original, usable
tread. The credit amount will be
calculated by multiplying the Tire’s
market retail price at the time of the
warranty claim by the remaining
usable tread.
• Original, usable tread does not include the last 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
tread depth.
•
You are responsible for payment of
labor costs of mounting and balancing
and applicable taxes, charges for
services that you request but that are
not covered by this Limited Warranty,
and any shipping expenses after the
Free Replacement period.
• A “comparable tire” may either be a new Maxxis brand tire of the same line
as the Tire, or if the Tire is out of
production or unavailable, a new
Maxxis brand tire of the same basic
construction and quality, with different
sidewall or treadwear configuration. If
the same tire or a comparable new
Maxxis tire is available, and you
request a higher-priced tire as a
replacement, the difference in price
will be paid by you.
WARRANTY CLAIM
PROCEDURE
• You must present the Tire to a VehicleManufacturer Dealer or a Maxxis
Dealer.
• You must present proof of the date of your purchase of the Vehicle (car
dealer invoice). If you do not present
this proof, the warranty claim will be
considered only if the Tire is within five
years of its date of manufacture.
• You must present the Tire that is the subject of the warranty claim and all
service and maintenance records
required by this Limited Warranty.
• If there is no Maxxis Dealer or Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer near you, call the
Maxxis Technology Center at
1-866-509-7067.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Improper tire mounting and inflation
and overloading may cause serious
injury or property damage. Maxxis
recommends that you read and follow
all safety information contained in
the tire safety inf ormation section of
this booklet, vehicle placard in the
Vehicle and/or the Vehicle Owner’s
Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found
on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following:
• Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an accurate tire air
pressure gauge. Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot. Proper
inflation is essential. Under inflation
produces flexing of the sidewalls and
builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over
inflation can cause the tire to be more
susceptible to impact damage.
• Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are
molded into the sidewall of your tire.
Overloading builds up excessive heat
and can lead to early tire failure.
• Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and curbs)
which may cause internal tire
damage. Continued use of a tire that
has suffered internal damage, which
may not be visible externally, can lead
to dangerous tire failure.
Determination of internal damage will
require dismounting of the tire and
examination by trained tire personnel. • Improper tire mounting and inflation
procedures may cause the tire beads
to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim. Tire
and rim must match in size. Rim parts
must match by manufacturer’s design.
Clean rim. Lubricate rim and beads.
Do not exceed the maximum
recommended pressure to seat the
beads. Only trained tire personnel
should mount tires.
• Use of worn-out tires (less than 2/32” [1.6 mm] of tread depth) increases the
probability of tire failure.
• Excessive speeds create heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire failure.
• Maxxis strongly recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
(8,000 to 12,000 kilometers).
• The Maxxis brand temporary spare tire weighs less than a conventional radial
tire. The temporary tire should be used
only in emergencies and returned to
the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or
replaced.

Any time you see damage to your Tires or
wheels, immediately contact a Vehicle
Manufacturer Dealer or Maxxis Dealer.

the terms and conditions of this
warranty, please read it carefully. It is
essential that you also read and
understand the safety and maintenance
recommendations for tires contained in
this booklet.
WHAT’S COVERED AND FOR
HOW LONG?
Workmanship and Materials
Michelin passenger and light truck tires,
used in normal service on the vehicle on
which they were originally fitted and in
accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings
contained in this warranty guide and your
vehicle’s owner guide, are covered by this
limited warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials for the life of
the original usable tread, or six years

first. At that time, all warranties, express
or implied, expire. Replacement will be
made in accordance with the terms and
conditions described under “How
Replacement Charges are Calculated”.

due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag,bruise, impact damage, or puncture).
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper
repair.
• Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation, over-inflation or
other abuse.

vehicle such as wheel misalignment,
(a measured tread difference of 2/32”
[1.6 mm] or more across the tread on
the same tire).
• Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism.
• Use in commercial applications for treadwear; by this warranty for six

HOW REPLACEMENT
CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck
Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due
to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited
warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin tire, free of
charge, when 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less of
the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to the user)
and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of the
tire is included.You pay the cost of any
other service charges and applicable
taxes.
When more than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
original tread has been worn (or more
than 25%, whichever is more beneficial
to the user) or after 12 months from date
of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
comparable new Michelin passenger or
light truck replacement tire on a prorated
basis. The retailer will determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn, by the
current selling price at the adjustment
location or the price in the current
Michelin Base Price List, whichever is
lower.
