WHAT CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY? This warranty does not provide compensation for loss of time, loss of use of vehicle, inconvenience or consequential damage. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty limits the length of all express and implied claims. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you.
or on behalf of other persons that may be similarly situated. You agree that you do not have the right to act as a private attorney general, a class representative, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants with any claim subject to arbitration. You further agree that no claim subject to arbitration shall be heard by a jury and that any judgment or award of the Arbitral Body will be final and not subject to judicial review. All arbitrations will be conducted as document hearings.
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, or feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happens, DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURE IN ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control, and an accident. Therefore, inflation pressures should be checked at least once each month and before every long-distance trip.
tires can only be mounted on special SH-M (Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear the special SH-M designation, molded into the sidewall of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT A TIRE 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 UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS): Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the spare. You should manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure gauge.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown on the following page for each type of MICHELIN® tire will cause the tire to build up excessive heat, which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire failure and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires experience a rapid air loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.

INSPECT YOUR TIRES AND DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL WARNING INSPECT AND REPLACE ANY VISIBLY DAMAGED TIRE IMMEDIATELY AFTER STRIKING ANY OBJECT IN THE ROAD. Road hazards and objects in the road, such as potholes, curbs, glass, metal, rocks, wood, and debris, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. If your vehicle hits any such hazard or object, however, you should promptly inspect your tires.
TREAD WEAR BARS INDICATE THE LIMIT OF TREAD LIFE MICHELIN® tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the tire tread grooves at 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm). When the tread remaining matches the height of the Wear Bars, your tires must be replaced to ensure tire safety. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous. For more information on checking tread depth, visit Safe Driving at michelinman.com and read the illustrated how-to information on tire inspection. LOADING WARNING DO NOT DRIVE ON OVERLOADED TIRES.
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. Read and follow the instructions on tire rotation and replacement below.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper rotation direction. Some Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may not recognize that a tire has been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make certain that your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly identify the location of each tire on your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or your vehicle dealer for this information.
TIRE ALTERATIONS WARNING DO NOT DRIVE ON ALTERED TIRES. Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires. Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage that can result in an accident. Tires that become unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, or the use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates, are excluded from warranty coverage.
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 as hot pipes and electric generators.

After a low or zero pressure driving event, the PAX System tire and wheel may be hot to the touch. Always allow a PAX System tire to cool before attempting to handle it. Failure to do so could result in injury.
TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
