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 as 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 mounting can be dangerous and must be done by professionally
trained persons using proper tools and procedures as specified
by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). MICHELIN

tires must be mounted and dismounted only by specially
trained, authorized MICHELIN PAX System retailers, utilizing
equipment designed for the MICHELIN PAX System.
Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which
are in good, clean 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 tire 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 correct 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 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. Each tire
and wheel assembly should be balanced to insure proper tire and vehicle
performance and to maintain tire warranty coverage. Tires and wheel
assemblies which are not balanced may cause steering difficulties, a bumpy
ride, and irregular tire wear.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHELIN

TIRES
MICHELIN PAX System
TM
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 the touch. Always
allow a PAX System tire to cool before attempting to handle it. Failure to
do so could result in injury.
