MICHELIN® PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK REPLACEMENT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it carefully.

the tire, and the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes, including PAX Gel/Gel 3 packs. Treadwear If a tire is covered and wears out evenly across the face of the tread before delivering the warranted mileage, Michelin will replace the tire with a comparable new MICHELIN® replacement tire on a pro rata basis. This means that you will be responsible for paying a portion of the cost.
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. Tires presented for claim remain the property of the consumer, and we are not responsible for loss of or damage to tires which are in the custody or control of a Michelin tire retailer for the purpose of inspection for warranty claims.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS THE IMPORTANCE OF TIRES The tire is the only contact between your vehicle and the ground. In order to ensure greater safety and to achieve longer tire life, it is essential to adhere to certain principles. Tires are of the utmost importance and the cost of regular maintenance is more than justified.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire information placard that came on your vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch or on the glove compartment door), for the recommended operating pressures.
Pressure (ZP) tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for complete details on the low tire pressure warning system designed to alert you in the event of a low pressure condition. NOTE: MICHELIN® SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURETM (ZP) TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPERATIONAL, MICHELIN APPROVED, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty are void.
and thoroughly inspected for possible internal damage. If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure is more than 18 PSI, reinflate your tire to the proper air pressure. (See instructions for checking pressures when tires are hot.) When tires have cooled, check air pressure again.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once and visit a Michelin Tire Retailer. 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 destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires experience a sudden air loss can lead to an accident.

INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL HAZARDS Objects in the road, such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris and the like, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. Unavoidable contact with such objects should prompt a thorough tire inspection. Anytime you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace with the spare at once and immediately visit your Michelin tire retailer. For PAX SystemTM Tires see an authorized PAX System tire retailer.
Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your vehicle. TRAILER TOWING If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your Michelin tire retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures.
WINTER DRIVING Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) definition of snow tires are marked M/S, M+S, or M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recommended for winter driving. While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in some winter conditions, the use of four (4) winter tires is recommended for optimal performance.
as automobiles. Because of these different characteristics, failure to operate your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type, wheels or suspension can change your vehicle’s handling characteristics and further increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover.
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.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELFSUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE™ (ZP) TIRES ZP tires can be more difficult to mount than conventional tires. They should be mounted and demounted only by a properly trained tire professional. ZP tires can generate a tremendous amount of heat when run at low or zero pressure. ALWAYS ALLOW A ZP TIRE TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE IT. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
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; 0201 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.
• AVOID DRIVING OVER POTHOLES, OBSTACLES, CURBS OR EDGES OF PAVEMENT. • AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING. • IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO A TIRE, REPLACE WITH THE SPARE AND VISIT A QUALIFIED TIRE TECHNICIAN AT ONCE. • IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR MICHELIN TIRE RETAILER. FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAN LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
