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.

 (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. For a list of approved systems, 
see your Michelin tire retailer, or call 1-800-847-3435. NOTE: Some 
MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) 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. NOTE: PAX SYSTEM TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN 
CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPERATIONAL, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING 
SYSTEM (TPMS), APPROVED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER FOR USE 
WITH THE PAX SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty 
are void. For a list of approved systems, see your authorized PAX System 
retailer, or call 1-877-PAX TIRE or 1-877-729-8473. For all types of tires, 
consult your vehicle owner’s manual or the tire information placard that 
came on your vehicle for recommended operating pressures. If the tires are 
purchased as replacement tires, operating instructions for the low pressure 
warning system will be provided by the manufacturer of that system. 
Recommended operating pressures will be provided by a Michelin tire 
retailer for self supporting ZP tires. Recommended operating pressure for 
PAX System Tires will be provided by a PAX System retailer. These inflation 
pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do not exceed the 
maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.

 TIRES/SELF-SUPPORTING  
ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES CHECK INFLATION 
PRESSURES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING A 
LOW PRESSURE WARNING
The PAX System
TM
 requires a functioning, correctly calibrated 
onboard vehicle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to monitor 
the air pressure and alert the driver when a low pressure event 
occurs. Be certain to ensure that your vehicle’s Tire Pressure 
Monitoring System (TPMS) is functioning and is correctly calibrated. 
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or your vehicle dealer. Low 
pressure warning systems are designed to alert the driver to a low air 
pressure situation in at least one tire on the vehicle. While your ZP tires 
are designed to provide continued mobility in the event of an air loss, the 
sooner you respond to a warning and take corrective action, the greater the 
likelihood that the tire can be returned to service. Always visually inspect 
your MICHELIN PAX System tire and Self-Supporting tires and use 
a pressure gauge to check the air pressure in all 4 tires following 
any low pressure warning (unless advised to do otherwise by the 
manufacturer of your low pressure warning system.) If the tire 
pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the nearest Authorized 
PAX System Retailer for PAX

 tires or a Michelin tire retailer for ZP 
tires (or a representative of your vehicle manufacturer if advised to 
do so in your vehicle owner’s manual) and have the tire demounted
