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. Tire size and 
pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch utilized, 
but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire load rating 
be exceeded. Check 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, and the owner’s manual supplied by the manufacturer 
of your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer towing.

Operation of PAX

 or ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in 
tow, is dangerous and is not recommended. If the low pressure warning 
indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the trailer, 
and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been repaired and 
re-inflated to the proper air pressure. If the tire cannot be repaired, it must 
be replaced with a new full size, matching PAX or ZP tire, and inflated to 
the proper air pressure, before the trailer can be safely towed again.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE 
IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE 
FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE 
EACH MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire 
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive 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.
TIRE MIXING
MICHELIN
®
 tires are radial tires and for best performance it is 
recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel 
positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on 
any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer’s owner‘s manual 
for its recommendations. It is especially important to check the vehicle 
manufacturer’s owner’s manual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires 
on 4-wheel drive vehicles, as this may require special precautions.
