PAX® SYSTEM TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY ABOUT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ambient temperature, the weight of the vehicle and the operating speed of the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss incident, the greater the likelihood that the tire can be re-inflated (or repaired, if punctured) and returned to service.
PAX® SYSTEM TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of manufacture. REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED. This PAX System Assurance Plan is not a warranty or protection against all road hazard injuries. It is an added value to the consumer that provides for replacement of tires that come out of service as the result of conditions not covered by the limited warranty.
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED MICHELIN PAX® SYSTEM TIRES AND SUPPORT RINGS WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO WHEN MAKING A CLAIM If a Michelin PAX System tire becomes unserviceable due to a workmanship or materials condition or a road hazard injury during the first 24 months of service or before 50% of the tread is worn, whichever occurs first, Michelin will furnish a comparable new Michelin PAX System replacement tire at NO CHARGE.
SAFETY WARNING DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS the tire is operated, the load and the conditions under which the tire is operated (i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will greatly reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or cause difficulty in vehicle handling, stop driving inmediately.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH Check cold pressure as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. “Bleeding” air from hot tires could result in underinflation. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to inflate or deflate tires.
If the tire pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the nearest Authorized PAX System retailer (or a representative of your vehicle manufacturer if advised to do so in your vehicle owner’s manual) and have the tire demounted and thoroughly inspected for possible internal damage. traction to spin beyond its speed capability. This is also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
SPEED RATINGS Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some Michelin tires. The following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol. *Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating PAX tire retailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
INSPECT YOUR TIRES, DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle.
DO NOT OVERLOAD DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS 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 PAX System tire, and inflated to the proper air pressure, before the trailer can be safely towed again. The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do not exceed this rating.
TIRE MIXING TIRE ROTATION PAX System 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. To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR PAX SYSTEM TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE Due to their size, weight and higher center of gravity, vehicles such as SUVs and light trucks do not have the same handling characteristics as automobiles. Because of these differing characteristics, failure to operate your SUV/truck in a proper and safe manner can increase the likelihood of vehicle rollover.
For this reason, tires 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. hot to the touch. Always allow a PAX System tire to cool before attempting to handle it.
PAX® System tires can be more difficult to mount than conventional tires. They should be mounted and demounted only by a properly trained tire professional. PAX tires can generate a tremendous amount of heat when run at low or zero pressure. ALWAYS ALLOW A PAX SYSTEM TIRE TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE IT. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
Warning: For safety and good performance, you must take care of your tires. Follow the safety information and instructions contained in this owner’s manual.
