Owner`s manual

Some vehicles may have different sized tires mounted on the front and
rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation restrictions. Always
check the vehicle owner’s manual for the proper rotation
recommendations.
FULL-SIZE SPARE
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size and
construction should be used in a five (5) tire rotation. Always check the
inflation pressure of the full-size spare immediately before incorporating it
into rotation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pattern for
rotation, or if not available, see a qualified tire technician.
REPLACEMENT OF TWO (2) TIRES
It is recommended that all four (4) tires are replaced at the same time.
However, when only two tires are replaced, the new ones should be put
on the rear. The new tires, with deeper tread, may provide better grip and
water evacuation in wet driving conditions.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES, WHEELS, OR
SUSPENSION ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
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. Modifications to your SUV/truck tire size, tire type, wheels
or suspension can change its handling characteristics and further increase
the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has the original
equipment configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any
of these items have been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws. Failure to do so may result
in loss of vehicle control leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage which can result
in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to alterations such
as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, or the
use of tire dressing containing petroleum distillates are excluded from
warranty coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR
MICHELIN
®
TIRE RETAILER AT ONCE
If any Michelin
®
tire sustains a puncture, have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by any Michelin
®
tire retailer for possible damage
that may have occurred.
A tread area puncture in any Michelin
®
passenger or light truck tire can be
repaired provided that the puncture hole is not more than 1/4” in
diameter, and the tire has not been damaged further by the puncturing
