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.

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.
