C
Check the cold ination pressure on the tires, at least by the next day.
Never reduce or “bleed” pressure from hot tires since your tires will then
be underinated when they cool down. Always use a reliable pressure
gauge.
3. UHP Summer Tires
Rubber compounds formulated for ultra-high performance summer
tires can lose exibility and may develop random surface cracks at
temperatures below 45° F. Therefore extra care should be used in
handling tires below this temperature. These compounds are optimized
for maximum dry and wet performance in warm conditions. Special tread
compounds in these tires will have decreased performance, such as
lateral and braking traction, at temperatures below 45° F or when driving
on snow or ice. Therefore, it is recommended to install winter tires in
these conditions.
4. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
PZero Trofeo and PZero Corsa tire lines use special tire construc-
tion and compounds to achieve their distinctive performance in dry
conditions. As a result of that, their performance in cold temperatures,
heavy rain or standing water will be decreased. Use extreme caution and
drive slowly on wet roads.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road tires,
resulting in reduced tread life.
5. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions.
However, for winter use, you may wish to install winter tires. During
winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends the tment of 4 winter tires.
Please check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning winter tire size
recommendation. If the winter tires have a lower speed rating than the
original equipment tires, vehicle handling may be affected, and the
vehicle maximum speed must be reduced to the winter tire speed
rating.
Pirelli requires that studded tires be installed on all four positions.
Installing studded tires only on the front positions of any vehicle,
including a front wheel drive vehicle, may cause adverse handling
characteristics.
6. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specic
safety and operating information relating to the vehicle. Damaged Run
Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure should
immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire of identical size and
Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specications
of the vehicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat
tires may only be mounted on vehicles specically manufactured to
accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) should be carried out by a specialized dealer.
7. Tire Replacement
The tires tted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and
approved by the vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and
take into account all aspects of the vehicle’s operation. Changes in
the tire size, type or construction should not be made without seeking
advice from the vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli dealer
since unapproved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect steering,
handling, braking and traction. The tire information (tire size, load index
and speed symbol) as found on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s
manual should always be followed when replacing tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four
with the same tread type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire
brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure because different tire
constructions have different handling characteristics. Tires on the same
axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size, load index, speed
rating and Pirelli part number.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously
tted (four tires of the same tire size), t the new tires on the rear axle.
This applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front or Rear
Drive).
On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always
be replaced in sets of four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow
the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and light truck
tires are not interchangeable, due to differences in their pressures and
load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example:
225/45R17) tires have a load index which is equal to or greater than
that of the same size P-metric (Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore,
they have the same or higher load carrying capacity at the maximum
rated ination pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or Pirelli Tire
Consumer Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to maintain
proper vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before tting the suggested
tires, the tment is allowed by the technical specications of the
vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the relevant homologations. Pirelli
Tire does not express any view as to the compatibility of the wheel/tire
combination with the technical specications for the chassis and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD
CARRYING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS
HAVE A LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR
GREATER THAN THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size tments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modications which may be
recommended for the vehicle.
8. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air
pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should
also be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road. Tires
showing bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must be
dismounted and examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and
replaced if necessary. Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread
grooves which show up when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining.
At this point, your tires must be replaced because they are illegal and
dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deterio-
rate, but rather exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can
include, but are not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs,
misalignment, under inated operation, over inated operation,
excessive heat caused by over deected operation, excessive exposure
to ozone, improper storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only
have an impact on a few of these exposures. Tire companies add anti-
ozinants and anti-oxidants (anti-degradation compounds) to mini-
mize degradation. Pirelli believes that since there is no way to accu-
rately predict what outside forces a tire will be exposed to there is no
scientically supportable age limit that can be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean
sidewalls and rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of anti-
oxidants which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The
removal of anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to sidewall
cracking. Use of high pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
WARNING: Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can
suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and serious personal
injury or death.
9. Tire Rotation
Pirelli recommends that you follow the tire rotation procedure as de-
ned in your vehicle owner’s manual. If there is no procedure, PTNA
recommends tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to optimize your
tire wear.
10. Tire Repair
Punctures, nail holes or cuts located in the tread area of Pirelli
radial tires may be repaired if the diameter does not exceed 1/4”. The
repair material used must seal the inner liner and ll the injury to be
considered a permanent repair. Rubber Manufacturers Association
and industry approved repair methods include a combination of plug
and patch; chemical or hot vulcanizing patches, and head type plugs,
all applied from inside the tire. A self-vulcanizing plug repair may be
used only in conjunction with a patch repair, but not by itself. Plugs
may cause further damage to the tire, they are not always airtight and
the plug may fail. If a tire puncture exceeds 1/4” or is located in the
shoulder or sidewall deection areas, the tire must be replaced. Never
resort to tubes (in tubeless tires) or sleeves or large thick patches which
can upset the balance and may result in a sudden failure at highway
speeds and high operating temperatures.
WARNING: Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous, as
the tire can suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and serious
personal injury or death.
PIRELLI TIRE DOES NOT ENDORSE:
1) The use of tire sealants in Pirelli tires to repair, even temporarily,
a puncture;
2) The repairing of V, W, Y or Z Speed Rated tires;
3) The repairing of Run Flat tires.
11. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the
case of winter tires), they should be stored in a cool, dry place. To
protect your tires from damage related to: heat, water, ozone and
direct sunlight, it is suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof
containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
12. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked
“Tubeless”. This includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s
pressure retention ability has been affected, so as to necessitate a
tube being installed, the tire must be replaced.
13. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of the
correct type must be installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify
that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as necessary, since
the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
14. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire tting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and
equipment to perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should
be mounted or demounted, or inated using Rubber Manufacturers
Association procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’
recommendations. Your wheels should be in good, clean condition.
Wheels should be inspected for distortion, dents, cracks, rust and
foreign matter, and be replaced as necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI
WHEN SEATING BEADS.
15. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specications are issued by your vehicle manufac-
turer and your vehicle must be kept within these tolerances. You should
have your alignment checked annually or whenever you notice any
irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel assemblies should be balanced
each time a tire is tted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and balancing
are important for safety and maximum performance and mileage from
your tires.
