MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY W A R R A N T Y Some tires have arrows on the sidewall showing the direction in which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction. If you do not have an owner's manual for your vehicle, Michelin recommends inspecting your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles and rotating tires at the first sign of uneven wear. This recommendation applies to both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Note: Tires that meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S, M+S or M&S. This designation is molded into the tire's sidewall. Tires without this designation are not recommended for mud or snow driving. Tire Alterations Do not alter your tires in any way. Alterations may prevent proper tire performance, which could lead to tire damage that results in an accident. Tires that become unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays and the addition of balancing or sealant liquids are not covered by this warranty. Repairs If one of your tires has sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected immediately by a Michelin retailer. Punctures that do not exceed 1/4 inch (6 mm) in diameter can be repaired if no more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged. For tires with a speed rating below H, punctures in the sidewall of 1/8 inch or less can also be repaired. Do not make sidewall repairs in any tire with a speed rating of H, V, W, Y or Z. Tire punctures consistent with these guidelines can be repaired by following the recommended repair procedures of Michelin or the Rubber Manufacturers Association. If tire damage exceeds these guidelines, the tire must be replaced. 75 Y o u r W a r r a n t i e s i n D e t a i l
