Recommendations
Update: 1 September 2021
In the event of use outside of normal conditions of use, consult Michelin Hill
Climb technical services.
Michelin guarantees the integrity of the tyre construction for a limited number of stints. The number of stints is determined according to the following criteria:
· Maximum load on the tyre (static + aerodynamic ) · Vehicle maximum speed · Rim type · Camber · Minimum hot pressure
One stint is equivalent to the mileage indicated (including a maximum of 2 pit
stops and/or driving without safety car). Therefore, depending on the
conditions of use, a tyre must be replaced in one of two cases:
· it has reached the indicated mileage even if the tread wear potential is not
reached. · it is completely worn out even if the indicated mileage has not
been reached.
These recommendations are valid unless the tyres have been damaged: for
example, punctures or flat spots. The recommendations regarding rain tyres are
only for wet conditions and not intended for a dry or drying race track. After
a run, Michelin recommends that the delta of temperature between the inside
shoulder and the outside shoulder be less than 20°C.
Data provided for informational purposes and may vary depending on actual
conditions of use. In the event of use outside of normal conditions of use,
these recommendations must be adapted. Consult a professional.
