HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
Warranty claims can only be processed through an authorized MICHELIN ® truck
tire retailer. A tire that becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by
this workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new MICHELIN ® truck tire, for a pro-rata charge. The MICHELIN ®
truck tire retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn by the current selling price at the adjustment
location or the price on the current MICHELIN ® Truck Tires Base Price List,
whichever is lower.
You pay the cost of mounting and balancing as well as any other service
charges and applicable taxes.
LONG HAUL TIRES WITH MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED CASING WARRANTY
If your Long Haul tire is covered by the “7 year / 700,000 Mile (1,130,000 km)

READING THE DOT
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000 to 2025)
DOT XXXXX XXXX XXXX (transition to 13 digits beginning 2018; in effect for all
plants by 2025)
THE DOT
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturers’ compliance with U.S. Department
of Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is the tire
identification or “serial number.” The first two (or three) characters
identify the plant where the tire was manufactured. The next two characters
reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may e used at the tire
manufacturer’s option as a descriptive code. The last three characters are
numbers identifying the week and year of manufacture. (Example: “O25” means
the second week of the year of the decade, e.g.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For the
1990-1999 decade MICHELIN ® brand tires are marked with a triangle pointing to
the last three numeric characters. Tires produced after July 2000 have an
additional digit to identify a given decade. For example, 2800 means the tire
was produced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201 uring the 2nd week of 2001.
If the last digits of your DOT number contain three numeric characters and are
not marked with a triangle, consult a qualified tire professional o

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN
THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR
EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE IRREPARABLE TIRE DAMAGE
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire
destruction. For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your MICHELIN ® truck tire retailer. If not, refer to the vehicle
placard.
The placard indicates the inflation pressures required for the maximum axle
loads (gross axle weight rating). However, do not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure for the tire or the wheel on which it is mounted.
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE UNNECESSARILY ON IMPROPERLY INFLATED TIRES.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION PRESSURE IN ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, AT
LEAST ONCE A WEEK
Failure to maintain correct inflation pressure may result in improper vehicle
handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire destruction,
loss of vehicle control, and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once a week and always prior to long-
distance trips.
Please refer to your authorized MICHELIN ® truck tire retailer or
business.michelin.ca for detailed information
on axle loads and appropriate cold inflation pressures. Pressures should be
checked when tires are cold; in other words, before they have been driven on.
The ideal time to check tire pressures is early morning. Driving, even for a
short distance, causes tires to heat up and pressure to increase. Never bleed
air from hot tires. Bleeding air from hot tires could result in
underinflation. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow
children to inflate or deflate tires.
If your pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of
four pounds or more, look for signs of penetration, valve leakage or wheel
damage that may account for the pressure loss. Any tire suspected of having
been run flat or run at very low pressure (less than 0% of normal operating
pressure) should not be re-inflated without careful inspection of the entire
tire.
INSPECT YOUR TIRES DAILY — IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS,
TAKE THEM TO AN AUTHORIZED MICHELIN ® RETAILER T ONCE HAZARDS
Driving over potholes, curbs, glass, metal, rocks, wood debris and the like,
can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. Unavoidable contact with such
hazards should prompt a thorough tire inspection. If you see damage to your
tires or wheels, replace with a spare and immediately visit a MICHELIN ® truck
tire retailer for advice.
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE UNNECESSARILY ON A TIRE OR WHEEL THAT HAS VISIBLE DAMAGE.
INSPECTION
Always examine your tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations, and abnormal
tire wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread, which may be caused by
misalignment or underinflation. If any such damage is found, the tire must be
inspected by a MICHELIN ® truck tire retailer at once. The use of a damaged
tire could result in rapid pressure loss and sudden tire destruction. Failure
to control a vehicle when one or more tires experience a sudden pressure loss
can lead to an accident. All tires will wear out faster when subjected to
high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent
driving on surfaces that are in poor condition, and off-road use. Surfaces
with holes and rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause vehicle
misalignment. When driving on such surfaces, drive carefully and slowly.
Before driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any
damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, and unusual wear patterns.
WEAR BARS
MICHELIN ® truck tires contain “Wear Bars“ in the grooves of the tire tread
that show up when only 2 ⁄ 32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread is remaining. At
this stage, tires must be replaced. Tires orn beyond this stage are dangerous.
(Some jurisdictions may require the tires on the front axles of a bus, truck
or truck tractor to have at least 4 ⁄ 32nds of an inch of tread depth
remaining.)
HIGH-SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR TIRES
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high speeds,
even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more
difficult to avoid and, if contact is made, has a greater chance of causing
tire damage than at lower speeds. Moreover, driving at high speeds reduces the
reaction time available to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop.
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE AT SPEEDS FASTER THAN THE SPEED RATINGS FOR YOUR TIRES. NEVER
EXCEED LEGAL SPEED LIMITS OR SPEEDS EASONABLE FOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with the spare at once
and visit a MICHELIN ® truck tire retailer. The maximum speed at which
MICHELIN ® truck tires can be operated is indicated in the MICHELIN ® Truck
Tire Data Book. This speed varies for each type of tire and depends on the
type of application. Consult a MICHELIN ® truck tire retailer for assistance
in determining the maximum speed for your application. Exceeding this maximum
speed will cause the tire to build up excessive heat, which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden pressure loss and rapid tire destruction.
Failure to control a vehicle when one or more tires experience sudden pressure
loss can lead to an accident, property damage, and personal injury. In any
case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits
and driving conditions. WHEEL ALIGNMENT, TRACKING, AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT
FOR SAFETY AND GETTING MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVENLY WORN, OUT OF ALIGNMENT, OR UNBALANCED TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, your vehicle may be out of
alignment. This condition not only shortens the life of your tires but also
adversely affects the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be
dangerous. If you detect irregular wear, have the alignment of the wheels and
the parallelism of the axles checked immediately. Also, check to see that your
tires are properly inflated. For optimum tire life and performance, the front-
end alignment on vehicles equipped with MICHELIN ® truck tires should be in
accordance with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer. Care should
be taken to ensure ire/wheel concentricity to avoid potential issues with
imbalance. It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels dynamically
balanced. Tires and wheels that are not balanced may cause steering
difficulties, a bumpy ride, and irregular tire wear.
DO NOT OVERLOAD — DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE ON OVERLOADED TIRES. DRIVING ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS.
The maximum load rating marked on the tire sidewall of any truck tire is based
on a specific maximum speed of operation. Consult a MICHELIN ® Truck Tire Data
Book for complete information on allowable loads for the tires in your
application. Tires that are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for
the particular application will build up excessive heat that may cause sudden
tire destruction, property damage and personal injury.
In the case of dual-mounted tires, if one of the tires is run underinflated or
flat then the other tire will become severely overloaded, which could lead to
tire failure. “Limping in” is illegal and should never be attempted.
TIRE MIXING
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE IMPROPERLY MIXED TIRES
FOUR-WHEEL TRUCKS
For best performance, it is recommended that the same size and type of tire be
used on all four wheel positions. If only two MICHELIN ® radial truck tires
are mounted with wo non-radial tires, the radial tires should be mounted on
the rear axle. Before mixing different types of tires 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 n
four-wheel drive vehicles, as this may require special precautions. VEHICLES
WITH MORE THAN FOUR WHEEL POSITIONS For best performance, it is strongly
recommended that radial and nonradial tires not be mixed in a dual fitment.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE ON ALTERED TIRES
Do not make or allow to be made any alteration to your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage that can result in an
accident. Tires that become unserviceable due to alterations such as, but not
limited to, truing, the addition of balancing or sealant liquids, or the use
of tire dressings containing petroleum distillates, re excluded from warranty
coverage.
IMPROPERLY RETREADED AND/OR REPAIRED TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE TIRE
DESTRUCTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING
DO NOT DRIVE ON IMPROPERLY RETREADED OR REPAIRED TIRES
Retreading and repairing of MICHELIN ® truck tires should be performed only by
qualified personnel with proper equipment using the procedures contained in
MICHELIN®’s Retread and Repair manuals. If any MICHELIN ® tire sustains a
puncture, take it to an authorized MICHELIN ® tire retailer to check for
possible damage that may have occurred. Plug-only repairs done on the wheel
are considered improper and therefore not recommended. Such repairs are not
reliable and may cause further damage to the tire and may result in tire
failure.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer surfaces from ozone
and weather checking. As the tire rolls and flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface, replenishing this protection throughout
the normal use of the tire. Consequently, when tires sit outdoors, unused for
long periods of time (a month or more), their surfaces become dry and more
susceptible to ozone and weather checking, and the casing becomes susceptible
to flat spotting. Serious problems also occur with tube-type tires hen mounted
with water trapped between the tire and the tube. Due to pressurization, the
liquid can pass through the inner liner and into the casing plies. For these
reasons, ires should always be stored in a cool, dry, clean indoor
environment. Failure to store tires in accordance with these instructions
could result in premature aging of the tires and sudden tire failure. When
tires are stored, be sure they are placed away from sources of heat and ozone,
such as hot pipes and electric generators. Be sure the surfaces on which tires
are stored are clean and free from grease, petroleum products or other
substances that could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these
materials during storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.)
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT TIRE DESTRUCTION, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, AND PERSONAL INJURY
Recommendations published by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and
Safety (CCOHS) deal in detail with mounting and demounting of tires for
trucks. You should sure that you are always in compliance with these
recommendations. In addition, Michelin urges you to bear in mind the following
considerations:
Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by professionally trained
persons using proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA).
WARNING
TIRE AND WHEEL SERVICING CAN BE DANGEROUS AND MUST BE DONE ONLY BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL USING PROPER TOOLS AND PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO READ AND COMPLY WITH
ALL PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Tires should be mounted on wheels of the correct size and type that are in
good, clean condition. Bent chipped or rusted wheels or rim components may
cause tire damage and also malfunction causing an accident. All-wheel
components (i.e., flanges, lock rings, rim base) must match. Be sure to check
the wheel manufacturer’s specifications. When changing any tire, always
deflate the tire before loosening any wheel or rim lugs. Always install new
valve cores with new mountings.
FOR ALL MICHELIN ® TUBE-TYPE TIRES
TUBES: Always fit a new MICHELIN ® tube of the proper size in a new
mounting. A tube through normal use will experience growth; therefore, if an
old tube is reused, there is a probability of creasing it with subsequent
chafing and eventual failure of the tube causing tire damage. MICHELIN ® tubes
are made of butyl rubber and marked with the trade name “AIR STOP”. It is
essential to use an “AIR STOP” tube with a MICHELIN ® X ® tire. These tubes
are made with an overlap splice that is stronger than the butt splice used in
many other tubes. The use of other tubes not designed for MICHELIN ® X ®
radial tires could result in tube failure causing tire damage.
FLAPS: Always install a new MICHELIN ® flap when you install a new tire.
After a limited time, the flap will develop a set to match the tire and wheel
in which it is fitted; therefore, it will not exactly match a new tire/ wheel
combination.
FOR ALL MICHELIN ® TIRES
LUBRICANT: Always use a proper lubricant when mounting tires. Use only an
approved tire-mounting lubricant. Never use antifreeze, silicones, or
petroleum-based lubricants. Do not allow excess lubricant to run down and
collect inside the tire.
SAFETY CAGE: Always use a safety cage or other OSHA-approved restraining
devices when inflating a truck tire. Ensure that the safety cage is large
enough to accommodate wide base tires when inflating MICHELIN ® X One ® tires.
Never stand over the tire or in front of the valve when inflating. Use an
inline gauge and stand to the side. Before final inflation, check the assembly
carefully for signs of weakness or irregularities.
VALVE CAPS: It is essential that all valves be fitted with pressure-
sealing metal valve caps, which are the PRIMARY seal of the valve, to avoid
leaks. After mounting, check the assemblies for leaks. When wheel assemblies
are mounted on a vehicle, be sure that the valves do not touch the brake drums
or any mechanical part of the vehicle.
DUAL MOUNTING: Tires mounted in duals must be matched so that the maximum
difference between the diameters of the tires does not exceed 1 ⁄ 4 inches.
Failure to properly match dual tires will result in the tire with the larger
diameter carrying a disproportionate share of the load which can cause sudden
tire destruction, property damage, and personal injury. Proper dual spacing
must be provided to prevent the tires from rubbing together and to allow for
the flow of cooling air. Consult the MICHELIN ® Truck ire Data Book or visit
a MICHELIN ®truck tire retailer for information on the minimum dual spacing
required for a particular tire/wheel fitment.
PREPARATION OF WHEELS AND RIMS
Prior to fitment, wheel assemblies should be thoroughly inspected for cracks,
warpage, deformation of flanges, side rings, lock rings, etc. The condition of
the stud holes on the heels should also be checked. If any of these conditions
are discovered, the wheel should be discarded. All burrs, welds, hammer dents,
etc., that are present on the tire side of the rim must be made smooth with a
file and/or emery cloth. Remove rust with a wire brush and apply rust-
inhibiting paint. Make sure the tires are being mounted on the correct wheel
size and type. The wheels and rim components should be in good condition and
clean.
MICHELIN ® X ONE ® TIRE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
ALL DRIVERS OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN ® X ONE ® TIRES SHOULD BE
AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
PRESSURE MAINTENANCE
Drivers have commented that an underinflated MICHELIN ® X One ® tire is more
likely to be detected with a simple visual inspection than duals. However,
pressure is difficult to gauge visually even for the most experienced driver.
Drivers should always use a properly calibrated gauge when verifying the
pressure of a MICHELIN ® X One ® tire and not rely on the aspect of the tire.
If the tire is 20% below the recommended pressure, it must be considered flat,
removed, and inspected for punctures or other damage. failure to do so may
cause tire failure.
VEHICLE HANDLING
Drivers have commented that the wide, stable footprint of the MICHELIN ® X
One ® tire can provide the eel f a much more stable truck compared to
traditional dual tires. Most MICHELIN ® X One ® fitments allow the track of
the tractor and trailer to be widened. However, rivers should not let the
outstanding handling of the MICHELIN ® X One ® tire give them a false sense of
stability in curves. Drivers should always respect all posted speed limits
regardless of tire fitment. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to tip.
RAPID PRESSURE LOSS TECHNIQUES
Extensive testing has shown that rapid pressure loss on a MICHELIN ® X One ®
tire will not compromise the stability and behavior of the vehicle. However,
with one tire on each axle end, the loss of pressure will allow the wheel and
axle end to drop and possibly contact the road surface. To avoid additional
damage to the tire, wheel, and axle due to tire/wheel lock-up and brake drag,
drivers should e encouraged to decelerate gradually through downshifting, the
use of the trailer brake (when appropriate), or by pumping the brakes during
the initial phase of acceleration to allow some rotation of the assembly.
Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to the tire, wheel, axle
components, and vehicle.
Failure to observe any of the recommended precautions contained in this
owner’s manual can lead to erratic vehicle behavior and/or tire damage
possibly resulting in an accident
Some jurisdictions may forbid the use of regrooved, recapped or retreaded
tires on the front wheels of buses. Consult local authorities
Anytime you see damage to your tires or wheels, contact your local MICHELIN ®
truck tire retailer listed in the dealer locator on business.michelin.ca at
once. If further assistance is required, contact:

REMEMBER… TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR
TIRES AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:
- Check tire pressures at least once a week when tires are cold
- Maintain the proper pressure in the tires for the load being carried
- Do not underinflate
- Do not overload
- Do not overinflate
- Drive at moderate speeds and observe legal speed limits
- Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs, or edges of pavement
