Michelin LIGHT TRUCK TIRE Automobile Parts User Manual


 
For this reason, tires should always be stored in a cool, dry,
clean, indoor environment. If storage is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the tires by raising the vehicle or by
removing the tires from the vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these instructions could result in damage to
your tires or 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 that surfaces
on which tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other
substances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to
these materials during storage or driving could be subject to
sudden failure.)
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAX
®
SYSTEM TIRES
PAX System wheels are different from all other wheels. Never attempt to mount
a non-PAX System tire on a PAX System wheel, or a PAX System tire on a non -
PAX System wheel. Attempting to do so could cause serious injury or death.
All PAX
®
System components (tire, wheel, support ring, pressure sensor and gel)
must be utilized. Never utilize a PAX System tire and wheel without every other
properly functioning component part, correctly installed by an Authorized PAX
System retailer. The PAX System must be used on all wheel positions.
After a low or zero pressure driving event, the PAX System tire and wheel may be
hot to the touch. Always allow a PAX System tire to cool before attempting to
handle it. Failure to do so could result in injury.
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous. PAX System tires must be
mounted and dismounted only by specially trained, authorized
PAX System retailers, utilizing PAX System - authorized
equipment.
Your PAX System tires must be mounted only on correct-size PAX System wheels
that are clean and in good condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted
(steel wheels) or corroded (alloy wheels) may cause tire damage. The inside of
the tire must be free from foreign material. Have your retailer check wheels
before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can explode during
mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure
on the road. It may have been damaged internally (which is not externally
visible) by having been dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
As with any other tire air valve, the PAX System valve stem -
pressure sensor combination must be in good condition to assure
its performance. Always utilize valve caps capable of containing
the tire’s air pressure, should the valve core leak.
It is recommended that you have your tires and wheels balanced. Tires and
wheels which are not balanced may cause steering difficulties, a bumpy ride,
and irregular tire wear.
