SYSTEM TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
ABOUT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
As the purchaser of Michelin PAX System tires and support rings, mounted
on a vehicle approved for the PAX System, equipped with a properly
operating low tire pressure warning system, you are covered by this limited
warranty. You are encouraged to read this booklet carefully to
understand the separate warranty coverages for tires and
componets that apply to your PAX System. Please also pay
close attention to the Owner’s Manual part of this booklet
since it provides specific safety and maintenance
information for your PAX System.
The Michelin PAX System is a very sophisticated system that includes the tire,
support ring and gel, pressure sensing device, and wheel. In the event of a
loss of tire air pressure, with this system you can still carefully maneuver the
vehicle at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, for a distance of up to 125 miles,
even though a tire has lost all air! That means time to get off the highway
and get to a place where the tire can be inspected, replaced, or possibly
repaired and returned to service. That’s peace of mind!
The distance that can be safely traveled following an air loss incident will
depend upon the conditions under which the vehicle is operating, the
degree of air loss, the extent of the damage causing the air loss, the
ambient temperature, the weight of the vehicle and the operating speed
of the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss incident, the
greater the likelihood that the tire can be re-inflated (or repaired, if
punctured) and returned to service.
While no tire, regardless of its quality or design, is indestructible, the
Michelin PAX System tire is a design innovation that puts you in control of
a potentially compromising situation.
NOTE: Presently the Michelin PAX System is available only as original
equipment on selected vehicles.
