DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden
tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire
placard on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s manual for
placard location) for the recommended operating pressures. For
replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your
tire retailer; if not, refer to the vehicle placard.
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do
not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
PAX SYSTEM TIRES AT LOW OR ZERO AIR PRESSURE
In the event of low or zero pressure incident, immediately proceed to an
authorized PAX System Service facility where your PAX System can be
disassembled, inspected, and the tire appropriately repaired or replaced.
The handling characteristics of a vehicle with a deflated PAX System tire
(whether front or rear) are not the same as those of a vehicle with
normally inflated tires. Avoid high speeds and hard cornering whenever a
low pressure warning is activated.
Even a PAXSystem tire can build up excessive heat when run underinflated
for an extended period of time. The length of time and distance a PAX
System tire will perform at low or zero air pressure will depend upon the
severity of the event causing air loss, ambient temperature, speed at which
the tire is operated, the load and the conditions under which the tire is
operated (i.e. hard braking, cornering and other sharp maneuvers will
greatly reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air
pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden tire
destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or cause
difficulty in vehicle handling, stop driving inmediately. If PAX System tires
are supplied as original equipment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for
complete details on the low air pressure warning system designed to alert
you in the event of a low pressure condition.
NOTE: PAX SYSTEM TIRES ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH
AN OPERATIONAL, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS),
APPROVED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER FOR USE WITH THE PAX
SYSTEM. Otherwise, all provisions of the limited warranty are void. For a
list of approved systems, see your authorized PAX System
retailer, or call 1-877-PAX TIRE or 1-877-729-8473.
For all types of tires, consult your vehicle tire placard or owner’s manual
for recommended operating pressures. If the tires are purchased as
replacement tires, operating instructions for the low pressure warning
system will be provided by the manufacturer of that system.
Recommended operating pressures will be provided by an Authorized PAX
System retailer. These inflation pressures must be maintained as a
minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated
on the tire sidewall.
