WARRA TY PASSE GER & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
What is warranted and who is eligible
under the warranty
Tire Inc.(PTI), 1111, boul. Dr. Frederik-
Philips suite 506, St- aurent, Québec, H4M 2X6,
warrants to the original purchaser that all Pirelli
brand or PTI private brand Original Equipment and
Replacement Passenger and ight Truck radial tires
with a complete D.O.T. identification number and
branded Pirelli or a PTI private brand, which are
supplied by PTI, either directly or through an
authorized Pirelli Dealer, and which are mounted
on passenger cars, vans and light trucks within the
U.S.A. and Canada will be free from defects in
workmanship and materials.
What is the Adjustment Policy and for how long?
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to
workmanship or material anomalies during the
initial warranty period, which is one year from the
date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or
purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt
required) or within the first 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire
will be replaced to the owner at no charge for the
tire. If the tire is presented for ride related
anomalies the warranty period is one year from the
date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or
purchase of replacement tires or within the first
2/32” (1.6 mm) of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first. The owner must pay for any
associated service charges, including mounting and
balancing of the tire in both the aforementioned
cases.
After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire
becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or
material anomalies, the owner must pay the cost for
a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTI private brand
replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The
authorized Pirelli Dealer will determine the cost by
multiplying the percentage of the original usable
tread worn by the current dealer selling price. The

owner must pay for any associated service charges,
including mounting and balancing of the tire.
A tire has delivered its original usable tread and is
considered 100 % worn when the treadwear
indicators (2/32” (1.6 mm) tread remaining) become
visible regardless of age or mileage. Any alleged
anomalies shall always be assessed by PTI
technicians or by technicians designated by PTI.
THE PTI WARRA TY FOR ORIGI AL EQUIPME T

injury during the initial warranty period, which is
one year from the date of original retail purchase of
the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires
(purchase receipt required) or within the first 2/32”
(1.6mm) of the original usable tread, whichever
occurs first, the tire will be replaced to the owner at
no charge for the tire.
After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire
becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or
materials anomalies or road hazard injury, the
owner must pay the cost of a comparable new Pirelli
brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a
pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli dealer will
determine the cost by multiplying the percentage
of the original usable tread worn by the current
dealer selling price. The owner must pay for any
associated service charges, including mounting and
balancing of the tire.
This Road Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does
not warranty that a Pirelli tire will not fail due to
road hazard and does not authorize any person,
including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a
warranty.

The tires fitted to your vehicle as original
equipment were tested and approved by the
vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and
take into account all aspects of the vehicle’s
operation. Changes in the tire size, type or
construction should not be made without seeking
advice from an authorized Pirelli dealer, the vehicle
or tire manufacturer since unapproved tires on your
vehicle could adversely affect steering, handling,
braking and traction.

“ZR” may appear in the size esignation; above 300 km/h (186 mph), a “ZR”
must appear in the size esignation, inclu ing a ”Y” spee symbol in brackets.

2. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your
vehicle can be found either in your vehicle owner’s
manual or on your vehicle’s tire placard. Correct
pressures are related to loads, speeds and vehicle
handling and are vital for even braking, maximum
traction and good tire life. Under no circumstances
should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less
than that indicated in your vehicle owner’s manual
or on your vehicle’s tire placard or higher than the
maximum cold inflation pressure molded onto the
tire’s sidewall.
Underinflation causes excessive flexing,
deterioration of the tire and rapid wear of the tread
edges. Over inflation results in an uncomfortable
ride, a reduced area of tire contact with the road
surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher
susceptibility to impact damage and rapid wear on
the tread center.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a
month and should be checked only when the tire is
cold or before it has been driven. Driving even
short distance (1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes
tires to heat up and the air pressure to increase
approximately 4 p.s.i. In case it is necessary to
adjust the air pressure in the tires that have been
driven, the air pressure should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 p.s.i. higher than the
recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire 27 p.s.i.
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure 26 p.s.i.
Desired Gauge
Reading of Hot Tire 26 p.s.i. + 4 p.s.i. = 30 p.s.i.
Therefore add 3 p.s.i.
Check cold inflation pressure on tires, at least by
the next day. Never reduce or “bleed” pressure
from hot tires since your tires will then be under-
inflated when they cool down.
Always use a reliable pressure gauge.
3. Tire Replacement
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be
mounted in sets of four with the same tread type.

Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire
brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure
because different tire constructions have different
handling characteristics. Tires on the same axle
must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size,
load index, speed rating and Pirelli part number.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is
homogeneously fitted (four tires of the same tire
size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This applies
to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle. (Front
or Rear Drive).
Remember on all wheel drive or four wheel drive
vehicles the tires must always be replaced in sets of
four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, always
follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations. Passenger and light truck tires
are not interchangeable, due to differences in their
pressures and load carrying capacity.
Please be aware that it is important that, before
fitting the suggested tires, the fitment is allowed by
the technical specifications of the vehicle, the
vehicle manufacturer and the relevant
homologations. Pirelli Tire does not express any
view as to the compatibility of the wheel/tire
combination with the technical specifications for
the chassis and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHIC E DYNAMICS AND
OAD CARRYING CAPACITY, REP ACEMENT TIRES
MUST A WAYS HAVE A OAD INDEX AND SPEED
SYMBO EQUA TO OR GREATER THAN THOSE
FITTED AS ORIGINA EQUIPMENT. When making
plus size fitments, you should consult with the
dealer regarding any suspension or braking system
modifications which may be recommended for the
vehicle.
4. Tire Inspection
Tires (even the spare tire) should be examined and
air pressure checked monthly and always prior to
long trips. Tires showing bulges, cracks, cuts,
penetrations or uneven wear must be examined by
an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and replaced if
necessary. Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in
the tread grooves which show up when the tread
has worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm) remaining. At this point,
your tires must be replaced because they are illegal
and dangerous.

5. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light
snow conditions.
However, for winter use, you may wish to install
winter tires. During winter use, Pirelli strongly
recommends the fitment of 4 winter tires. Please
check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning
winter tire size recommendation. For studded
tires, Pirelli requires that they be installed on all
four positions. Installing studded tires only on the
front positions of any vehicle, including a front
wheel drive vehicle, may cause adverse handling
characteristics.
6. Tire Rotation
Pirelli recommends that you follow the tire rotation
procedure as defined in your vehicle owner’s
manual. If there is no procedure, then PTI
recommends in order to optimize your tire wear
that you rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 km.
7. Tire Repair
Punctures, nail holes or cuts located in the tread
area of Pirelli radial tires may be repaired if the
diameter does not exceed 6 mm (1/4”). The repair
material used must seal the inner liner and fill the
injury to be considered a permanent repair.
Industry approved repair methods include a
combination of plug and patch; chemical or hot
vulcanizing patches, and head type plugs, all
applied from inside the tire. A self-vulcanizing plug
repair may be used only in conjunction with a patch
repair, but not by itself. Plugs may cause further
damage to the tire, they are not always airtight and
the plug may fail. If a tire puncture exceeds 6 mm
(1/4”) or is located in the sidewall deflection areas,
the tire must be replaced. Never resort to tubes (in
tubeless tires) or sleeves or large thick patches
which can upset the balance and may actually
become dangerous at high air temperatures and
speeds.
PTI DOES NOT ENDORSE:
1) THE USE OF TIRE SEA ANTS IN PIRE I BRAND
TIRES TO REPAIR, EVEN TEMPORARI Y, A
PUNCTURE;
2) THE REPAIRING OF V, W, Y, or Z SPEED RATED
TIRES;

3) THE REPAIRING OF RUN F AT TIRES.
8. Storage
If you need to store tires off the car for short periods
of time, as in the case of winter tires, they should be
stored in a cool, dry place. They must be protected
from heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight. It is
suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof
containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
9. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in
Pirelli tires marked “Tubeless”. This includes tires
that have been repaired. If the tire’s pressure
retention ability has been affected, so as to
necessitate a tube being installed, the tire must be
replaced.
10. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels,
new tire valves of the correct type must be
installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify
that all your valves have proper valve caps.
Replace as necessary, since the valve cap is also a
seal against pressure loss.
11. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the
proper tools and equipment to perform the task
properly and safely. Your tires should be mounted
or demounted, or inflated using the Rubber
Association of Canada procedures or the vehicle
manufacturers’ recommendations.
Your wheels should be in good, clean condition.
Wheels should be inspected for distortion, dents,
cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be replaced as
necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING
BEADS.
12. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by
your vehicle manufacturer and your vehicle must be
kept within these tolerances. You should have your
alignment checked annually or whenever you
notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel
assemblies should be balanced each time a tire is
fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and

balancing are important for safety and maximum
performance and mileage from your tires.
13. RU FLAT Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with
respect to specific safety and operating information
relating to the vehicle. Damaged Run Flat tires or
Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of
pressure should immediately be replaced with
another Run Flat tire of identical size and Service
Description ( oad Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the
specifications of the vehicles on which they are
mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires may only be
mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to
accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with
a functional Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS). The mounting of tires and installation of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) should
be carried out by a specialized dealer.

8. Entreposage
Si vous devez entreposer vos pneus pour de cour-
tes durées, comme c’est le cas pour les pneus
d’hiver, gardez-les dans un endroit frais et sec. Ils
doivent être protégés de la chaleur, de l’eau, de l’o-
zone et du soleil direct. Il est suggéré de les mettre
dans des contenants opaques et étanches (par ex.
des sacs à ordures en plastique).
9. Chambre à air dans des pneus tubeless
On ne doit en aucun cas utiliser une chambre à air
avec des pneus Pirelli marqués « Tubeless ». Cela
s’applique également aux pneus qui ont été
réparés. Si la capacité de rétention d’air d’un pneu
a été affectée au point d’exiger la pose d’une cham-
bre, le pneu doit être remplacé.
10. Valves des pneus
Chaque fois que de nouveaux pneus sont installés
sur vos roues, de nouvelles valves appropriées
doivent être installées. Au cours de l’inspection de
routine de vos pneus, vérifiez que toutes vos valves
possèdent des bouchons appropriés. Remplacez-
les au besoin car les bouchons empêchent aussi les
fuites d’air.
11. Montage et démontage des pneus
Il est préférable de confier le changement des
pneus à des professionnels utilisant les techniques
et des outils appropriés pour effectuer la tâche
adéquatement et de façon sécuritaire. Vos pneus
devraient être montés, démontés et gonflés selon
les procédures de l’Association canadienne de l’in-
dustrie du caoutchouc ou du fabricant du véhicule.
es roues devraient être propres et en bonne con-
dition. es roues devraient être inspectées pour
toute déformation, accroc, fissure, rouille ou corps
étranger, et remplacées si nécessaire.

5. Pneus d’hiver
es pneus Pirelli standard peuvent être efficaces
dans des conditions de neige légère. Cependant,
pour une utilisation hivernale du véhicule, Pirelli
recommande fortement de monter quatre pneus
d’hiver. Veuillez vérifier le manuel du véhicule pour
les recommandations du fabricant quant aux pneus
d’hiver. Pour les pneus à clous, Pirelli exige qu’ils
soient montés aux quatre roues. Installer seule-
ment deux pneus à clous sur l’essieu avant de n’im-
porte quel véhicule peut avoir un impact négatif sur
son comportement routier.
6. Permutation des pneus
Pirelli recommande de suivre la procédure de per-
mutation décrite dans le manuel du véhicule. Si
aucune procédure n’est décrite, PPI recommande
des intervalles de permutation entre 6000 et 8000
km afin d’optimiser l’usure des pneus.
7. Réparation des pneus
es perforations, trous de clous ou coupures dans
la bande de roulement d’un pneu radial Pirelli peu-
vent être réparés si leur diamètre ne dépasse pas 6
mm (1/4 po). e matériau de réparation utilisé doit
sceller le revêtement intérieur et combler le dom-
mage pour être considéré comme une réparation
permanente. es méthodes de réparation approu-
vée par l’industrie incluent une combinaison de
mèche et de rustine; une rustine à vulcanisation
chimique ou à chaud et des mèches à tête, toutes
appliquées de l’intérieur du pneu. Une mèche
auto-vulcanisante peut être utilisée avec une rus-
tine mais pas seule, par elle-même. es mèches
peuvent aggraver le dommage au pneu, ne sont pas
toujours étanches et peuvent défaillir. Si une perfo-
ration est supérieure à 6 mm (1/4 po) ou est située
dans la zone de flexion des flancs, le pneu doit être
remplacé. Ne montez jamais une chambre à air
(dans un pneu tubeless) ou des chemises ou de
grosses rustines, qui peuvent déséquilibrer le pneu

et porter le même numéro de pièce Pirelli.
orsque deux pneus seulement sont remplacés sur
un véhicule ayant quatre pneus de mêmes dimen-
sions, montez les nouveaux pneus sur l’essieu
arrière. Ceci s’applique à tous les véhicules, qu’ils
soient à traction ou à propulsion.
Sur les véhicules à quatre roues motrices, rappelez-
vous que les pneus doivent toujours être rem-
placés par train de quatre.
Sur les camionnettes, suivez toujours les recom-
mandations du fabricant lors du remplacement des
pneus. es pneus de voitures de tourisme et de
camionnettes ne sont pas interchangeables à cause
des différences de pression de gonflage et de
capacité de charge.
Veuillez noter qu’il est important, avant de monter
des pneus, de s’assurer qu’ils sont conformes aux
spécifications techniques du véhicule, du fabricant
du véhicule, ainsi qu’aux normes pertinentes.
Pirelli Pneu n’exprime aucune opinion quant à la
compatibilité entre le jeu pneu/jante et les spécifi-
cations techniques du châssis et du véhicule.

jantes et les pneus, vous devriez toujours consulter
le détaillant concernant toute modification de la
suspension ou des freins recommandée pour le
véhicule.
4. Inspection des pneus
es pneus (incluant le pneu de secours) devraient
être examinés et leur pression vérifiée une fois par
mois — et toujours avant un long voyage. es
pneus qui présentent des bosses, des craquelures,
des coupures, des pénétrations ou une usure
irrégulière devraient être examinés par un détail-
lant autorisé Pirelli et remplacés si nécessaire. es
pneus Pirelli ont des indicateurs d’usure dans les
rainures de la semelle qui affleurent lorsqu’il ne
reste plus que 2/32 po (1,6 mm) de la bande de
roulement. Dans ce cas, les pneus doivent être
remplacés parce qu’ils sont illégaux et dangereux.
