12 out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, a tire's speed rating does not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Michelin highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 kph). Michelin winter tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall or tires with Q symbols have a speed rating of 100 mph (160 km/hr). Winter tires with a speed symbol have a maximum speed rating in accordance with the symbol. The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and replace the original manufacturer's ratings. IMPORTANT: The replacement tire speed rating should be equal to or higher than the OEM tire speed rating. If a lower speed rated tire is selected, then the vehicle top speed becomes limited to that of the lower speed rating selected. The customer must be informed of the new speed restriction and that the vehicle's handling may be adversely impacted. REMEMBER…High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage your tires. AND…When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is especially important. INSPECT YOUR TIRES, AND DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL INSPECT AND REPLACE ANY VISIBLY DAMAGED TIRE IMMEDIATELY AFTER STRIKING ANY OBJECT IN THE ROAD. WARNING Road hazards and objects in the road, such as potholes, curbs, glass, metal, rocks, wood, and debris, can damage a tire and should be safely avoided. If your vehicle hits any such hazard or object, however, you should promptly inspect your tires. If you see any damage to any tire or wheel, replace it with a properly inflated spare at once and have your tires, including the spare, inspected by a tire professional. A tire that hits a road hazard or object can be damaged but not have any visible sign of damage on its surface. A tire damaged by an impact can suddenly fail a day, a week, or even months later. You may not recall having hit an object or a road hazard and may not see any tire damage, but such an event may have damaged one or more of your tires. Air loss, unusual tire wear, localized wear, or vibrations can also be signs of internal tire damage and, accordingly, should be addressed as promptly as are instances of visible tire damage. If you suspect any damage to your tire or wheel from an impact with a curb, pothole, debris on the road, or any other road hazard or object, or if you feel or hear any unusual vibration, replace the tire and wheel with a properly inflated spare at once and immediately visit a qualified tire professional.
