14 Tires loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire failure and an accident. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your vehicle. TRAILER TOWING If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit your Michelin tire retailer for advice about the correct tire size and pressures. Tire size and pressures will depend on the type and size of trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire information placard that came on your vehicle, (located in the vehicle's door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door) and the owner's manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer towing. Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer Towing Operation of ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow is dangerous and should be avoided. If the low pressure warning indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been properly repaired and re-inflated to the proper inflation. If the tire cannot be properly repaired, it must be replaced with a new full-size, matching ZP tire, and inflated to the proper inflation, before the trailer can be safely towed again. WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVENLY WORN, OUT OF ALIGNMENT, OR UNBALANCED TIRES. WARNING CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. Read and follow the instructions on tire rotation and replacement below.
