9 tires and use a pressure gauge to check the inflation in all 4 tires following any low pressure warning (unless advised to do otherwise by the manufacturer of your low pressure warning system). If the tire pressure is at or below 18 PSI, proceed to the Michelin tire retailer for ZP tires (or a representative of your vehicle manufacturer if advised to do so in your vehicle owner's manual) and have the tire demounted and thoroughly inspected for possible internal damage. If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure is more than 18 PSI, reinflate your tire to the proper inflation. When tires have cooled, check inflation again. If any tire has lost more than 5 PSI from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at once by a Michelin tire retailer (or representative of your vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle owner's manual so advises.) Failure to do so may cause irreparable damage to the tire and result in sudden tire failure and an accident. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS): Your vehicle is likely equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that is designed to monitor the pressure of tires mounted on your vehicle and sends a signal to the driver if a tire pressure falls below a predetermined level. A TPMS should not replace monthly manual pressure checks for all four tires and the spare. You should manually monitor and check tire pressure inflation with a pressure gauge. Your tires should have the recommended pressure listed by your vehicle's manufacturer. This information can be found in the vehicle owner's manual and is on a placard located in the vehicle's door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door. If you have plus-size tires that require a higher inflation pressure, your tire pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to the new proper inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus-size tires for proper inflation pressure. You should check air pressure in all your tires, including the spare, once each month and before every long trip. Regardless whether your spare is a full-size spare or a mini-spare, make sure that it is properly inflated. If the TPMS generates improper monitoring or signals, you should consult your vehicle owner's manual and follow up with your vehicle's manufacturer. TIRE SPINNING NEVER SPIN WHEELS ABOVE 35 MPH. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND NEAR A SPINNING WHEEL. WARNING Do not spin wheels at more than 35 mph (55 km/hr) as indicated on your vehicle's speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, unloaded tire can cause it to "explode" from centrifugal force. The energy released by such an explosion may cause serious physical injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a spinning tire. When in mud, sand, snow, ice, or another slippery condition, do not engage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor excessively, particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may cause a drive tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed-enduring capability. This is also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel assembly.
