SEALANTS – FOREIGN MATTER IN TIRES Please check with Michelin prior to using sealants or compounds in any MICHELIN ® tires that have sensors in them. They may adversely affect the performance of the sensors.* The use of sealants in MICHELIN Truck Tires does not ® automatically nullify the warranty agreement covering the tires. If the sealant has been tested and certified by the sealant manufacturer as being safe for use in tires, then the warranty agreement will remain in effect. If it is determined that the sealant adversely affected the inner liner and/or the performance of the tire, then the warranty agreement may be nullified. Please refer to the MICHELIN ® Truck Tire Warranty* for what is and is not covered by the warranty. If you have any questions, please contact Michelin at 1-888-622-2306 or refer to www.michelintruck.com for warranty information. If foreign matter is installed in any tire, be careful not to contaminate the bead, and be sure to advise any personnel working with the tire to exercise due caution. TIRE INSPECTION While checking inflation pressures, it is a good time to inspect your tires. If you see any damage to your tires or wheels/rims, see a MICHELIN ® Truck Tire dealer at once. Before driving, inspect your tires, including the spare, and check your air pressures. If your pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of 4 psi or more, look for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel/rim damage that may account for air loss. If the tire is 20% below the maintenance air pressure, it must be considered flat. Remove and inspect for punctures or other damage. If run-flat damage is detected, scrap the tire. Refer to TMC RP 216, Radial Tire Conditions Analysis Guide. Tires should be inspected for bulges, cracks, cuts, or penetrations. If any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by a MICHELINTruck Tire dealer at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction, property damage and/or personal injury. Equipment that has been out of service for an extended period of time should have the tires inspected for ozone damage and proper air inflation. The vehicle should have some moderate operating service prior to being put in full service operation.
