I just wanted to share with everyone at Michelin just how well their tires are. My girlfriend has a 2007 Honda Civic SI
with 215/45/17 MXM4 Pilots, I just replaced them they had 47,000 miles on them and 1/32nd tread, we rotated them every
6000 miles. But the thing that blew my mind was getting home one night this past January in the worst Ice storm we had ever
seen, it took us 4 hours to make a 1 hour trip, we slipped a lot but those slick tires got us home! I worked for American
Tire Distributors for 7 years and sold many tires but have always explained to the dealers the difference between Michelin
and other brands....well wished I would have had a camcorder with us that night!*

- I just bought a set of MICHELIN Pilot® MXM4® tires.
I love the tires! Handling is awesome. I drive on back roads to work with a lot of S-curves.
The performance is GREAT!*

1. The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
2. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
