Testimonials

Cross Terrain® SUV
May 21, 2007
I drive on your P255/70SR-18 tires. A nail punctured one tire which unfortunately could not be repaired. It was a shame since I had put 72,000 miles on them. Naturally I replaced them with the same tires but I wanted to tell you how happy I am with your product.*

A tire dealer tried to convince me to buy another brand, but I said I wanted Michelin. I had 105,411 miles on the Michelins I was replacing. Wow! Just how long do these things last anyway?*

I just wanted to send this to compliment you on the quality of your Cross Terrain® SUV tires. I know they are rated for about 60,000 or 65,000 miles, but these had 80,000 miles on them and still were not worn down to the wear markers. I think that is truly exceptional. Thanks for producing such good quality tires. I will continue to share this story with my friends. NICE GOING!!!*

* Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.

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.

S-Speed Rated Sizes:

Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112

Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0

Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100
