1- INTRODUCTION
recommendations and instructions for use. These recommendations are valid subject more restrictive local regulations issued or imposed by the organisers of competitions, rallies or circuits regarding the use of tyres. Non-respect of these recommendations or instructions may lead to the use of incorrect equipment or incorrect assembly, provoking premature wear and tear of the tyre. Use of banked circuits imposes the use of tyres and/or specic conditions of use. Prior to any use, ensure you read the recommendations for use on our website www.michelin.com, Motorsport section or contact the Michelin department for the Open Wheels / Touring activity: +33 (0) 4 73 30 13 03 or GT / Porsche / Prototype: +33 (0) 4 73 30 21 25 and Rally: +33 (0) 4 73 30 44 45.
2- RECOMMENDATIONS
Verication prior to use The tyre selection must correspond to the vehicle equipment, as dened by the vehicle maker and manufacturer. Ensure that all tyres on the same axle are of the same type (brand, industrial reference, dimensions, structure). Before mounting, ensure that: - The diameter of the rim is an exact t to the inner diameter of the tyre. - The width of the rim corresponds to that recommended by the manufacturer or, failing that, to applicable standards (ETRTO, TRA, JATMA, etc.) - The type of rim (tubeless, tube type) corresponds to the type of casing used. - The rim is in good condition and does not present wear (cracks, deformation, etc.) - The rim is able to support the required mounting pressure - The tyres have not been repaired - The valves are in proper condition and if not replace them
3- VALVE
- Respect all instructions provided by the manufacturers (adjustment and compatibility with the rim, type of alloys, dimensions). - Systematically tighten the polyamide valve cap with a washer (polyamide is used for its thermal resistance qualities). This ensures the valve mechanism is protected and an airtight seal on the assembled tyre. - Ensure that the valve is in good condition (no ovalisation, no traces of impact, etc.). - Regularly check the tightening torques on closed valves. - Only use metal valves.
... / Balancing - For use on a circuit, it is recommended to balance the four wheels. - Balancing machines must be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer instructions. - Pay special attention to the centring devices (cone / screw plate) on the machine. 7- TYRE AGING - Tyres aged even when not used, or if they are only used occasionally. Excessive tyre aging may lead to a loss of grip. - Withdraw from service any tyres presenting clear signs of aging or fatigue (cracks in the outer tread, shoulder, bead ank, deformation, etc.) If in doubt contact a tyre professional. - We recommend that Michelin competition tyres be used within 24 months of purchase (within 3 months if stored in severe, tropical-like conditions).
5- TYRE RETREADS
- Retreading a tyre modies its characteristics and performance. The operation requires suitable equipment and tools, as well as compliance with instructions. - Retreading a used tyre (not new) is prohibited. - Prior to any retreading operation, contact the Michelin department for the Open Wheels / Touring activities: +33 (0) 4 73 30 13 03 or GT / Porsche / Prototype: +33 (0) 4 73 30 21 25 and Rally: +33 (0) 4 73 30 44 45. Reminder: Retreading or regrooving ECE R30-approved tyres, intended for use on public roads, is prohibited.
9- CONDITIONS OF USE
- Never apply chemical products to the outer tread of the tyre. - Never use tyres with an unknown past. - If heating cabinets are used, never bring mounted assemblies into contact with heated metal parts and/or directly exposed to the heat source. - Ensure that the pressures, camber angles, speed and axle load values comply with Michelin recommendations for the intended use (update recommendations according to use). Recommendations for standard use are available www.michelin.com or from the Michelin department the Open Wheels / Touring activity: +33 (0) 4 73 30 13 or GT / Porsche / Prototype: +33 (0) 4 73 30 21 and Rally: +33 (0) 4 73 30 44 45. on for 03 25
Moreover, tyres must not be subject to: - direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight - sources of heat and humidity (storage in tropical conditions) - solvents, lubricants, fuels and other chemical products - Ozone emissions from equipment such as transformers, welding units, electric motors, etc. - Long term storage in stacks Non-compliance with these storage recommendations may greatly reduce the period over which the tyre will retain its peak performance. The storage location must be dry, ventilated, without direct light and used to store tyres only. Racks enabling tyres to be stored vertically should be used to avoid exerting pressure on the casings.
