PIRELLI® ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
& REPLACEMENT LIMITED WARRANTY
PASSENGER & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
What Is Warranted and Who Is Eligible Under the Warranty?
Pirelli Tire LLC [Pirelli Tire North America (PTNA)], 100 Pirelli Drive,
PO Box 700, Rome, GA 30161-7000, warrants to the original
purchaser that all Pirelli brand or PTNA private brand Original Equip-
ment and Replacement Passenger and Light Truck radial tires with a
complete D.O.T. identication number and branded Pirelli or a PTNA
private brand, which are supplied by PTNA, either directly or through an
authorized Pirelli Dealer, and which are mounted on passenger cars,
vans and light trucks within the U.S.A. and Canada will be free from
defects in workmanship and materials.
Original Equipment and Replacement Tires
Original Equipment Tires are dened as tires supplied as original equip-
ment by the vehicle manufacturer on new vehicles. Original Equipment
tires are backed by workmanship and materials coverage. The PTNA
Limited Treadwear warranty does not apply to Original Equipment tires.
Replacement Tires are dened as tires mounted to your vehicle after
the Original Equipment tires have been removed. Replacement Tires
are backed by both Workmanship and Materials and PTNA Limited
Treadwear coverage as dened in this document.
What Is the Adjustment Policy and For How Long?
If a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or
material anomalies during the initial warranty period, which is one year
from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or purchase of
replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the rst 2/32”
of the original usable tread, whichever occurs rst, the tire will be
replaced to the owner at no charge for the tire. To receive consideration
for warranty coverage, tires must be returned to a PTNA authorized
dealer. Technicians designated by PTNA make the nal determination
regarding qualication for Workmanship and Materials and
Limited Treadwear coverage on tires submitted to Pirelli via authorized
channels. If the tire is presented for ride related anomalies the warranty
period is one year from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle or
purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the rst
2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs rst. The owner must
pay for any associated service charges, including costs associated with
mounting and balancing in both the aforementioned cases.
After the initial warranty period, if a Pirelli tire becomes unserviceable
due to workmanship or material anomalies the owner must pay the cost
for a comparable new Pirelli brand or PTNA private brand replacement
tire on a pro-rata basis. The authorized Pirelli Dealer will determine the
cost by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn by
the current dealer selling price. The owner must pay for any associated
service charges, including mounting and balancing of the tire.
A tire has delivered its original usable tread life and is considered 100%
worn when the treadwear indicators (2/32” tread remaining) become
visible regardless of age or mileage.
Scorpion Verde All Season Plus - 30 Day Trial
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus tires are covered by a 30 day trial
period. At any time during the 30 day period if you are not satised with
your new Scorpion Verde All Season Plus tires, the set of four tires with
the original sales receipt may be returned to the dealer from which they
were purchased and may be exchanged for a set of Pirelli tires for equal
or lesser value. Visit www.us.pirelli.com for details regarding terms and
conditions.
Limited Treadwear Warranty for Replacement Tires Only
In addition to the above workmanship and materials warranty PTNA also
warrants to the original consumer purchaser only, that the tread life of
Cinturato P3000, P4 Four Seasons, Cinturato P5, P6 Four Seasons Plus,
Cinturato P7 All Season Plus, Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season,
Scorpion ATR, Scorpion STR and Scorpion Verde All Season Plus
replacement street legal tires which are supplied by PTNA either di-
rectly or through an authorized dealer, will last for the described vehicle
odometer miles from the point of original retail purchase. The authorized
Pirelli Dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the percentage of the
mileage obtained by the current dealer selling price.
The PTNA Treadwear Mileage Warranty Conditions:
- You are the original purchaser of the tires and have a copy of the
original invoice showing the application mileage.
- You are the owner of the vehicle on which the tires were originally
installed.
- The tires are replacement tires (PTNA Treadwear Mileage Warranty
does not apply to Original Equipment tires).
- You have had the tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
- The tires are worn evenly across the tread, down to the treadwear
indicator (2/32”) at which time they are considered to be 100% worn out.
There cannot be more than a 2/32” tread depth difference across the tire.
- Your servicing Pirelli Dealer has completed the Tire Rotation Record.
- PTNA Mileage Warranty does not apply to Original Equipment
tments.
- Passenger and P-Metric Light Truck tires are not covered for mileage
when used on commercial vehicles or in commercial applications.
- Mileage warranty does not apply to Euro-metric tires purchased before
July 1, 2011.
- For vehicles equipped with staggered size tments (different tire sizes
front and rear), the mileage warranty for the rear tires will be 50% of the
stated mileage warranty for that line.
- Run Flat tires will have a mileage warranty of 50% of the stated
mileage warranty for that line, not to exceed 30,000 miles, whichever
is lower.
Scorpion Verde All Season Mileage Warranty
- All Scorpion Verde All Season tires produced in the year 2013 will be
eligible for 50,000 mile limited tread wear warranty for H and V rated, and
60,000 mile limited tread wear for T rated.
- All Scorpion Verde All Season tires produced after the year 2013 are not
eligible for mileage warranty coverage.
Road Hazard Policy for Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows lim-
ited low-ination operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
Pirelli does not recommend the repair of run at tires and as a result,
Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli produced tires that are
manufactured with run at technology.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or
materials anomalies or road hazard injury during the initial warranty
period, which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of
the vehicle or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required)
or within the rst 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs
rst, the tire will be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no
charge for the tire to the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a
Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials
anomalies or road hazard injury, the owner must pay the cost of a compara-
ble new Pirelli brand or PTNA private brand replacement tire on a pro-rata
basis. The authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying
the percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer
selling price. The owner must pay for any associated service charges,
including mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road Hazard Policy is not a
warranty. PTNA does not warranty that a Pirelli tire will not fail due to road
hazard and does not authorize any person, including authorized Pirelli
dealers, to make such a warranty.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specic legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.

TIRE CARE AND SERVICE
1. Tire Sidewall Markings
Speed Symbol: an alphabetic code indicating the maximum speed at
which the tire can carry a load corresponding to its Load Index under
specied service conditions.
* For tires having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph, a “ZR”
may appear in the size designation; above 186 mph, a “ZR” must
appear in the size designation, including a “Y” speed symbol in brackets.
Other Markings:
P - As part of the tire size designation (e.g., P205/65R15), is used to
indicate tires intended for service on passenger cars.
LT - As part of the tire size designation (e.g. LT235/75R15), is used to
indicate the tires are intended for service on light truck vehicles.
M&S - Letters used to indicate a tire suitable for Mud and Snow and/or
All Season usage.
XL - As part of the size designation (e.g. P235/75R16 XL), is used to
indicate the tire can carry more load as the maximum ination pressure
and load are greater than a standard load version. (Also could be called
REINFORCED).
2. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire ination pressures for your vehicle can be found
either on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s manual.
Correct pressures are related to load, speed and vehicle handling and
are vital for even braking, maximum traction and good tire life. Under
no circumstances should your tire’s cold ination pressure be less than
that indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner’s
manual or higher than the maximum cold ination pressure molded onto
the tire’s sidewall.
Under ination causes excessive exing, deterioration of the tire and
rapid wear of the tread edges. Over ination results in an uncomfortable
ride, a reduced area of tire contact with the road surface (i.e., smaller tire
footprint), higher susceptibility to impact damage and rapid wear on the
tread center.
WARNING: Driving on tires with improper ination pressure is
dangerous. These situations can cause a tire failure, including tread/
belt separation, even at a later date, which could lead to an accident
and serious personal injury or death.
Ination pressure must be checked at least once a month and should
be checked only when the tire is cold or before it has been driven.
Driving even a short distance (1 mile or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to
heat up and the air pressure to increase approximately 4 psi. In case it is
necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have been driven, the air
pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than the
recommended cold ination pressure.
For Example Only:
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 psi
Recommended Cold Ination Pressure: 26 psi
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 psi + 4 psi = 30 psi
Therefore: Add 3 psi
Tire Size: A combination of alphabetic and numeric characters that
indicate the nominal dimensions of a tire:
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construc-
tion designed to stop the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an
object. Providing the puncture does not compromise the structural
integrity of the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible air leakage
in the event of a carcass puncture. The “Seal Inside ” technology is not
designed or intended to be a permanent repair, and is only meant to allow the
consumer to go to a Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine if repair
or replacement is needed. Visit www.us.pirelli.com for more information.
