TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Rims
For optimal performance, respect recommended rim widths.
Rolling direction
Some wet tyres have a directional tread.
Pressures:
Tyre pressures are always a function of three parameters: vehicle, tyre
type and stage conditions. Pressure needs to be optimised for each
individual case.
Do not hesitate to consult our Web site www.michelin.com or our
technical department + 33 (0) 4 73 30 44 73
Our competition tyres are not homologated for road use.
They must be used only on tracks or for racing according to our
recommendations.
In order to ensure the highest level of performance possible at all times,
Michelin is constantly developing its range and reserves the right to
introduce modifications in the course of the season.

Safety Guidelines
Michelin Group
1- Introduction
4- Tire assembly and disassembly
We recommend that you follow the safety and use guidelines
provided below.
These guidelines apply upon satisfaction of any more
stringent regulatory requirements, developed or
prescribed by competition, raid or circuit organizers with
respect to tires.
Non-compliance with these guidelines or operating
procedures can lead to improper equipment or mounting
and cause premature tire wear and tear.
The use of circuits with high banking in the turns imposes
specific tires and/or operating conditions.
Prior to any use, consult the terms of use at
www.michelin.com or contact Circuit Michelin technical
department phone: +33 (0) 4 73 30 44 73.
Tire assembly, disassembly, topping and balancing must
be done on suitable good-condition equipment
entrusted with qualified and trained personnel that
would ensure, among other things:
compliance with the manufacturer and legal rules in
the selection of tires.
Preliminary examination of the outside and inside aspect
of the tire by the installer.
Compliance with tire assembly, disassembly, balancing
and toping procedures.
Proper positioning of the tire on the vehicle (left, right,
front, rear).
Proper working pressure.
Measuring equipment such as pressure gauges,
dynamometric keys must be standardized and
inspected at least once a year by a certified body or,
failing that, by the supplier or manufacturer.
2- Recommendations
Before-use checklist
Tire selection must correspond to vehicle equipment,
as defined by the vehicle maker and manufacturer.
Make sure that all tires on the same axle are of the
same type (brand, commercial name or industrial reference,
dimensions, structure).
Prior to mounting make sure that:
the diameter of the rim corresponds exactly to the inside
diameter of the tire.
the width of the rim corresponds to that recommended
by the manufacturer or, failing that, to the standards
cited (ETRTO, TRA, JATMA, etc.)
the rim type (tubeless, tube type) corresponds to the
type of tire.
the rim is in good condition and does not present wearand-tear (cracks, deformation, etc.) and the valves are
in proper condition and if not, have them replaced.
the tires have not been repaired and the valves are in
proper condition and if not, have them replaced
Assembly Disasse mbly
Make sure that all assembly equipment is suitable for
the type of assembly. For how to use this equipment,
refer to the manufacturers user guide. Comply with
the direction of assembly for directional tires.
Lubricate the tire rim seats and beads with a suitable
product.
For tube type assemblies (with an air tube), the dimension
of the air tube must correspond to that of the tire (section
and diameter) and the rim must be in a condition that
can accept the air tube without damaging it.
Top ping
Important note: only use topping installations intended
for that purpose. Under no circumstances can the operator
remain in the immediate proximity of a tire assembly.
Therefore, make sure that the compressed air hose
attached to the valve is equipped with a safety clip

pressure, use a safety cage during tire topping.
Replace the inside of the valve and adjust it to working
pressure. Replace the cap to ensure complete sealing.
Balancing
Balancing the four tires is recommended for use on
a circuit.
The balancing machines must be standardized in
accordance with manufacturers recommendations.
Specific attention must be given to the devices (cone
/ screw board) used for centering the assembly on the
machine.
7 - Tire aging
Tires age even when not used or if they are only used
occasionally; excessive aging of tires may lead to loss
of grip.
Remove from usage tires presenting clear signs of aging
or fatigue (cracking of the rubber of the outer tread,
