Tires - PAX Tire System Repair Information

Repairing PAX System Tires

All '06 RLs with the Technical Package come with the Michelin PAX system. This system includes special tires and wheels with support rings and tire pressure sensors.





The PAX system lets you drive up to 125 miles at speeds up to 50 mph with one or more of the tires low or flat. If you run a tire beyond that limit, you risk serious damage to the tire. The 125-mile limit gives you ample range to get to an Acura dealer for service.

If a vehicle owner gets a flat tire, he or she needs to find the nearest Acura dealer. All Acura dealers stock PAX tire/wheel assemblies, but don't have the special equipment to do actual tire repair. If an Acura dealer isn't easily accessible, (it's after hours, it's a weekend or a holiday, the vehicle owner is more than 125 miles away), the vehicle owner calls the Michelin PAX help hotline at 877-PAXTIRE (877-729-8473). The hotline is set up to help vehicle owners on a 24/7 basis. The hotline will find the vehicle owner a PAX-certified Michelin store. The techs at these stores have the training and special equipment needed to service the PAX system and replace PAX system components.

The PAX tire/wheel assembly is covered 100% by a road hazard warranty for the first 2 years or 50% of the tread life. For warranty and road hazard info, visit The Tire Rack website at www.acura fires. corn. Your parts department should have the user name and password.
