TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or repair.
Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
•Toyo brand tires are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage,
underinflation/overloading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To obtain
the highest possible performance, tires must be maintained properly.
•Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your
vehicle.
Inflation pressure can decrease by 1 psi for every 10°F temperature drop
Important factors in tire care are:
• Proper inflation pressure
• Proper vehicle loading
• Proper vehicle maintenance
• Regular inspection
• Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEMS (TPMS)
Even if your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system, you should check your tire pres-
sure at least once per month when the tires are cold
(for example, after being parked overnight). Tire pres-
sure warning systems are not a substitute for regular
tire pressure maintenance.
WARNING!
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, read the vehicle Owner ’s
Manual regarding its operation. Some TPMS systems do not alert you
until the tires are significantly underinflated, which could result in
permanent tire damage and possible sudden tire failure. In the event
that your TPMS malfunction indicator lamp is displayed, you should
immediately pull over to a safe parking area and check your tires.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED TIRES
•If your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage could
result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Tire failure may even occur miles after the initial impact. Impact damage
from such hazards may not be visible on the outside of the tire. Have
your Toyo Tires dealer dismount the tire and inspect it for damage. A tire
may not have visible signs of damage on the tire surface or the interior.
•If the impact was sufficient to bend the wheel flange, internal tire
damage may have occurred, compromising the safety and integrity of
the tire. Such impact damage may result in a sudden tire failure many
weeks or months later. Tire replacement is highly recommended as a
safety precaution.
• Indications of impact damage include, but are not limited to, a bubble
or a blister on the outside of the tire.
• Have your dealer inspect your tires if you see anything unusual or if
cuts, cracks, splitting, or bruises in the tread and sidewall areas are
visible. Bumps or bulges may indicate a serious and dangerous
separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected by a qualified
tire service person. It may be necessary to have the tire removed from
the wheel for a complete inspection.

4. A tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km) can be expected dependingon road conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life,
the spare should be returned to the trunk as soon as the standard tire
can be repaired or replaced.
5. Because the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.
6. Do not use snow chains on your YOKOHAMA high pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7. When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare tire.
8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60 psi (4.2 kg/cm2) even when not in use. Do not inflate over 60 psi.
9. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be
used on the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire rim on which the
YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was originally installed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
All tires require owner maintenance regardless of how well a tire is
constructed. Operational damages such as punctures, impact damage, cuts,
incorrect inflation, etc., may cause tire failure and subsequent personal
injury and/or property damage. Simple operational and maintenance
practices, as listed below, will reduce the chances of tire problems.
Tire Inspection
Visually inspect your tires frequently for any tire damage such as scrapes,
bulges, cuts, nails, irregular wear, etc. resulting from operation. This must
be done immediately after any known or suspected contact with an object
in the road, a pothole, road irregularity or after severe braking. Refer
these conditions to a reputable tire service center for repair or replace-
ment. Never drive on a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
placard, tire information label or in the owners manual. Be aware of the
load carrying limits molded into the tire’s sidewall and do not exceed
those limits. Maximum load can only be carried at the maximum cold
inflation pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.

•Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35 mph if vehicle
becomes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a vehicle.
Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode and may
cause property damage and/or personal injury.
YOKOHAMA TIRES —LIMITED WARRANTY
SpeedLimits
Regardless
of
the
speed
capability
of
your
tires,
never
exceed
lawful

speeds
or
speeds
dictated
by
driving
conditions.
Hazards
Objects
in
the
road
that
could
damage
your
tires
should
be
safely

avoided.
These
objects
include:
potholes,
glass,
metal,
rocks,
wood
debris

and
the
like.
Unavoidable
contact
should
prompt
a
thorough
tire
inspec-
tion.
Air Pressure
Air
pressure
maintenance
is
critical
to
tire
service
life.
Ti re
pressures
must

be
checked
frequently
when
tires
are
cold
(before
operation,
cool
to
the

touch)
and
no
less
than
once
per
month
and
before
extended
operation.

Use
a
tire
gauge
to
check
pressure
and
maintain
it
per
the
vehicle

manufacturer ’s
recommendations
(on
vehicle
placard
or
in
owner
’s

manual).
Do
not
reduce
pressure
when
tire
is
hot
and
do
not
inflate
a
cold

tire
higher
than
limits
molded
on
the
tire’s
sidewall.
Do
not
overlook

spare
tire
inflation
pressure.
TireTread
Ti re s
must
be
replaced
when
the
depth
of
the
tread
reaches
2/32
inch

(1.6
mm).
YOKOHAMA
tires
are
manufactured
with
tread
wear
indica-
tors
molded
into
the
tire
grooves
which
indicate
tread
wearout.
As
tires

wear
down
to
2/32
inch
(1.6
mm),
and
tread
depth
is
reduced,
tire

traction
is
reduced
during
rainfall
and

road
conditions.
Visual

tire
inspection
therefore
becomes
more
crucial
as
the
tires
wear
out.
HardBraking
Yo u
must
inspect
your
tires
after
any
hard
braking
situations
or
after
tires

have
slid
on
the
pavement.
This
can
cause
a
flat
spot
or
other
damage
to

the
tread
of
the
tire.
