WHO IS COVERED
The owner of a Michelin Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in nor-
mal service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recom-
mendations and safety warnings contained in the Own-
er’s Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Information
Section of this booklet, are covered by this limited
warranty against defects in workmanship and material
for the life of the original usable tread, or 6 years from
the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At that
time, all warranties, express or implied, are terminated.
The usable tread is the original tread down to the level of
the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm)
of tread remaining. Date of purchase is documented by
new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof
of purchase, coverage will be based on date of manu-
facture. Replacement will be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions described underWhat Mi-
chelin Will Do.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, im-
proper maintenance, racing, or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Ozone or weather cracking;Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other
than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. waterbase
sealers or balancing substances) .
WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin tire, free of charge, when
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread
is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase.
Mounting and balancing of tires is included. The cost of
any other service charges or applicable taxes are pay-
able by the user.When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new Michelin passenger or light truck replacement tire
on a pro-rata basis. The dealer shall determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of the original
usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the current
Michelin Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is
based on a predetermined price intended to fairly rep-
resent the actual selling price of the tire. The cost of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this limited
warranty, the consumer must present the tire to an
authorized Michelin Dealer. To locate an Authorized Tire
Dealer, check the yellow pages under “Tire Dealers -
Retail.”
The vehicle on which the tire was used should be
available for inspection.
It is essential that you read and understand the safety
and maintenance recommendations (see Safety Main-
tenance Information) for your tires.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires, light truck tires and “T” Type temporary
spare tires mounted on vehicles as original equipment
for adjustable conditions as follows:
Important:In accordance with Federal Law, this war-
ranty has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.”
Nothing in this limited warranty is intended to be a
representation that tire failures cannot occur:
WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTY
Toyo brand passenger tires, light truck tires and full size
spare tires are warranted for adjustable conditions for
the new, original usable tread until worn down to the
tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) or for 60 months from the date of purchase
(as verified by a copy of the original new vehicle pur-
chase invoice) , whichever comes first. In the event the
original new vehicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the
DOT serial number will be used to determine eligibility.
See “What Is Not Covered” listed below. Presence of a
manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment.(1) When 25% or less of the original usable tread
of a radial tire has been worn, the tire will be
replaced with a comparable new Toyo tire free
of charge, including mounting and balancing.
The original usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the tread wear indicators
(2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . Ad-
justments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing, are
only adjustable in the first 25% of usable tread
(a set of four tires will not be accepted for ride
disturbance) . Service charges or any applicable
taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 25% of the original usable
tread of a radial tire has been worn, the user
must pay for the cost of a comparable new
Toyo replacement tire based on the amount of
tread used. This is calculated by dividing the
number of 32nds of an inch used by the origi-
nal usable tread depth and multiplying by the
actual current dealer selling price. The original
usable tread is the original tread down to the
level of the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of
an inch of tread remaining) . Service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you.(3) The tires must be used in normal highway ser-
vice on the vehicle they were originally installed,
used in non-commercial service and in accor-
dance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
If an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type
temporary spare tire does not conform to this limited
warranty, it will be replaced with a comparable new Toyo
tire by an authorized Toyo dealer as follows:
(1) When 50% or less of the original usable tread
has been worn, the tire will be replaced with a
comparable new Toyo tire free of charge.
Mounting and balancing, service charges or
any applicable taxes are payable by you.
(2) When more than 50% of the original usable
tread has been worn, you must pay for the cost
of a comparable new Toyo replacement tire
based on the amount of tread used. Mounting
and balancing, service charges or any appli-
cable taxes are payable by you.

(3) Limited warranty duration is the life of the origi-
nal usable tread (down to 2/32nds of an inch of
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date
of purchase (as verified by a copy of the origi-
nal new vehicle purchase invoice) , whichever
comes first. In the event the original new ve-
hicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the DOT
serial number will be used to determine
eligibility.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATION
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a
different size and construction from the other tires on
your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. FAILURE TO OBSERVE RECOMMENDED PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BE-
HAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for
temporary use only. It must not be used as a
standard tire continuously. The temporary
spare tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as it is convenient to have your standard
tire repaired or replaced.
(2) “T” Type temporary spare tires should NOT BE
used for speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
(3) NEVER use chains on “T” Type temporary
spare tires because it could cause damage to
your vehicle.(4) When you replace the temporary spare tire,
replace it only with the same type of tire.
(5) Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to
have proper inflation pressure when using your
spare tire can result in serious personal injury
or death. Maintain inflation pressure of 35 psi
for the temporary full size spare and 60 psi for
the “T” Type, high pressure, temporary spare
tire. When inflating or adding air to a “T” Type
temporary spare tire, be very careful since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure much
more rapidly than a normal full size tire.
(6) Placing (mounting) your temporary use tire on
a wheel which is not specifically designed for
use with the temporary use tire or placing an-
other type tire on your temporary use wheel
can be dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling
characteristics can be seriously affected. You
could have an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for proper use of your “tem-
porary use” spare tire.
(7) The “T” Type high pressure temporary spare
tire should not be used with any other wheel
nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used on the high pres-
sure spare tire wheel.(8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than
one temporary spare in use (this does not ap-
ply to a full size spare) and only at limited
speeds and distances as indicated on the
sidewall of the tire.
(9) The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower
ground clearance when used. Avoid driving
over large obstacles and other road hazards.
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for other
special clearance precautions when using the
“T” Type temporary spare tire provided in your
vehicle.
(10) Follow the maintenance recommendations and
safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.

CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:
(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every
3,500 miles or less for high performance (low
profile) tires or every 7,500 miles or less for
standard passenger and light truck tires. More
frequent rotation may be necessary if, upon
inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front
and rear tire tread depth differential should be
kept to 2/32nds of an inch or less. Keep a
record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recom-
mended air pressure in the tires according to
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check inflation pressures on all your tires, in-
cluding the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most
important thing you can do to ensure optimum
tread life and tire durability. To avoid injury,
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run se-
verely underinflated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s
alignment in accordance with vehicle manu-
facturer’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be
exceeded.(5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not
be exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and
safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
