TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(5) Check infl ation pressure before use. Failure to have
proper infl ation pressure when using your spare tire
can result in serious personal injury or death. Maintain
infl ation pressure of 35 psi for the temporary full size
spare and 60 psi for the “T” Type, high pressure,
temporary spare tire. When infl ating 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 specifi cally designed for use with the
temporary use tire or placing another 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 “temporary
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 pressure spare tire wheel.
(8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than one
temporary spare in use (this does not apply 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 ob-
stacles and other road hazards. Check your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for other special clearance precau-
tions 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 Information section of this
booklet.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY(1) Mileage is not warranted.
(2) Damage due to road hazards, whether repairable or
not (such as cut, snag, bruise, impact break, bulge,
puncture, improper use of tire chains, stone drill, chip,
scale) . These types of damages or air loss always
require tire removal and inspection by a qualifi ed tire
professional.
(3) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure
to rotate the tires at recommended intervals or from
vehicle misalignment.
(4) Damage resulting from improper repair materials or
procedures such as rope type plugs. Toyo does not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair
is entirely the responsibility of the repairer and should
be made in accordance with procedures as specifi ed
by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) .
(5) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of
the tire, incorrect wheel size, water or other material
trapped inside the tire during mounting or failure to
balance the tires.
(6) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect infl ation,
overloading, fi re, theft, defective mechanical condi-
tions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or collision,
misuse, misapplication, negligence, willful damage or
abuse, vandalism, tire alteration, tire spinning, racing
or competition purposes.
(7) Damage, corrosion or rubber deterioration due to
the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers,
balancing substances, or fl ammable gases.
(8) Uniformity problems such as ride, balance and vibra-
tion complaints after the fi rst 25% of tread wear.

HAZARDSObjects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,
wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should
prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can damage
or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle experiences
any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or
you suspect that possible damage to the tires or vehicle
has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR BRAKES!
Rather reduce your speed and drive with caution until you
can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If
the tire is underinfl ated or damaged, defl ate, remove the
tire and rim assembly and replace it with your spare. If you
cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRESDo not attempt to repair, mount or demount a
tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and
must be done by professionally trained persons using
proper tools and procedures as specifi ed by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) . Follow these
mounting recommendations. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are
in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels
may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free
from foreign materials. Have your dealer check the
wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires
and rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched
tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the
road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim,
do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by being
dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires
must be mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless
tires, i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This
will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against
leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the
tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch
(6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following the
Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passenger and
Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufacturer of
your tires for its position and assistance as to the acceptable
location for a proper repair and the repair of speed rated
tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may cause further
damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and
the plug may fail. Do not exceed posted speed limits on
any repaired tire. Certain tire manufacturers speed ratings
are voided if the tire is repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred. Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4 inch
(6mm) , the tire must be replaced. If any tire has sustained a
puncture, have the tire inspected internally by a tire dealer
for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and infl ation procedures can cause an
explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained
persons should perform these tasks. Contact your tire store
or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance,
introduce a fl ammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your
tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are
wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect
excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment
or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of
your tires, but adversely affect the handling characteristics
of your vehicle which could be dangerous. If you detect
irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and
balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run
underinfl ated will show more wear on the shoulders than
in the center of the tread.

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size
of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold infl ation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage, which
can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable
due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition
of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from
warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty.HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is
designed for temporary use only and must not be used
continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire
through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,
metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-
speed-rated temporary spare tires.4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which
can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to
the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired
or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifi cally
designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold infl ation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2) even when not in
use.
8) The 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 high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary
spare tire fi tted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly
when driving on a high-pressure temporary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to
follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline
or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber.
(Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving
could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinfl ate/overinfl ate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your
Nissan dealership.
