TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32 of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.

TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRY-
ING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A
LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modifications which may be
recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air
pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should also
be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road. Tires showing
bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must be dismounted and
examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and replaced if necessary.
Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves, which show up
when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining. At this point, your tires must
be replaced because they are illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but
rather exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but are
not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs, misalignment,
under inflated operation, over inflated operation, excessive heat caused
by over deflected operation, excessive exposure to ozone, improper
storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only have an impact on a few
of these exposures. Tire companies add antiozinants and anti-oxidants
(anti-degradation compounds) to minimize degradation. Pirelli believes
that since there is no way to accurately predict what outside forces a tire
will be exposed to there is no scientifically supportable age limit that can
be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls
and rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of antioxi-
dants, which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The removal of
anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to sidewall cracking.
Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
WARNING!
Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly fail,
which can lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.

The original usable tread is determined by measuring the depth on the
tread of an identical model of a new Toyo brand tire to the top of the
treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will vary
by tire model).
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
[(Original usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable tread)] x (Actual current
dealer selling price)].
A comparable Toyo brand tire is the same tire, or a tire of the same basic
construction and quality, as the original tire, as determined by Toyo Tires.

It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire pressure gauge,
which can be purchased at your tire dealer or auto supply store.
Under inflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
month, including for the spare tire, to make sure it’s up to specification.
Check it again before long trips or when carrying extra weight.
Look for the manufacturer ’s recommended inflation pressure listed on
the Tire Information Placard usually located on your vehicle’s door edge,
door post, glove box, or inside the trunk lid.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE TIRE INFLATION
•If you must inflate your tires when they are hot, add 4 pounds per
square inch (4 psi) (28 kPa) above the recommended inflation pressure
specification. Recheck the inflation pressure when the tires are cold
and adjust to the recommended inflation pressure shown on the
vehicle’s Tire Information Placard.
• Never release air or nitrogen from a hot tire in order to reach the
recommended cold tire pressure. Normal driving causes tires to run
hotter and inflation pressure to increase. If you release pressure when
your tires are hot, you may dangerously underinflate your tires. If your
tires lose more than 1 pound per square inch (1 psi) per month, the tire,
the valve, or the wheel may be damaged. Consult your authorized
Toyo Tires dealer for an inspection.
• Over-inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact
damage.
• Over-inflation or underinflation may adversely affect vehicle
handling.
• Remember to check your spare tire. Consult your vehicle Owner ’s
Manual for the correct inflation pressure and use of a “temporary use”
spare tire. The inflation pressure specified for a spare tire is typically
different from that specified for your regular tires.
• Use valve caps to keep valve cores clean and clear of debris and to help
guard against air leakage.
WARNING!
Never inflate a tire unless it is secured to the vehicle or a tire
mounting machine. Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If the
tire bursts, it could be propelled into the air with explosive force
and cause serious personal injury or death.

228

WARNING!(Continued)
•Exceeding the maximum bead seating pressure of 40 psi. Be
absolutely certain beads are fully seated before adjusting the
inflation pressure to the level recommended for vehicle operation.
Never put flammable substances in the tire/wheel assemblies at any
time. Never put any flammable substance into a tire/wheel assembly
and attempt to ignite it in order to seat the beads.
TIRE MIXING
CAUTION!
Driving your vehicle with an improper mix of tire sizes,
constructions, and speed ratings can be dangerous. Your car ’s
handling characteristics can be adversely affected. You could have
an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death. Consult
your vehicle Owner ’s Manual or an authorized Toyo Tires dealer for
proper tire replacement.
• Toyo Tires recommends that all four tires be of the same size, speed
rating, and construction (radial or non-radial). In some cases the
vehicle manufacturer may require different sized tires for the front or
rear axles. Never mix P-metric or European Metric passenger tires with
LT-metric tires on the same vehicle.
• Match tire size designations in pairs on an axle, except during the
temporary use of a spare tire.
• If two radial tires and two non-radial tires are used on a vehicle, put
the radials on the rear axle. If radial and non-radial tires are used on a
vehicle equipped with dual rear tires, the radial tires may be used on
either axle.
SPEED-RATED TIRE
• If the vehicle Tire Information Placard and/or the vehicle Owner ’s
Manual specifies speed-rated tires, the replacement tires must have the
same or higher speed rating to maintain vehicle speed capability.
• If a replacement tire has a lower speed capability than that specified by
the vehicle manufacturer, the vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that

WARNING!(Continued)
Pull over to a safe area as soon as possible and inspect the tires for
signs of bulges, blisters, or separations. Seek roadside assistance or
change the damaged tire with your spare tire.
If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following
information should be helpful:
• When the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a
vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
• Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane
position.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradually
decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
damaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your spare
tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
professional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift by a tire
dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear, ask the
service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel alignment or
other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
vehicle Owner ’s Manual for rotation advice.
