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
w
ith the same type spare tire.
8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60
p
si (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
a
ny 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
co
nstructed. 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
sc
rapes, 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 replacement. Never drive on
a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
pl
acard, 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.
Speed Limits
Regardless of the speed capability of your tires, never exceed lawful
sp
eeds or speeds dictated by driving conditions.

Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely
av
oided. These objects include: potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood
debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough
tire inspection.
Air Pressure
Air pressure maintenance is critical to tire service life. Tire pressures
mu
st 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.
Tire Tread
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch
(1

.6 mm). YOKOHAMA tires are manufactured with tread wear
in

dicators 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,
ti

re traction is reduced during rainfall and winter road conditions.
Visual tire inspection therefore becomes more crucial as the tires wear
out.
Hard Braking
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking situations or after
ti
res have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot or other
damage to the tread of the tire.
Spinning
• Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35
mph if vehicle
be
comes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a
v
ehicle. Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode
and may cause property damage and/or personal injury.
