*For tires having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph, a “ZR” may appear in the size designation;
ab
ove 186 mph, a “ZR” must appear in the size designation, including a ”Y” speed symbol in brackets.
Other Markings:
P - As part of the tire size designation (e.g., P205/65R15), is used to indicate the tires
i
ntended for service on passenger cars.
LT - As part of the tire size designation (e.g. LT235/75R15), is used to indicate the tires
a
re intended for service on light truck vehicles.
M&S - Letters used to indicate a tire suitable for Mud and Snow and/or All Season usage.
X
L - As part of the size designation (e.g. P235/75R16 XL), is used to indicate the tire can
c
arry more load as the maximum inflation pressure and load are greater than a standard
load version. (Also could be called REINFORCED).
2. Tire Categories
ALL SEASON TIRES (ALL WEATHER TIRES): Tires that are designed to perform in a variety
of road conditions in all seasons of the year. An all season tire will carry “M+S”, “M&S”,
or “M/S” designation on the sidewall. All Season tires may carry a Limited Treadwear
Warranty depending on line.
SUMMER TIRES (MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, HIGH PERFORMANCE, ULTRA HIGH
P E

RFORMANCE): Summer Performance tires offer superior handling, grip and cornering
ability compared to standard tires. They are rated for operation at higher speeds.
Maximum Performance, High Performance and Ultra High Performance categories each
have different performance characteristics, UTQG ratings and rate of wear depending on
line. Some lines may carry a limited treadwear warranty.
WINTER TIRES (SNOW TIRES): A winter tire is a tire with a tread design and compound
m a

de specifically for snowy and icy conditions and is identified by M&S, M+S or M/S
markings on the sidewalls. Tires designed for use in severe snow conditions are further Q

Check the cold inflation pressure on the tires, at least by the next day. Never reduce or
“bleed” pressure from hot tires since your tires will then be underinflated when they cool
down. Always use a reliable pressure gauge.
4. Ultra High Performance (UHP) Summer Tires
Rubber compounds formulated for ultra high performance summer tires can lose
flexibility and may develop random surface cracks at cold temperatures. Therefore extra
care should be used in handling tires in this condition. These compounds are optimized
for maximum dry and wet performance in warm conditions. Special tread compounds in
these tires will have decreased performance, such as lateral and braking traction, at
temperatures below 7° C or when driving on snow or ice. Therefore, it is recommended
to install winter tires in these conditions.
5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction and compounds to
achieve their distinctive performance in dry conditions. As a result of that, their
performance in cold temperatures, heavy rain or standing water will be decreased. Use
extreme caution and drive slowly on wet roads.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road tires, resulting in
re

duced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions. However, for winter
use, you may wish to install winter tires. During winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends
the fitment of four winter tires. Please check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning
winter tire size recommendation. If the winter tires have a lower speed rating than the
original equipment tires, vehicle handling may be affected, and the vehicle maximum
speed must be reduced to the winter tire speed rating.
Pirelli requires
that studded tires be installed on all four positions. Installing studded
tires only on the drive positions of any vehicle, including a front wheel drive vehicle, may
cause adverse handling characteristics.
7. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specific safety and operating
information relating to the vehicle. Damaged Run Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have
experienced a loss of pressure should immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire
of identical size and Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specifications of the vehicles on which
t h

ey are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires should only be mounted on vehicles
specifically manufactured to accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire Pressure Monitoring
S y

stem (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the TPMS should be carried out by a specialized
d e

aler.

8. Tire Replacement
The tires fitted to your vehicle as original equipment were tested and approved by the
vehicle manufacturer and the tire manufacturer and take into account all aspects of the
vehicle’s operation. Changes in the tire size, type or construction should not be made
without seeking advice from the vehicle or tire manufacturer or an authorized Pirelli
dealer since unapproved tires on your vehicle could adversely affect steering, handling,
braking and traction. The tire information (tire size, load index and speed symbol) as
found on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual should always be followed when
replacing tires.
It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four with the same
t r

ead type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire brands. It is necessary to follow
this procedure because different tire constructions have different handling
characteristics. Tires on the same axle must be the same manufacturer, brand, tire size,
load index, speed rating and Pirelli part number.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted (four tires of the
sa
me tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This applies to all vehicles regardless of
their drive axle. (Front or Rear Drive).
On all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles the tires must always be replaced in sets
o f

four.
When replacing tires on light truck vehicles, you should always follow the vehicle
m a

nufacturer’s recommendations. Passenger and light truck tires are not
interchangeable, due to differences in their pressures and load carrying capacity.
P-Metric and Euro-metric Interchangeability: Euro-metric (Example: 225/45R17) tires
h a

ve a load index which is equal to or greater than that of the same size P-metric
(Example: P225/45R17) tire. Therefore, they have the same or higher load carrying
capacity at the maximum rated inflation pressure. Always check with your tire dealer or
Pirelli Tire Consumer Affairs to be sure of the exact interchangeability to maintain proper
vehicle dynamics.
Please be aware that it is important that, before fitting the suggested tires, the fitment is
a l

lowed by the technical specifications of the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer and the
relevant homologations. Pirelli Tire does not express any view as to the compatibility of
the wheel/tire combination with the technical specifications for the chassis and vehicle.
TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY,
R E

PLACEMENT 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
s u

spension 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

The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated tire on the car.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, do not guess what tire is right for your vehicle. First look
at the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire Information Placard. They tell you the size of
the tires that were on the vehicle as original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and load capacity (by
in

flation) that is capable of supporting the same load as the vehicle’s Original Equipment
(OE) installed tires. Avoid installing used tires on a vehicle. There is no way to determine
what road hazards or abuse a previously owned tire may have incurred.
The following procedures concerning replacement tires must be followed:
• C onfirm that the load-carrying capacity is greater than or equal to the loadcarying
c
apacity of the OE tire size at the pressure indicated on the vehicle Tire Information
Placard.
• C arefully note any differences between recommendations for front and rear axle posi -
t
ions regarding the tire size and/or inflation pressure.
• T he speed rating must be equal to or greater than what is specified by the vehicle
m
anufacturer if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
• T ires should be mounted on approved wheel widths. If changing tire sizes, check to
m
ake sure the wheel has adequate load and inflation pressure capacity.
• B ody and chassis clearance must be checked on the vehicle’s front and rear axles.
CAUTION!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded, damaged, abused, or
otherwise altered from its original condition. Thereafter, it should be treated as a
non-speed-rated tire. In addition, retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not
warranted by Toyo Tires® for any reason. Toyo Tires® speed ratings are voided for
retreaded tires.
WARNING!


• Failure to install tires with adequate load capacity will result in tire fatigue and
sudden tire failure. This could lead to loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in
personal injury or death.
• C ertain vehicle performance parameters, including ride comfort and handling, may
b
e affected by substitute tire sizes. In some cases, particularly for SUVs and light
trucks, a failure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for tire
replacement could adversely affect the safe handling of the vehicle, possibly
resulting in a loss of vehicle control leading to personal injury or death.

(Continued)
In addition to the above, light truck tire replacements should take into consideration the
following:
• P roper spacing between dual tires is necessary for optimum tire performance. If
c
hains are used, particular care must be taken to assure adequate clearance between
loaded tires to avoid damage from the chains. The allowable outside diameter differ -
ence between a tire and its dual mate is 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) for light truck tires.
CONSIDERATIONS IN PLUS SIZING
Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement tire
r e

commendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise
against the application of replacement tires that are not of the original size or type.
TIRE AND WHEEL MATCHING AND MOUNTING
WARNING!


Any attempt to mount a tire on a wheel with a different diameter will result in an
explosion of the tire/wheel assembly that could cause severe personal injury or death.
Prior to mounting any tire, always check the wheel identification stamp to verify the
c o

rrect wheel diameter. Always check the tire size molded onto the sidewall.
Never exceed 40 psi when seating the tire beads onto the wheel.
Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is especially important
wh
en the service operator inflates the tire. If the tire has been improperly mounted, it
could burst with explosive force causing serious personal injury or death.
A new valve stem must be installed on the wheel each time a worn out passenger or
l i

ght truck tire is replaced.
Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.
Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures could result in a tire
ex
plosion, causing serious personal injury or death. This is a job for your authorized
Toyo Tires® dealer or other qualified tire service location only.
Serious personal injury or death can result from:
• F ailure to select the proper tire and wheel. The tire must match the width and diam -
e
ter requirements of the wheel. When mounting truck type radial tires use only
w h

eels approved for radial tires.
• F ailure to inspect both the tire and wheel. The wheel must be free of cracks, dents,
c
hips, and rust. The tire must be free of bead damage, cuts, and punctures.
• F ailure to follow proper procedures. For proper mounting procedures, consult the US
T
ire Manufacturers Association’s publication “Care and Service of Automobile and
Light Truck Tires” (ref.: https://www.ustires.org).

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY
176
TIRE MIXING
• 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.
• M atch tire size designations in pairs on an axle, except during the temporary use of a
s
pare tire.
• I f two radial tires and two non-radial tires are used on a vehicle, put the radials on the
r
ear 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.
• I f a replacement tire has a lower speed capability than that specified by the vehicle
m
anufacturer, the vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tire.
Vehicle handling could also be affected. Consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire
manufacturer for recommendations.
• I f tires with different speed ratings are used, it is recommended that the lower speed-
r
ated tires always be placed on the front axle. This is to prevent a potential oversteer
condition.
• E
xceeding the maximum bead seating pressure of 40 psi. Be absolutely certain
b
eads are fully seated before adjusting the inflation pressure to the level recom -
mended for vehicle operation.
Never put flammable substances in the tire/wheel assemblies at any time. Never put
a n

y flammable substance into a tire/wheel assembly and attempt to ignite it in order
to seat the beads.
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.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) VEHICLES
If no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle Owner’s Manual, follow these
guidelines:
• D o not mix tire sizes. All four tires must be marked with the same tire size, unless
o
therwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This also applies to winter/snow
tires.
• D o not mix tread pattern types such as all-terrain and all- season.
STUDLESS WINTER/SNOW TIRES
• It is always preferable to apply winter/snow tires to all wheel positions, including dual
tires, to maintain vehicle mobility and control.
• I f winter/snow tires are applied to the f
ront axle of any vehicle, winter/snow tires must
also be installed on the
rear axle. DO NOT apply winter/snow tires only to the front
axle. This applies to all passenger and light truck vehicles, including front-wheel- drive,
4WD, and AWD vehicles.
• If winter/snow tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is recommended
(but not required) that they also be installed on the
front axle.
STUDDED WINTER/SNOW TIRES
• Studded winter/snow tires have higher traction qualities under most winter weather conditions.
• I f studded winter/snow tires are installed on the f
ront axle of any vehicle, studded
winter/snow tires must also be installed on the
rear axle. DO NOT apply studded
winter/snow tires only to the front axle.
• If studded winter/snow tires are installed on the rear axle of any vehicle, it is strongly
recommended that they should also be installed on the
front axle. Only if studded
winter/snow tires are installed on all wheel positions of a vehicle will optimum
handling characteristics be achieved.
WARNING!


Unless winter/snow tires on the rear axle have comparable traction qualities to the
tires on the front axle, the vehicle may experience adverse handling characteristics.
This may result in loss of vehicle control, which can lead to serious personal injury or
death.
WARNING!
Installing only two studded winter/snow tires on the front axle of any vehicle (including
front-wheel-drive vehicles) without studded winter/snow tires on the rear axle can
cause adverse vehicle handling characteristics. This can result in a loss of vehicle
control, which could cause serious personal injury or death.

REPLACING TWO TIRES
• When a pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and construction as those on the vehicle, the two newer tires must be installed on the rear axle and must
be of equal or higher speed rating than the front tires. Generally, new tires with deeper
tread will provide better grip and evacuate water more effectively, which is important
as a driver approaches hydroplaning situations. Placing greater traction on the rear
axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition and loss
of vehicle stability.
• W hen two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions, they are to be
k
ept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is recommended after installing two
new tires to the rear position, or if you discover significant tread depth differences
between the front and rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
• Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• I f single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the single new tire
b
e paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and both be placed on the rear axle.
Placing greater traction on the rear axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a
possible oversteer condition and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
• Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important considerations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires. You need to check how your tires are
wearing at least once a month.
• Y our vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing unevenly, such as when
t
he inside shoulder of the tire is wearing faster than the rest of the tread. This condi -
tion not only shortens the life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling character -
istics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular wear, have
y o

ur vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.
CAUTION!
In some cases, the vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against replacing
fewer than all four tires. Always check and follow the recommendations in the vehicle
Owner’s Manual. For 4WD and AWD vehicles, even small differences in outside
diameter may cause drivetrain damage or mechanical malfunction.

• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a damaged tire on your vehicle.
• S eek 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
M a

nual for rotation advice.
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size, construction, and speed
r a

ting may be used in a five-tire rotation pattern.
After rotation, check the inflation pressure of all the tires. The front and rear tire
p r

essures may vary according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
