flat tire DODGE DURANGO 2020 Vehicle Warranty

WARNING!(Continued)
•LT-metric tires carry their load at higher inflation pressures and do
not always have adequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of
the same size.
• After reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for
fitment on a Light Truck, the P-metric tire may not offer sufficient
load capacity to replace an LT-metric tire of the same size.
• Contact your Toyo Tires dealer or Toyo Tires Technical Service for
help determining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• Driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in
immediate tire failure, which can cause an accident and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV, pickup,
minivan), the load rating is reduced by dividing by 1.1. (This load
reduction factor is prescribed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and is based on the expectation that passenger-type tires may
experience more severe loading and usage conditions when applied to
light trucks.) For example, 305/50R20 has a maximum load capacity of
3086 lbs. If this tire is fitted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for
the tire is 2805 lbs. (3086 lbs. divided by 1.1).
Consult the load and inflation charts that can be found at
www.toyotires.com. Contact Toyo Tires Technical Service with any tire
replacement questions: 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696
(Eastern Time).

VEHICLES WITH MODIFIED SUSPENSION
WARNING!
ROLLOVER HAZARD
Large-diameter tires and modified suspensions that increase ground
clearance will alter vehicle handling.
•The vehicle may become more likely to roll over.
• Braking distances may increase.
• Slower speeds may be required to maintain control.
Drive with extreme caution until you become familiar with how
your vehicle handles. Always wear your seat belt.
Some modifications may be illegal in your state. Consult your
Owner ’s Manual, the instructions for this product, and state law
before modifying your vehicle.
USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire. It
shows the name of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type, the
maximum load and maximum inflation, and important safety warnings.
The sidewall markings on passenger and light truck tires are slightly
different.

their use and may vary due to driving habits, service practices,
differences in road characteristics, and climate.
• Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and
C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
m NOTICE!
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
• Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperatures
can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance that all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading either separately or in combination can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. This can cause an accident, which
could lead to serious personal injury or death.
• DOT Quality Grades - All passenger car tires must conform to federal
requirements in addition to these grades.

2. WHAT IS NOT WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for the following reasons:
•Road hazard injuries or damages, caused to the tire by obstacles and
debris such as cuts, punctures (whether repairable or not), snags,
bruises, tears, or impact breaks.
• Improper repairs or repairs that have failed.
• Improper inflation or other maintenance abuses.
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, or tire/wheel imbalance.
• Mechanical irregularities in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment,
worn, or faulty parts.
• Accident, corrosion, vandalism, fire, or damage caused by nature.
• Tires used on vehicles in racing or special applications.
• Non-speed-rated temporary spare tires used over 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Tires
worn
out
[2/32
inch
(1.6
mm)
or
less
of
tread
remaining].
• Tires that have been retreaded.
• Tires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally
installed.
• Improper
storage
3. WHAT IS WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for reasons other than stated above
will be replaced in accordance with this warranty.
If a warrantable condition is found, tires will be replaced as follows:
A) Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires (Other than Temporary Spare
Tires)
When a tire becomes unserviceable during the first 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) of
original usable tread depth or 12 months from date of vehicle purchase,
whichever comes first, it will be replaced with a comparable new
YOKOHAMA tire free of charge. During this period, tires will be
mounted and balanced without charge. Other service charges such as tire
rotation, alignment or applicable taxes are payable by the customer.

4. A tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km) can be expected dependingon road conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life,
the spare should be returned to the trunk as soon as the standard tire
can be repaired or replaced.
5. Because the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.
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 with the same type spare tire.
8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60 psi (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 any 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
constructed. 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 scrapes,
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 replace-
ment. Never drive on a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
placard, 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.

•Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35 mph if vehicle
becomes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a vehicle.
Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode and may
cause property damage and/or personal injury.
