TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This Limited Warranty does not cover the following categories of
cl
aims:
Rapid Treadwear: Original equipment tires are not guaranteed to last
a
specified number of miles.
Damage from road hazards (not limited to cuts, snags, bruises, impact
br
eaks, bulges, punctures, stone drills, chips, and scales), fire, theft, or
collision.
Conditions arising from improper tire/vehicle maintenance or use,
no
t limited to:
• Irregular or excessive treadwear due to: Incorrect inflation; over -
l
oading; vehicle misalignment; failure to rotate tires; and poor or
de
fective mechanical condition of brakes, shocks, and wheels; or
other factors attributable to the vehicle or wheel.
• Any tire which has been run with low air pressure or while flat.
•
Damage due to abuse; vandalism; tire alteration; tire spinning;
r
acing; or other competitive activities.
• Damage, corrosion, or deterioration from using oil-based chemicals,
w
ater-based sealers, balancing substances, or flammable gases.
• Damage from improper use of tire chains.
T

ires with the DOT identification number removed or rendered
il
legible.
Improper mounting, balancing or repair, not limited to:
• Improper tire mounting, or tire/wheel assembly imbalance.
•
Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incor -
r
ect wheel size, water or other material trapped inside the tire
du
ring mounting, or failure to keep the tires balanced.
• Damage resulting from improper repair materials or procedures.
F

ailure to meet conditions of this Limited Warranty, not limited to:
• Any tire that is not an Eligible Tire.
•
Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records are not avail -
a
ble or verifiable.
• Any tire not presented and available for Toyo Tires’ inspection.
•
Any tire worn beyond the treadwear indicators (less than 2/32” of
r
emaining tread).
• Uniformity issues after the first 25% of treadwear.

• Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn to
the built-in indicators at 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread groove depth,
th

e tire is worn out and must be replaced. Never drive on tires to the
point that the tire cord or the fabric is exposed.
• Inspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread or
f
lat spots in the tread may indicate alignment or other problems
with the tires or the vehicle. Consult an authorized Toyo Tires®
dealer.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED WHEELS
Periodically check to see if any of the following symptoms exist, in
w h

ich case the wheel must be replaced:
• If the flange is bent.
•
If welds or rivets are leaking.
•
If the stud holes are elongated and not round. (Improper lug nut
t
ightening could cause this.)
• If there are cracks in the wheel.
W

ORN OUT TIRES
Tires must be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm).
Tr

eadwear indicators on Toyo Tires® treads show the 2/32” depth
(1.6 mm). Most states require that tires be replaced when the tread
de

pth is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm). Tires may lose sufficient wet and
sn

ow traction before reaching 2/32” (1.6 mm) of wear. Many wet
we

ather accidents result from skidding on worn out tires.
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetrations. Consider
re
placing your tires earlier if you drive in snow or wet conditions.
WARNING!
Never drive on a tire if there is any evidence of damage. Driving
on
a damaged tire is dangerous. A damaged tire could suddenly
fail, which may result in loss of vehicle control and lead to serious
personal injury or death. Do not attempt to dismount, mount, or
repair a tire yourself. See your Toyo Tires dealer immediately if
you detect damage.

• When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions,
they are to be kept 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
s
uspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
s
ingle new tire be 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 consider -
a
tions for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
Yo
u need to check how your tires are wearing at least once a month.
• Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing
u
nevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing
faster than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens the
life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics of
your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular
wear, have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.

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
v
ibration, 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 posi -
t
ion.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradu -
a
lly decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
d
amaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your
s
pare tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
p
rofessional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all
ti
res 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
ve
hicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.

. WHAT IS WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for reasons other than stated
ab
ove 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
Sp
are 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
pu

rchase, 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.
When a tire has worn past the above specified period for free
re
placement, the customer must pay for the cost of a new comparable
YOKOHAMA passenger car or light truck tire on a pro-rated basis.
The dealer shall determine this cost by multiplying the percentage of
