• 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.

Remember to follow your vehicle Owner’s Manual for tire rotation intervals. Your Limited
Warranty recommends Toyo Tires® brand tires to be rotated as follows:
• E very 3,500
miles or less for high performance (low profile) tires.
• E very 7,500
miles or less for standard passenger and light truck tires.
More frequent rotation or a thorough vehicle inspection may be necessary if, upon
i n
spection, irregular or erratic treadwear is beginning to appear.
It is important to remember the following:
• These tire rotation recommendations do not take into account different tire and c
onstruction types mixed on the vehicle.
• S ome tires cannot be rotated in the manner described. Such tires include unidirec -
t
ional tires. Unidirectional tread patterns must be rotated front-to-rear only so that the
d i
rection of revolution does not change.
• S ome vehicles are designed with different tire sizes on the front and rear axles.
N
ormally, such combinations will not allow rotation. Prior to rotating, consult the
vehicle Owner’s Manual.
• F or vehicles with dual rear wheels, see the vehicle Owner’s Manual for the vehicle
m
anufacturer’s procedures. If your vehicle Owner’s Manual is not available, please
contact the vehicle manufacturer.
• S ome vehicles are equipped with wheels that limit the choice of rotation pattern.
C
onsult the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
• D o not include temporary spare tires in the rotation pattern. However, if your spare tire
i
s the same size and type as a road tire (for LT tires of the same size, type, and load
rating), it should be included in the tire rotation process. The proper procedure is to
use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire rotation procedures, or if not avail -
able, to use the appropriate rotation pattern shown, inserting the spare in the right
r e
ar position. Place the tire that would have gone to the right rear in the spare tire
storage position as the new spare.
• I mportant! After rotation, adjust the pressure of the individual tires to the vehicle
m
anufacturer’s recommendation or the inflation pressure recommended by Toyo
Tires® for an optional fitment according to the tire’s new location on the vehicle.
• D o not mix speed-rated tires on the same axle. Higher speed-rated tires must remain
o
n the rear axle. Consult an authorized Toyo Tires® dealer.
TIRE SPEED RATING
All Toyo Tires® passenger, light truck, and truck tires have a maximum speed rating
based on size and type. Tires must never be operated in excess of their rated speed limit!
Consult your tire dealer or contact Toyo Tires® at 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or
1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time) if you are not sure about the maximum speed rating of
your tires.

Toyo Tires® does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful
manner. Obey all local speed limits.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven at the speed for which
th
e tire is rated. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests and relate to performance
on the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out,
damaged, or altered.
EXPLANATION OF TIRE SPEED SYMBOLS
A speed rating is designated by a letter that indicates the maximum speed capability of
a tire. The speed rating of a tire is based on standards for reaching and sustaining a
specified speed, and is determined via laboratory tests that simulate road performance
at various speeds.
Tires may be marked with one of these speed symbols: M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y,
o r
(Y) to identify the particular tire’s speed rating. Additionally, the letter Z may appear in
the size designation.
When purchasing or replacing speed-rated tires, make sure to:
• U se the ranking in the following chart to compare the speed symbols of all the tires.
•
Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, if any, concerning the use of
s
peed-rated tires.
To avoid reducing the speed capability of the vehicle, replace a speed-rated tire only with
a n
other tire having at least the same or higher speed rating. Remember, the “top speed”
of the “lowest rated” tire on the car cannot be exceeded without risk of tire failure.
WARNING!
No tire, regardless of its design or speed rating, has an unlimited capacity for speed.
Exceeding the tire’s speed capability could cause overheating and sudden tire failure,
possibly leading to loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
High-speed driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in immediate tire
failure, possibly leading to loss of vehicle control, which could cause an accident,
including serious personal injury or death.

The letter symbols and corresponding design speeds are:
* Any tire with a speed capability above 149 mph (240 km/h) can, at the tire manufacturer’s option, include
a
“Z” in the size designation (e.g., 245/40ZR18). If the load index and the speed symbol are not included,
the tire manufacturer must be consulted for the maximum speed capability (P245/40ZR18 speed capability
is greater than 149 mph [240 km/h]). If a service description is included with the size description, the speed
c a
pability is limited by the speed symbol in the service description (i.e., 235/45ZR17 97W = maximum
speed 168 mph [270 km/h]).
** Although no upper limit speed is specified, the indicated tires nonetheless have limited rated speed
c a
pability. Call 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time) for a referral for more
technical information.

TIRE SPINNING
TOWING OR USE OF SLIDE-IN TRUCK CAMPERS
If you are towing a trailer or using a slide-in truck camper, refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual.
WINTER (SNOW) TIRES
Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle handling. The use of
winter tires, studs, and chains, while improving traction performance in snow
a n
d ice, requires additional caution and care with regard to braking, cornering,
and speed. It is important to drive with care not only on snow and ice, but on
dry and wet roads as well.
• T raction is considerably reduced as snow tires approach 50% tread wear, and replace -
m
ent should be considered in order to maintain effectiveness in heavy snow condi-
tions.
• T ire speed rating – When lower-speed-rated winter tires replace higher-speed-rated
t
ouring and high performance all-season radial tires, do not exceed the lower-rated
speed.
• F ollow recommendations in the vehicle Owner’s Manual for winter tires, studs, and
c
hains.
• C onsult your tire dealer, the US Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) website
h
ttps://www.ustires.org/ , or your state’s Department of Transportation (DOT) for infor -
mation regarding regulatory and seasonal restrictions for stud usage.
• A lso see the “Tire Mixing” section in this manual for more details.
•
Toyo Tires® recommends that snow tires be installed in matched sets of four.
WARNING!
Spinning a tire to remove a vehicle stuck in mud, snow, or wet grass can be
dangerous. This could cause serious personal injury or death to a bystander or
passenger and extensive vehicle damage. A tire spinning at a speedometer reading
above 35
mph (55 km/h) can reach a speed capable of disintegrating a tire with
e x
plosive force within a matter of seconds. Under some conditions, a tire may be
spinning at twice the speed shown on the speedometer. Never spin a tire above a
speedometer reading of 35 mph (55 km/h). Never allow anyone to stand near or
d i
rectly behind the spinning tire. Do not spin if a drive wheel is off the ground.
WARNING!
Studded tires may require longer braking distances on dry or wet paved surfaces.
Failure to allow for adequate braking distance could result in serious personal injury or
death.

ADVERSE WEATHER DRIVING
Take special care when driving in adverse weather conditions.
• R ain and snow – Driving in rain or snow considerably reduces the traction between
y
our tires and the road surface. You must always reduce your speed to allow additional
stopping distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
• H ydroplaning and wet weather driving – Hydroplaning occurs on wet roads and refers
t
o the loss of tire contact with the road due to the build-up of water between the tire
contact patch and the road surface. Three main factors affect hydroplaning and,
consequently, your tire traction on wet roads:
1. V ehicle Speed – As speed increases, wet traction is considerably reduced.
2
. W ater Depth – The deeper the water, the sooner your tires will lose traction. Even thin
w
ater layers can create sufficient lubrication to cause traction loss at low speeds,
depending on road conditions.
3. T ire Tread Depth – As your tires wear down, their decreased ability to resist hydro -
p
laning can result in a complete loss of traction and vehicle control. You should
a l
ways reduce your speed with consideration for the traffic around you.
Driving on ice and snow – Your all-season tires were designed to provide higher
levels of snow traction compared to non-all- season tires. You have all-season
tires if you find the letters “M&S” are molded into the sidewall near the bead.
These letters mean “Mud and Snow.” Tires designed for use in severe snow con -
ditions generally have tread patterns, structure, and materials for giving superior
p e
rformance. These tires are marked with the “M&S” designation plus a moun -
tain/snowflake symbol . Even the best all-season tires will not provide accept -
able levels of traction if you drive too fast in snow or ice conditions and if you do
n o
t allow more stopping distance on icy roads compared to dry road surfaces.
Your ability to safely maneuver your vehicle in snow or ice conditions is consid -
erably reduced if your tires are too worn to provide adequate road grip.
SAFE USE OF TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
• The temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must not be used
continuously as a standard tire. The temporary spare tire should be returned to the
trunk as soon as it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
• T he temporary spare tire should not be used for speeds exceeding 50
mph.
• N ever use chains on temporary spare tires, because it could cause damage to your
v
ehicle.
WARNING!
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a different size and construction
from the other tires on your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure
to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to observe recommended
precautions could lead to erratic vehicle behavior and/or tire damage, possibly
resulting in an accident and serious personal injury or death.

• When you replace the temporary tire, replace it only with the same type of tire.
• A full-size spare tire in your vehicle is intended for use as a spare when needed. Please
s
ee the “Tire Rotation” section for the proper procedures for including the same size
construction and speed-rated tire (for LT tires of the same size, type, and load rating)
in the rotation pattern. Do not rotate a temporary spare tire.
TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool dry place where water cannot collect inside the
tires. The tires should be placed away from harmful ozone-producing electric generators
and motors and sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be clean and
free of grease, gasoline, or other substances, which can deteriorate the rubber.
COMPETITION TIRE STORAGE
The rubber compounds used in these tires have unique properties that, when compared
to other tires, can cause them to lose some of their flexibility when used or handled in
conditions below 15° F (-9° C). This loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and
other damage to the tire. To minimize the chances of this happening, you are advised to
follow these instructions:
1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in conditions below 15° F (-9° C).
2
. A void moving these tires in conditions below 15° F (-9° C).
3
. B efore mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours in a
t
emperature-controlled environment of 68° F (20° C) or warmer.
WARNING!
• Check inflation pressure before using your spare tire. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your spare tire may cause loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious personal injury or death. Maintain spare tire inflation pressures
based on the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire Information Placard.
• “ T” Type high-pressure temporary spare tires should not be used with any other
w
heel, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire wheel. If you fail to follow this warning, your vehicle’s
handling characteristics can be seriously affected. You could have an accident
resulting in serious personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
the proper use of your “temporary use” spare tire.
• D o not operate your vehicle with more than one temporary spare in use (this does
n
ot apply to a full size spare), and only operate it at limited speeds and distances as
indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
• T he “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground clearance when used. Avoid
d
riving over large obstacles and other road hazards. Check your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for other special clearance precautions when using the “T” Type temporary
spare tire provided in your vehicle.

4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires that have cracked.
SPECIAL ADVICE FOR LIGHT TRUCKS
Never exceed the speed limit as indicated by the speed symbol on the tire’s sidewall. See
the chart and explanation of speed ratings in this manual.
If you do not know the speed rating of your Toyo brand tire, contact your Toyo Tires®
d e
aler or Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. for current information.
TIRES DESIGNATED AS “LT” WITH NO SPEED RATING INDICATED ON THE SIDEWALL
It is not recommended that any light truck be operated at speeds in excess of legal limits.
However, if it is anticipated that sustained driving at speeds in excess of 65 mph may be
r e
quired, then the following adjustments or recommendations should be followed:
• A t speeds from 66 m
ph through 75 mph, cold inflation pressure must be increased
10 psi above the recommended pressures for the load being carried.
• D o not exceed the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel (all wheels have
m
aximum allowable inflation pressures).
WARNING!
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be visible and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.

REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR LIGHT TRUCKS – P-METRIC VS . LT-TRUCK
Tire installers should exercise extreme caution when replacing tires on light trucks.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewall of a P-metric tire is reduced by a
fa
ctor of 1.1 when used on a light truck, a sport utility vehicle, or a trailer.
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV, pickup, minivan), the load
r a
ting 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
3,086 lb. If this tire is fitted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for the tire is
2,805 lb (3,086 lb 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).
WARNING!
• P-metric and LT-metric tires are not necessarily interchangeable. P-metric and LT-metric tires follow completely different Load/ Inflation tables and are designed to
carry different loads at different pressures.
• LT -metric tires carry their load at higher inflation pressures and do not always have
a
dequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of the same size.
• A fter reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for fitment on a Light
T
ruck, the P-metric tire may not offer sufficient load capacity to replace an LT-metric
tire of the same size.
• C ontact your Toyo Tires® dealer or Toyo Tires® Technical Service for help deter -
m
ining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• D riving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in immediate tire failure,
w
hich can cause an accident and could lead to serious personal injury or death.
