Inflation pressure can decrease by one psi for every 10°F temperature drop Important
factors in tire care are:
• P roper inflation pressure
•
Proper vehicle loading
•
Proper vehicle maintenance
•
Regular inspection
•
Good driving habits
R
efer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for additional tire safety and service advice.
TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing one psi per month over several months along with a one
psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a severe “run low”
condition; consequently, it is important to check your tires’ inflation pressure at least
once per month. Inflation pressure enables a tire to support its load; therefore, proper
inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by looking at them.

4. If needed, inflate and recheck the pressure with the tire pressure gauge.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE TIRE INFLATION
• If you must inflate your tires when they are hot, add four pounds per square inch (4
psi) (28 kPa) above the recommended inflation pressure specification. Recheck the
inflation pressure when the tires are cold and adjust to the recommended inflation
pressure shown on the vehicle’s Tire Information Placard.
• N ever release air or nitrogen from a hot tire in order to reach the recommended cold
t
ire pressure. Normal driving causes tires to run hotter and inflation pressure to
increase. If you release pressure when your tires are hot, you may dangerously under -
inflate your tires. If your tires lose more than one pound per square inch (1 psi) per
m o

nth, the tire, the valve, or the wheel may be damaged. Consult an authorized Toyo
Tires® dealer for an inspection.
• O verinflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
•
Overinflation or underinflation may adversely affect vehicle handling.
•
Remember to check your spare tire. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the
c
orrect inflation pressure and use of a “temporary use” spare tire. The inflation pres -
sure specified for a spare tire is typically different from that specified for your regular
t i

res.
• U se valve caps to keep valve cores clean and clear of debris and to help guard against
a
ir leakage.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS)
Even if your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, you
should check your tire pressure at least once per month when the tires are cold
fo

r example, after being parked overnight. Tire pressure warning systems are
not a substitute for regular tire pressure maintenance.
WARNING!


Never inflate a tire unless it is secured to the vehicle or a tire mounting machine.
Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If the tire bursts, it could be propelled into
the air with explosive force and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!


If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, read the vehicle Owner’s Manual regarding its
operation. Some TPMS systems do not alert you until the tires are significantly
underinflated, which could result in permanent tire damage and possible sudden tire
failure. In the event that your TPMS malfunction indicator lamp is displayed, you
should immediately pull over to a safe parking area and check your tires.

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 replacement. 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 Owner’s 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 speeds or speeds
dictated by driving conditions.
Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely avoided. 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 must be checked
frequently when tires are cold (before operation, cool to the touch) and no less than once
