wheel alignment DODGE DURANGO SRT 2019 Vehicle Warranty

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This Limited Warranty does not cover the following categories of claims:
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
breaks, bulges, punctures, stone drills, chips, and scales), fire, theft, or
collision.
Conditions arising from improper tire/vehicle maintenance or use, not
limited to:
•Irregular or excessive treadwear due to: Incorrect inflation; overload-
ing; vehicle misalignment; failure to rotate tires; and poor or defective
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; racing;
or other competitive activities.
• Damage, corrosion, or deterioration from using oil-based chemicals,
water-based sealers, balancing substances, or flammable gases.
• Damage from improper use of tire chains.
Tires with the DOT identification number removed or rendered illegible.
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, incorrect
wheel size, water or other material trapped inside the tire during
mounting, or failure to keep the tires balanced.
• Damage resulting from improper repair materials or procedures.

•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, the
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 flat
spots in the tread may indicate alignment or other problems with the
tires or the vehicle. Consult your authorized Toyo Tires dealer.
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.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED WHEELS
Periodically check to see if any of the following symptoms exist, in which
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
tightening could cause this.)
• If there are cracks in the wheel.
WORN OUT TIRES
Tires must be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm). Treadwear
indicators on Toyo tire treads show the 2/32” depth (1.6 mm). Most states
require that tires be replaced when the tread depth is worn to 2/32” (1.6
mm). Tires may lose sufficient wet and snow traction before reaching
2/32” (1.6 mm) of wear. Many wet weather accidents result from
skidding on worn out tires.
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetrations. Consider
replacing your tires earlier if you drive in snow or wet conditions.

•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
suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
single 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-
ations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
You 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
unevenly, 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.

WARNING!(Continued)
Pull over to a safe area as soon as possible and inspect the tires for
signs of bulges, blisters, or separations. Seek roadside assistance or
change the damaged tire with your spare tire.
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
vibration, 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
position.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradually
decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
damaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek 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 Manual for rotation advice.

Tires)
When a tire becomes unserviceable during the first 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) of

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.
