fied conditions. This policy applies to original equipment tires used in
normal highway service displaying warrantable conditions. Tires that

exclud- ed from Yokohama warranty coverage.
1. WARRANTY ELIGIBILITY
This warranty applies to every YOKOHAMA original equipment passenger
car, light truck, and temporary spare tire bearing the YOKOHAMA brand
name and complete DOT serial identification number. Eligible tires must be
used on the vehicle on which they were originally equipped in conformance
with the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommendations.

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.
YOKOHAMA TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY
262

When a tire has worn past the above specified period for free replacement,
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 usable tread worn by
the current retail selling price of that tire at the time of warranty replace-
ment. The costs of mounting, balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the customer.
The tire is covered by this warranty for the life of the original usable tread
(the original tread depth down to the level of tread wear indicator bars
molded at 2/32 inch or 1.6 mm) or for 48 months from the date of vehicle
purchase, whichever comes first. This time period does not represent the
expected service life for tires covered by this warranty.
B) Temporary Spare Tires
When then original tread of a YOKOHAMA Temporary Spare tire used in
temporary highway service on the vehicle in which it was originally
equipped, is worn not more than 1/32 inch or 0.8 mm, the tire will be
replaced with a new YOKOHAMA Temporary Spare tire free of charge,
without charge for mounting and balancing the new tire. Additional
service charges are payable by the customer.
Temporary Spare tires worn in excess of 1/32 inch or 0.8 mm but less than
2/32 inch or 1.6 mm, will be replaced and the customer charged 50% of
the current retail selling price of the tire. The costs of mounting, balancing
and any other service charges are payable by the customer.
3. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
All implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly limited to the duration of
this written warranty.
All obligations or liabilities for loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle
use or any other incidental or consequential damages are hereby ex-
cluded. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequen-
tial damages so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.

YOKOHAMA TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
High Pressure Spare Operating Instructions
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper
maintenance or service factors. Tire failure may create a risk of property
damage and serious or fatal injury. For your safety, please follow the
instructions below.
1. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire is designed for temporaryuse only and must not be used continually as a regular tire.
2. Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3. Speed must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for non-speed-rated Temporary Spare tires.
YOKOHAMA TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY
264

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.
YOKOHAMA TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY
265

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 inspec-
tion.
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 per month and before extended operation.
Use a tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it per the vehicle
manufacturer ’s recommendations (on vehicle placard or in owner ’s
manual). Do not reduce pressure when tire is hot and do not inflate a cold
tire higher than limits molded on the tire’s sidewall. Do not overlook
spare tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch
(1.6 mm). YOKOHAMA tires are manufactured with tread wear indica-
tors molded into the tire grooves which indicate tread wearout. As tires
wear down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), and tread depth is reduced, tire
traction is reduced during rainfall and winter road conditions. Visual tire
inspection therefore becomes more crucial as the tires wear out.
Hard Braking
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking situations or after tires
have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot or other damage to
the tread of the tire.
Spinning
•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.
