SAFETY INFORMATIONAny tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper
infl ation, overloading, or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Tire failure may create a risk
of serious personal injury or property damage. To
reduce risk of tire failure, we strongly recommend you
read and follow all safety information contained in the
Important Tire Safety Information section contained
in this booklet, the tire placard in the vehicle or the
Owner’s Manual.

all traffi c laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes.
Failure to follow any of these warnings may result in loss of
control of the vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to give
them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) inspection
for proper infl ation, even treadwear, and the presence of
any damage.DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRESProper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper infl ation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire
pressure gauge.*
For example, it is diffi cult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinfl ated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is diffi cult to notice when a tire has gone
fl at or nearly fl at since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signifi cantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinfl ation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to deter-
mine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to
reinfl ate a tire that has been run severely underinfl ated.Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fi tment
causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2)
bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insuf-
fi cient lubrication or improper adjustment, (3) leaking
valve core or rubber valve components. These should
be replaced when problems are detected and whenever
tires are replaced.
Always maintain infl ation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as
shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifi cation
label or in the vehicle owner’s manual:
Underinfl ation is the leading cause of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall fl exing and increases rolling resistance, result-
ing in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper
infl ation pressure is the single most important thing you
can do to ensure tire durability and maximum tread life.
Overinfl ation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinfl ation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the load
limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires
and other critical vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle
can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption and
may cause tire failure.
Never fi t your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and re-
member that optimum rim width is important for proper tire
load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of
P-Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fi t P-Metric tires to light
trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELYAvoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in
snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces generated
by a free-spinning tire/ wheel assembly may cause sudden
tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your speedometer. Use a
gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near or behind a
tire spinning at high speeds. For example, while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin
balance machine is in use.DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEARAlways remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible
to penetrations.DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is important
for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire Dealer
inspect them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges
or air loss always require tire removal and expert inspection.
Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as
a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons
should repair tires.

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTYToyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires, light truck tires and “T” Type temporary
spare tires mounted on vehicles as original equipment for
adjustable conditions as follows:
Important: In accordance with Federal Law, this warranty
has been designated as a “Limited Warranty.” Nothing in
this limited warranty is intended to be a representation that
tire failures cannot occur:WHAT IS COVERED BY THE LIMITED
WARRANTYToyo brand passenger tires, light truck tires and full size
spare tires are warranted for adjustable conditions for the
new, original usable tread until worn down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32
nds of an inch of tread remaining) or for 60
months from the date of purchase (as verifi ed by a copy
of the original new vehicle purchase invoice) , whichever
comes fi rst. In the event the original new vehicle purchase
invoice is unavailable, the DOT serial number will be used
to determine eligibility. See “What Is Not Covered” listed
below. Presence of a manufacturing anomaly is not neces-
sarily required to qualify for adjustment.
(1) When 25% or less of the original usable tread of a
radial tire has been worn, the tire will be replaced with
a comparable new Toyo tire free of charge, including
mounting and balancing. The original usable tread is
the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) .
Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration, which
cannot be corrected by balancing, are only adjustable
in the fi rst 25% of usable tread (a set of four tires will
not be accepted for ride disturbance) . Service charges
or any applicable taxes are payable by you.(2) When more than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire has been worn, the user must pay for
the cost of a comparable new Toyo replacement tire
based on the amount of tread used. This is calculated
by dividing the number of 32
nds of an inch used by
the original usable tread depth and multiplying by
the actual current dealer selling price. The original
usable tread is the original tread down to the level of
the tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) . Service charges or any applicable taxes
are payable by you.
(3) The tires must be used in normal highway service
on the vehicle they were originally installed, used in
non-commercial service and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings
contained in the Owner’s Manual and in the Important
Tire Safety Information section of this booklet.
“T” TYPE TEMPORARY SPARE TIREIf an examination by Toyo shows that the “T” Type tempo-
rary spare tire does not conform to this limited warranty,
it will be replaced with a comparable new Toyo tire by an
authorized Toyo dealer as follows:
(1) When 50% or less of the original usable tread has
been worn, the tire will be replaced with a comparable
new Toyo tire free of charge. Mounting and balancing,
service charges or any applicable taxes are payable by
you.
(2) When more than 50% of the original usable tread has
been worn, you must pay for the cost of a comparable
new Toyo replacement tire based on the amount of
tread used. Mounting and balancing, service charges
or any applicable taxes are payable by you.(3) Limited warranty duration is the life of the original usable
tread (down to 2/32
nds of an inch of tread remaining)
or for 60 months from the date of purchase (as verifi ed
by a copy of the original new vehicle purchase invoice) ,
whichever comes fi rst. In the event the original new
vehicle purchase invoice is unavailable, the DOT serial
number will be used to determine eligibility.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATIONThe 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 fol-
low 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.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for tem-
porary use only. It must not be used as a standard
tire continuously. The temporary spare tire should be
returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient to have
your standard tire repaired or replaced.
(2) “T” Type temporary spare tires should NOT BE used
for speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
(3) NEVER use chains on “T” Type temporary spare tires
because it could cause damage to your vehicle.
(4) When you replace the temporary spare tire, replace it
only with the same type of tire.
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Continued on page 30)

(9) Replacement of four (4) or more tires from the same
vehicle will not be accepted for ride disturbance
complaints i.e. vibration, out of round, out of balance,
pulling, noise, due to the unlikely event of multiple
tires with uniformity problems.
(10) Claims for weather/ozone cracking after 5 years from
the date of manufacture.
(11) Any tire which has been run with low air pressure or
while fl at.
(12) Tires used in commercial service.
(13) Tires on vehicles regularly operated outside the United
States.
(14) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail
purchaser of the vehicle.
(15) Tires with the D.O.T. identifi cation number removed
or rendered illegible.
(16) Any tire not presented and available for Toyo’s inspec-
tion.
(17) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records
are not available or verifi able.
(18) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than
2/32
nds of an inch of tread remaining) .
(19) Tires not supplied as original equipment on new
vehicles (refer to Owner’s Manual for coverage) .
(20) “T” Type temporary spare tires used at speeds over
50 miles per hour, exhibiting such damage.
(21) Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or
required maintenance of the tires such as alignments,
rotation or balancing.
(22) The cost of applicable federal, state and local taxes
and fees.
(23) Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not
warranted.
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(5) Check infl ation pressure before use. Failure to have
proper infl ation pressure when using your spare tire
can result in serious personal injury or death. Maintain
infl ation pressure of 35 psi for the temporary full size
spare and 60 psi for the “T” Type, high pressure,
temporary spare tire. When infl ating or adding air to
a “T” Type temporary spare tire, be very careful since
the smaller tire volume can gain pressure much more
rapidly than a normal full size tire.
(6) Placing (mounting) your temporary use tire on a wheel
which is not specifi cally designed for use with the
temporary use tire or placing another type tire on
your temporary use wheel can be dangerous. 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 proper use of your “temporary
use” spare tire.
(7) The “T” Type high pressure temporary spare tire
should not be used with any other wheel nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used on the high pressure spare tire wheel.
(8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than one
temporary spare in use (this does not apply to a full
size spare) and only at limited speeds and distances
as indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
(9) The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground
clearance when used. Avoid driving over large ob-
stacles and other road hazards. Check your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for other special clearance precau-
tions when using the “T” Type temporary spare tire
provided in your vehicle.
(10) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the Owner’s Manual and in
the Important Tire Safety Information section of this
booklet.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS

CONSUMER’S OBLIGATIONThe consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:
(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every 3,500 miles
or less for high performance (low profi le) tires or every
7,500 miles or less for standard passenger and light
truck tires. More frequent rotation may be necessary
if, upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front and rear
tire tread depth differential should be kept to 2/32
nds
of an inch or less. Keep a record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recommended air
pressure in the tires according to vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendation. Check infl ation pressures on all your
tires, including the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining proper
infl ation pressure is the single most important thing you
can do to ensure optimum tread life and tire durability.
To avoid injury, NEVER reinfl ate a tire that has been
run severely underinfl ated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment
in accordance with vehicle manufacturer’s specifi ca-
tions.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded.
(5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not be
exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the Owner’s Manual and in
the Important Tire Safety Information section of this
booklet.

The consumer is entitled to an adjustment in accordance with

on the vehicle as original equipment. The adjustment policy
provides for replacement with a comparable new Toyo tire

condition verifi ed by Toyo’s inspection of the tire. Free
replacement or a pro rata charge depends on the remaining
usable tread when tire is presented for adjustment.
