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.

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size
of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold infl ation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage, which
can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable
due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition
of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from
warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty.HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is
designed for temporary use only and must not be used
continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
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 50MPH (80km/h) for non-
speed-rated temporary spare tires.4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which
can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to
the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired
or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifi cally
designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold infl ation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2) even when not in
use.
8) The 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 high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary
spare tire fi tted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly
when driving on a high-pressure temporary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to
follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline
or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber.
(Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving
could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinfl ate/overinfl ate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your
Nissan dealership.
