IMPORTANT SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION!
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, can fail as a result
of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation or other
conditions resulting from use. Tire failures may create a risk
of property damage or personal injury. To reduce the risk
of tire failure, we strongly recommend the following:
WARNING!
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM:
1. Tire failure due to underinflation, vehicle overload- ing, or use in excess of legal speeds – follow
owner’s manual or tire information placard in your
vehicle.
2. Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting – only specially trained persons should
mount tires.
Refer to Important Tire Safety Information and instruc-
tions contained in this booklet, the tire placard in the
vehicle or the Owner’s Manual.
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
pressure in the tires according to Nissan’s recom-
mendation.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with Nissan’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded.
(5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not be exceeded.
TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
In the event that you make a claim under the terms of the
warranty, you must:
(1) Present your tires, and your vehicle to an authorized
Toyo Dealer. (Call consumer relations at
(800) 442-8696 or check dealer locator at http://
www.toyo.com for the nearest dealer location.)
(2) Complete and sign the Toyo Standard Claim form provided by the dealer and leave the tire with the dealer
for warranty processing.
NOTE: For your convenience, your nearest authorized Nissan Dealership will also assist you with your tire
service requirements or in obtaining tire warranty
service from the tire manufacturer.
The consumer is entitled to an adjustment in accordance
with the warranty that was in effect when the tire was
installed on the vehicle as original equipment. The adjust-
ment policy provides for replacement with a comparable
new Toyo tire if a Toyo tire becomes unserviceable due to
an adjustable condition verified by Toyo’s inspection of the
tire. Free replacement or a pro-rated charge depends on the remaining usable tread when the tire is presented for
adjustment.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This warranty is limited to the 50 United States, and the
District of Columbia. All implied warranties, including
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular pur-
pose are expressly limited to the duration of this warranty.
All obligations or liabilities for incidental or consequential
damages are hereby excluded (such as loss of time, loss of
use of vehicle, towing charges or road service or inconve-
nience) . Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-
tions or exclusions may not apply to you. No Toyo em-
ployee,
representative or dealer has the authority to make
or imply any representation, promise or agreement which in
any way varies the terms of this warranty. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
Important: In accordance with Federal Law, this warranty
has been designated as a “Limited Warranty”.
Nothing in this warranty is intended to be a
representation that tire failures cannot occur.

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the grooves
of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining.
At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires
worn beyond this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDSObjects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,
wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should
prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can
damage or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle
experiences any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or
noise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the tires
or vehicle has occurred. DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR
BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and
inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or damaged,
deflate, remove the tire and rim assembly and replace it
with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have the
vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire
yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and must be
done by professionally trained persons using proper tools
and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). Follow these mounting recom-
mendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of
correct size and type and which are in good, clean condi- tion. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire dam-
age. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign
materials.
Have your dealer check the wheels before
mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can
explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims
can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is
mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not remount
it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally
(which is not externally visible) by being dangerously
stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-
signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety
humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This
will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against
leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the
tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an
inch (6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following
the Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passenger
and Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufac-
turer of your tires for its position and assistance as to the
acceptable location for a proper repair and the repair of
speed rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may
cause further damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and the plug may fail.
Do not exceed
posted speed limits on any repaired tire. Certain tire
manufacturers speed ratings are voided if the tire is
repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4
inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has
sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally by
a tire dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause an
explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained
persons should perform these tasks. Contact your tire
store or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance, intro-
duce a flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your tires
are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are wearing
unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing
faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance.
These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires, but
adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle
which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or
vibration, have your alignment and balance checked imme-
diately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.

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 inflation 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 war-
ranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) 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 specifically 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 inflation 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 fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tempo-
rary 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 underinflate/overinflate.
• 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.
