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.

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;
overloading; 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

IDENTIFYING DAMAGED TIRES•
If your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage
could result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control. Tire failure may even occur miles after the initial
impact. Impact damage from such hazards may not be visible on
the outside of the tire. Have your Toyo Tires dealer dismount the
tire and inspect it for damage. A tire may not have visible signs of
damage on the tire surface or the interior.
•
If the impact was sufficient to bend the wheel flange, internal
tire damage may have occurred, compromising the safety and
integrity of the tire. Such impact damage may result in a sudden
tire failure many weeks or months later. Tire replacement is highly
recommended as a safety precaution.
•
Indications of impact damage include, but are not limited to, a
bubble or a blister on the outside of the tire.
•
Have your dealer inspect your tires if you see anything unusual
or if cuts, cracks, splitting, or bruises in the tread and sidewall
areas are visible. Bumps or bulges may indicate a serious and
dangerous separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected
by a qualified tire service person. It may be necessary to have the
tire removed from the wheel for a complete inspection.
•
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.

TOYO TIRE
227
REPLACING TWO TIRES•
When a pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and
construction as those on the vehicle, the two newer tires must be
installed on the rear axle and must be of equal or higher speed
rating than the front tires. Generally, new tires with deeper tread
will provide better grip and evacuate water more effectively, which
is important as a driver approaches hydroplaning situations.
Placing greater traction on the rear axle on wet surfaces is
necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition and loss of
vehicle stability.
•
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
considerations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from
your tires. You need to check how your tires are wearing at least
once a month.

TOYO TIRE
229
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.

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: 1.
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.
- 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
