USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire.\

It shows the name of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type,\
the
maximum load and maximum inflation, and important safety warnings.
The sidewall markings on passenger and light truck tires are slightly
different.

The letters “DOT” certify compliance with all applicable safety
standards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT). Adjacent to this is a tire identification or serial number. This
serial number is a code with up to 12 digits that are a combination
of numbers and letters. The last characters are numbers identifying
the week and year of manufacture. (For example, “1502” means the
fifteenth week of the year 2002.)
The DOT requires tire manufacturers to grade passenger car tires
based on three performance factors: Treadwear, Traction and
Temperature resistance. (See the “Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)” section for more details.)
The sidewall also shows the type of cord and the number of plies in the \
sidewall and under the tread.

temporary use 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.
4.
A tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km) can be expected
depending on 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
