Maintenance and Care
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least monthly to make sure it is
properly inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to handle because of its construc-
tion which is lighter and smaller than a conventional tire. This tire
should be used only for an emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tire only until the conventional tire is
repaired, which should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on P. 570.
●The temporary spare tire condition gradually deteriorates even if it has
not been used.
●Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the
road. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when they are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the
spare tire. The period in which the tire was manufactured (both week
and year) is indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 541.
WARNING
■Always use tires that are in good condition
Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
■Replace all four tires at the same time
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and
poor braking resulting in loss of vehicle control. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that you replace all four tires at the same time. If you replace
only two tires, the new tires should be installed on the rear of the vehi-
cle.

Proper tire balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps
reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and
uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the orig-
inal factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
NOTICE
●Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conven-
tional tire. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tire and rim.
●The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 3,000 miles
(5,000 km). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving condi-
tions.
●The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tread wear
solid- band indicator appears, replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (→P. 450).
Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
■Always use wheels of the correct size on your vehicle
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous. Braking and handling could
be affected, leading to loss of control and an accident.
NOTICE
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
●Tire fit
●Wheel and bearing life
●Ground clearance
●Snow-chain clearance
●Speedometer calibration
●Headlight aim
●Bumper height
●Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)
