personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35  
mph/60 km/h as indicated on your speedometer. Use a 
gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your 
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near or behind a 
tire spinning at high speed as, for example, while attempting 
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin 
balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEARAlways remove tires from service when they reach two 
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth. 
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as 
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to 
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet 
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly 
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible 
to penetrations.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone 
cracking or weather-cracking. 
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping  
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service 
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material  
to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber  
and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent inspection of your tires for signs of damage and 
their general condition is important for safety. If you have 
any questions, have your tire dealer inspect them. Impacts, 
penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges, or air loss always 
require tire removal and expert inspection. Never perform 
a temporary repair or use an innertube as a substitute for a 
proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE : Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or repair  
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the 
repairer and should be made in accordance with established 
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT  
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim  
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow 
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter 
to rim surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or 
place in safety cage. STAND BACK and never exceed 
40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or 
a rubber “donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-
Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only specially trained persons 
should mount tires.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES  
AND TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recommends  
fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless 
otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL  
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must  
be fi tted to the same vehicle, fi t radials on rear axle. Never 
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fi tting 
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles, 
always fi t in sets for four. Do not fi t tires with different 
speed ratings. 
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can 
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult 
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire 
clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted 
by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. 
Department of Transportation test compliance certifi  cations 
are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,  
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl  ation/over- 
infl ation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can cause 
vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according 
to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at 
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY  
SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS
•  Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight   temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
•  Check the infl ation pressure before using and at least  weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with 
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle 
owner’s manual. When infl ating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the 
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave 
valve core in place and add infl ation air in short bursts. 
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge 
until the specifi ed pressure is reached.
•  The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground  clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving 
over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other 
road hazards.
•  Check your car owner’s manual for other special  clearance precautions when using the lightweight

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK  
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand  
passenger tires and light truck tires mounted on vehicles as 
original equipment for adjustable conditions as follows: 
1.   What is covered by the warranty: 
  Toyo brand passenger and light truck tires are warranted  for adjustable conditions other than those listed under 
“What Is Not Covered” for the new original usable 
tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nd" 
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date of 
manufacture, whichever comes fi rst.  The DOT serial 
number on the sidewall of the tire will be used to 
determine date of manufacture.  This time limit does 
not apply to Toyo temporary spare tires.  Presence of 
a manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to 
qualify for adjustment. 
(A) When   less than 25% of the original usable tread  
of a radial tire, or less than 50% of the original 
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been 
worn, the tire will be replaced with a new Toyo tire 
free of charge, including mounting and balancing. 
(Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration, 
which cannot be corrected by balancing are only 
adjustable in the fi  rst 25% of usable tread.)  Service 
charges or any applicable taxes are payable by 
you. 
(B) When   more than 25%  of the original usable tread  
of a radial tire, or more than 50% of the original 
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been worn 
the user must pay for the cost of a replacement 
tire based on the amount of tread used.  This is   calculated by dividing the number of 32nds of an  
inch used by the original usable tread depth and 
multiplying by the actual current dealer selling price.  
  
Service charges or any applicable taxes are payable 
by you. 
2.  What is not covered by the warranty:  (A) Mileage is not warranted. 
(B) Damage due to road hazards whether repairable  or not (such as cuts, snags, bruises, impact or 
punctures, improper tire chains) . 
(C) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure   to rotate the tires at recommended intervals, or from 
vehicle misalignment. 
(D) Damage resulting from improper repair materials   or procedures. 
(E) Damage from  incorrect mounting or dismounting   of the tire, incorrect wheel size, or failure to balance 
the tires. 
(F) D  amage or uneven tread wear from incorrect  
infl    ation, overloading, fi   re, theft, defective mechanical  
conditions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or 
collision, and willful damage or abuse. 
(G) Damage, corrosion, or rubber deterioration due to   the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers, 
balancing substances, or fl ammable gases. 
(H) Ride, balance, or vibration complaints after the fi rst   25% of tread wear. 
(I)  Minor surface blemishes due to weathering and   normal wear and tear which do not affect the 
serviceability of the tire.  (J)  Any tire which has been run to destruction while  
fl a t . 
(K) Tires used in commercial service.
(L) Claims after 5 years from the date the tire was   manufactured. 
(M) Tires on vehicles normally operated outside the   United States. 
(N) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail   purchaser of the vehicle. 
(O) Tires with the D.O.T. identifi  cation number removed   or rendered illegible, or branded "used". 
(P) Any claim where the tire is not presented and   available for Toyo's inspection. 
(Q) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records   are not available or verifi able. 
(R) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than   2/32" remaining tread) . 
(S) Temporary spare tires used at speeds over 50 miles   per hour. 
(T)  Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or   required maintenance of the tires such as alignments 
or rotation.
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and 
maintenance: 
(1) Tires must be rotated every 7,500 miles or sooner   if upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is 
beginning to appear. Keep a record of the rotation. 
(2)   The consumer must maintain the recommended
