(5) Check infl ation pressure before use. Failure to have
proper infl ation pressure when using your spare tire
can result in serious personal injury or death. Maintain
infl ation pressure of 35 psi for the temporary full size
spare and 60 psi for the “T” Type, high pressure,
temporary spare tire. When infl ating or adding air to
a “T” Type temporary spare tire, be very careful since
the smaller tire volume can gain pressure much more
rapidly than a normal full size tire.
(6) Placing (mounting) your temporary use tire on a wheel
which is not specifi cally designed for use with the
temporary use tire or placing another type tire on
your temporary use wheel can be dangerous. Your
vehicle’s handling characteristics can be seriously
affected. You could have an accident resulting in
serious personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for proper use of your “temporary
use” spare tire.
(7) The “T” Type high pressure temporary spare tire
should not be used with any other wheel nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used on the high pressure spare tire wheel.
(8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than one
temporary spare in use (this does not apply to a full
size spare) and only at limited speeds and distances
as indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
(9) The “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground
clearance when used. Avoid driving over large ob-
stacles and other road hazards. Check your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for other special clearance precau-
tions when using the “T” Type temporary spare tire
provided in your vehicle.
(10) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety
warnings contained in the Owner’s Manual and in
the Important Tire Safety Information section of this
booklet.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY(1) Mileage is not warranted.
(2) Damage due to road hazards, whether repairable or
not (such as cut, snag, bruise, impact break, bulge,
puncture, improper use of tire chains, stone drill, chip,
scale) . These types of damages or air loss always
require tire removal and inspection by a qualifi ed tire
professional.
(3) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure
to rotate the tires at recommended intervals or from
vehicle misalignment.
(4) Damage resulting from improper repair materials or
procedures such as rope type plugs. Toyo does not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair
is entirely the responsibility of the repairer and should
be made in accordance with procedures as specifi ed
by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) .
(5) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of
the tire, incorrect wheel size, water or other material
trapped inside the tire during mounting or failure to
balance the tires.
(6) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect infl ation,
overloading, fi re, theft, defective mechanical condi-
tions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or collision,
misuse, misapplication, negligence, willful damage or
abuse, vandalism, tire alteration, tire spinning, racing
or competition purposes.
(7) Damage, corrosion or rubber deterioration due to
the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers,
balancing substances, or fl ammable gases.
(8) Uniformity problems such as ride, balance and vibra-
tion complaints after the fi rst 25% of tread wear.
