WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY
●TIRE DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING
Improper tire mounting and inflation procedures may
cause tire beads to break with explosive force during
installation of the tire on the rim, causing personal
injury and property damage. Follow the Rubber
Manufacturers Association installation and safety
procedure for mounting and inflating tires. Tire and
rim must match in size. Rim parts must match by
manufacturer’s design. Clean rim. Lubricate rim and
beads. Do not exceed the maximum recommended
pressure to seat beads on rim. Use remote control
inflation equipment and inflation cage.
NOTE:
Never inflate over 40 psi to seat beads. Mount
radial ply tires only on rims designated by wheel
manufacturer as suitable for radial tire. Only spe-
cially trained persons shall mount tires.
●AIR PRESSURECheck the pressure in your tires, including your spare,
at least monthly, and always before and during ex-
tended driving. Check tires cold (at least 3 hours after
the vehicle has been stopped and before it is driven
more than 1.6 kilometers or 1 mile) . Do not reduce
pressure when tires are hot, use an accurate air pres-
sure gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the
level recommended on the vehicle tire placard or in the
Owner’s Manual. Underinflation produces extreme
flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can
cause the tires to be more susceptible to impact dam-
age. Cold tire pressures, however, should never be
higher than the limit molded on the sidewall.
●LOAD LIMITS
Never exceed the load-carrying limits molded onto
the sidewall of your tires or the maximum vehicle load
limit as shown on the vehicle tire placard, whichever
is less. Overloading builds up excessive heat in the
tire and leads to early and/or sudden failure.
●HAZARDS
Avoid running over objects (e.g., chuckholes, rocks,
curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may possibly cause
internal tire damage. Continued use of a tire that has
suffered internal damage (which may not be exter-
nally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. De-
termination of suspected internal damage requires
demounting the tire from its rim and examination by
trained tire personnel.
(Continued on next page)
HANKOOK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 37
●WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced
by trained personnel when 2/32nds inch (1.6mm) of
tread depth remain, as indicated by treadwear indi-
cators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn-
out tires (less than 2/32nds of an inch remaining
tread depth) increases the probability of tire failure.
In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than
2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
●SPEED LIMITS
Operating your vehicle in excess of lawful speed
limits or the maximum speeds justified by driving
conditions can be dangerous. Excessive speed cre-
ates heat buildup in a tire, leading to possible tire
failure.
●SPEED-RATED TIRES
Speed-rated tires are identified by letters S, T, H, V,
W, or Z as either part of the size designation (e.g.,
HR) , or part of the service description adjacent to the
size designation (e.g., 94H) and indicates the maxi-
mum speed capability of the tire when properly
loaded and inflated. However, even when properly
loaded and inflated, driving for prolonged periods at
high speeds can cause tire damage and possible tire
failure which could lead to an accident. Original
equipment speed-rated tires must be replaced with
tires of the same or higher speed rating if the speed
capability of the vehicle is to be maintained. Consult
your Hankook dealer for the tires best suited to your
vehicle driving habit. Repairing of speed-rated tires
must be done in accordance with RMA repair pro-
cedures and is limited to one 1/4 diameter repair in
the tread area.
●TIRE ROTATION
Rotate your tires for longer tire life. Front and rear
tires perform different jobs and can wear differently.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for mileage
recommendations and rotation patterns.
●ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TEM-
PORARY TIRE
A. Air pressure. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after
installation and inflate to 60 psi. The tire pressure
should be checked monthly and maintained at
60 psi while the tire is stored or in service.
B. Vehicle restriction. The temporary spare tire was specifically designed
for your car and should not be used on any other
vehicle.
C. Other restrictions. The temporary spare tire should not be used with
other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers, or trim rings be used with the tempo-
rary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage
to these items or other vehicle components may
occur.

TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE SAFETY
INFORMATION
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a
different size and construction from the other tires on
your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. FAILURE TO OBSERVE RECOMMENDED PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD LEAD TO ERRATIC VEHICLE BE-
HAVIOR AND/OR TIRE DAMAGE POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
(1) A “T” Type temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must not be used as a
standard tire continuously. The temporary
spare tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as it is convenient to have your standard
tire repaired or replaced.
(2) “T” Type temporary spare tires should NOT BE used for speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour.
(3) NEVER use chains on “T” Type temporary spare tires because it could cause damage to
your vehicle. (4) When you replace the temporary spare tire,
replace it only with the same type of tire.
(5) Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your
spare tire can result in serious personal injury
or death. Maintain inflation pressure of 35 psi
for the temporary full size spare and 60 psi for
the “T” Type, high pressure, temporary spare
tire. When inflating 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 specifically designed for
use with the temporary use tire or placing an-
other 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 “tem-
porary 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 pres-
sure spare tire wheel. (8) Do not operate your vehicle with more than
one temporary spare in use (this does not ap-
ply 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 obstacles and other road hazards.
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for other
special clearance precautions 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 Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
(Continued on next page)
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 45
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every 3,500 miles or less for high performance (low
profile) tires or every 7,500 miles or less for
standard passenger and light truck tires. More
frequent rotation may be necessary if, upon
inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front
and rear tire tread depth differential should be
kept to 2/32nds of an inch or less. Keep a
record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recom- mended air pressure in the tires according to
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check inflation pressures on all your tires, in-
cluding the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most
important thing you can do to ensure optimum
tread life and tire durability. To avoid injury,
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run se-
verely underinflated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with vehicle manu-
facturer’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded. (5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not
be exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
