2017 TOYOTA 86 tire type

901-7. Safety information
■ Example of the type of accident in which the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag will most likely deploy
■ Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS curtain shield air-
bag will most likely deploy A severe side impact near the front seat
activates the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag.
The vehicle rolls onto its side or the roof.
The side of the vehicle raises above a
certain threshold or the vehicle skids and
its tires hit a curbstone laterally.

2022-5. Driving information
Tire chains
Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle because of the lack of
clearance between the tires and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be used, use of another type of traction
device (such as spring chains) may be acceptable if use on your vehi-
cle is recommended by the device manufacturer, taking into account
tire size and road conditions.
Follow the device manufacturer's instructions, especially regarding
maximum vehicle speed.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is contacti ng your vehicle, and do not spin your
wheels. Damage caused to your vehi cle by use of a traction device is
not covered under warranty.
Make certain that any traction de vice you use is an SAE class “S”
device, and use it on the rear wheels only.
Always use the utmost care when driving with a traction device. Over-
confidence because you are using a tr action device could easily lead
to a serious accident.
Selecting tire chains
We recommend that you consult your Toyota dealer for information
about the chains that you can use.

When driving WARNING■
Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury. ●
Use tires of the specified size, and that are the same size, same
maker, same brand and tread pattern. ●
Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of
snow tires being used.●
Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
NOTICE■
Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the
operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■
Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function cor-
rectly when tire chains are fitted.

Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAW R) of either the front axle or the
rear axle, whichever is greater.

Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tire s, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When
installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use
year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance
compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the or iginally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction . Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires
should be installe d on all wheels. ( → P. 200)For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label. For the maximum load of the
tire, see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on the
sidewall of the tire. ( → P. 370)

Maintenance and care
Wheels If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause loss of handling control.
■ Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those remo ved in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and inset
* .
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
* : Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
■ Aluminum wheel precautions
● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
● When rotating, repairing or chang ing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight afte r driving 1000 m iles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
● Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

When trouble arises
3235-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative
The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition be comes normal, the syst em will work properly.)●
If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.●
If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.●
If the tire inflation pr essure is 55 psi (380 kPa, 3.87 kgf/cm 2
or bar) or
higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition be comes normal, the syst em will work properly.)●
If electronic devices or facilities us ing similar radio wave frequencies
are nearby.●
If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.●
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.●
If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.
●
If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. (Even if you use Toyota
wheels, the tire pressu re warning system may not work properly with
some types of tires.)
●
If tire chains are used.
●
If a large metallic object which can interfer e with signal reception is
put in the trunk.
■
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking
for approximately one minute
If the tire pressure warning light fr equently comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position, have it checked your Toyota dealer.

Vehicle specifications Tire ply composition and materials Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the
strands which form the plies in a tire.
Radial tires or bias-ply tires A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked
“RADIAL” is a bias-ply tire.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly filled in the
tire. A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube main-
tains the air pressure.
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( → P. 273)
Maximum cold tire in flation pressure ( → P. 364)This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.
Summer tire or all season tire ( → P. 273)An all season tire has “M+S” on the sidewall. A tire not marked
“M+S” is a summer tire.
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” ( → P. 332)
A compact spare tire is identified by the phrase “TEMPORARY
USE ONLY” molded into its sidewall. This tire is designed for tem-
porary emergency use only.
