TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or repair.
Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
mNOTICE!
•Toyo brand tires are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage,
underinflation/overloading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To obtain
the highest possible performance, tires must be maintained properly.
•Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your
vehicle.
Inflation pressure can decrease by 1 psi for every 10°F temperature drop
Important factors in tire care are:
•Proper inflation pressure
•Proper vehicle loading
•Proper vehicle maintenance
•Regular inspection
•Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.
TOYO TIRES – LIMITED WARRANTY

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months along
with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a
severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to check your
tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month. Inflation pressure enables
a tire to support its load; therefore, proper inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
