TYPICAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRE
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (“UTQG”) standards are intended to
assist you in making an informed choice in your purchase of passenger
car tires by providing information indicating relative performance in the
areas of treadwear, wet stopping traction, and temperature resistance. All
passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.
•Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test track. For example, a tire graded 200 would wear
twice as long on the government course as a tire graded 100. It is
wrong to link treadwear grades with your projected tire mileage. The
relative performance of the tires depends upon the actual conditions of

their use and may vary due to driving habits, service practices,
differences in road characteristics, and climate.
•Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and
C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
mNOTICE!
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
•Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperatures
can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance that all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading either separately or in combination can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. This can cause an accident, which
could lead to serious personal injury or death.
•DOT Quality Grades - All passenger car tires must conform to federal
requirements in addition to these grades.

DOT SERIAL NUMBER SYSTEM
TIRE REGISTRATION
Your original equipment tires are registered through the vehicle manu-
facturer.
When you purchase replacement Toyo brand tires, the seller is required
by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to present you
with a tire registration form. Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. provides a registra-
tion card at no charge to all Toyo Tires dealers. The dealer must fill in the
dealer name, address, and serial numbers of the tires purchased. You, the
buyer, should then fill in your name and address, place a stamp on the
form, and mail it to the pre-addressed location on the form. Be sure to
have your dealer complete their portion of the registration card included
in this Limited Warranty at the time of purchase. The information
TOYO TIRES – LIMITED WARRANTY
258

contained in the registration card is an important means to notify you in
the event of a product recall.
If you prefer, you may register your tires on our web page at
www.toyotires.comand select “Tire Registration.” Be prepared to pro-
vide the name and address of the dealer, the quantity of tires, and the
DOT serial numbers from the sidewall of the tires.
IMPORTANT! If self-registering tires, make sure to include all letters and
numbers (up to 12 digits) following the letters “DOT” on the tire’s
sidewall near the bead. If you see only four letters next to the letters
“DOT”, look on the other side of the tire for the full DOT number.

Warranty brochure for your tires. As the original equipment tire

helping you properly maintain and service your tires and ensure you
have the correct contact information in the unlikely event of a tire
issue. Please refer to the back panel of this brochure for information on
obtaining customer assistance in your area.
This limited warranty provides for tire replacement under certain speci-
fied conditions. This policy applies to original equipment tires used in
normal highway service displaying warrantable conditions. Tires that
become unserviceable or wear out because of neglect or mistreatment are
exclud- ed from Yokohama warranty coverage.
1. WARRANTY ELIGIBILITY
This warranty applies to every YOKOHAMA original equipment pas-
senger car, light truck, and temporary spare tire bearing the YOKO-
HAMA brand name and complete DOT serial identification number.
Eligible tires must be used on the vehicle on which they were originally
equipped in conformance with the vehicle manufacturer ’s recommenda-
tions.
YOKOHAMA TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY

2. WHAT IS NOT WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for the following reasons:
•Road hazard injuries or damages, caused to the tire by obstacles and
debris such as cuts, punctures (whether repairable or not), snags,
bruises, tears, or impact breaks.
•Improper repairs or repairs that have failed.
•Improper inflation or other maintenance abuses.
•Incorrect mounting of the tire, or tire/wheel imbalance.
•Mechanical irregularities in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment,
worn, or faulty parts.
•Accident, corrosion, vandalism, fire, or damage caused by nature.
•Tires used on vehicles in racing or special applications.
•Non-speed-rated temporary spare tires used over 50 mph (80 km/h).
•Tires worn out [2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining] .
•Tires that have been retreaded.
•Tires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally
installed.
•Improper storage
3. WHAT IS WARRANTED
Tires that have become unserviceable for reasons other than stated above
will be replaced in accordance with this warranty.
If a warrantable condition is found, tires will be replaced as follows:
A) Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires (Other than Temporary Spare
Tires)
When a tire becomes unserviceable during the first 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) of
original usable tread depth or 12 months from date of vehicle purchase,
whichever comes first, it will be replaced with a comparable new
YOKOHAMA tire free of charge. During this period, tires will be
mounted and balanced without charge. Other service charges such as tire
rotation, alignment or applicable taxes are payable by the customer.
YOKOHAMA TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY
262

When a tire has worn past the above specified period for free replace-
ment, the customer must pay for the cost of a new comparable YOKO-
HAMA passenger car or light truck tire on a pro-rated basis. The dealer
shall determine this cost by multiplying the percentage of usable tread
worn by the current retail selling price of that tire at the time of warranty
replacement. The costs of mounting, balancing and any other service
charges or applicable taxes are payable by the customer.
The tire is covered by this warranty for the life of the original usable tread
(the original tread depth down to the level of tread wear indicator bars
molded at 2/32 inch or 1.6 mm) or for 48 months from the date of vehicle
purchase, whichever comes first. This time period does not represent the
expected service life for tires covered by this warranty.
B) Temporary Spare Tires
When then original tread of a YOKOHAMA Temporary Spare tire used in
temporary highway service on the vehicle in which it was originally
equipped, is worn not more than 1/32 inch or 0.8 mm, the tire will be
replaced with a new YOKOHAMA Temporary Spare tire free of charge,
without charge for mounting and balancing the new tire. Additional
service charges are payable by the customer.
Temporary Spare tires worn in excess of 1/32 inch or 0.8 mm but less than
2/32 inch or 1.6 mm, will be replaced and the customer charged 50% of
the current retail selling price of the tire. The costs of mounting, balancing
and any other service charges are payable by the customer.
3. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
All implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly limited to the duration of
this written warranty.
All obligations or liabilities for loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle
use or any other incidental or consequential damages are hereby ex-
cluded. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequen-
tial damages so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.
4. YOKOHAMA’S OBLIGATIONS
Replacements qualifying under the warranty will be made by an autho-
rized YOKOHAMA retail tire dealer and will be handled quickly. Listings
for participating dealers may be found in the yellow pages of your
