VEHICLES WITH MODIFIED SUSPENSION
WARNING!
ROLLOVER HAZARD
Large-diameter tires and modified suspensions that increase ground
clearance will alter vehicle handling.
•The vehicle may become more likely to roll over.
•Braking distances may increase.
•Slower speeds may be required to maintain control.
Drive with extreme caution until you become familiar with how
your vehicle handles. Always wear your seat belt.
Some modifications may be illegal in your state. Consult your
Owner ’s Manual, the instructions for this product, and state law
before modifying your vehicle.
USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire. It
shows the name of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type, the
maximum load and maximum inflation, and important safety warnings.
The sidewall markings on passenger and light truck tires are slightly
different.

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

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.

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

TIRE HANDLING AND STORAGE IN COLDER CLIMATES
The rubber compounds used in the drag tires have unique properties
that, when compared to other tires, can cause them to lose some of their
flexibility when used or handled in conditions below 15°F (-9°C). This
loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the
tire. To minimize the chances of this happening, you are advised to follow
these instructions:
1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in conditions below
15°F (-9°C).
2. Avoid moving these tires in conditions below 15°F (-9°C).
3.
Before mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours
in a temperature-controlled environment of 68°F (20°C) or warmer.
4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal
air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires that have
cracked.
WARNING!
DO NOT DRIVE ON THESE TIRES IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER
CONDITIONS. Driving or moving a vehicle with drag radial tires
installed in conditions below 15°F (-9°C) may cause cracking or other
damage to the tire. This can lead to tire failure, which may result in
loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
TIRE STORAGE
When dismounted from the wheel for storage, the drag tires should be
stored indoors in a cool, dry location. The tires should be placed away
from direct sunlight, harmful ozone-producing electric generators and
motors and sources of heat, such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be
clean and free of grease, gasoline, or other substances, which can
deteriorate the rubber.
WARNING!
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and result in tire failure, which may result in loss of vehicle
control, and lead to serious personal injury or death.

•The repair will be the first repair performed on that tire. (Only one
repair per tire is permitted in order to maintain a limited speed rating.)
•The tire must have more than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Nitto speed-rated passenger tires that have been properly repaired
qualify for reduced speed ratings as follows:
ORIGINAL SPEED RATING AFTER PUNCTURE REPAIR
(Y), Y, W, Z, V, VR, H H (maximum speed 130 mph)
TT
SS
The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated
tire on the car.
mNOTICE!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded, damaged, abused, or
otherwise altered from its original condition. Thereafter, it should be treated
as a non-speed-rated tire. In addition, retreaded passenger and light truck
tires are not warranted by Nitto for any reason. Nitto speed ratings are
voided for retreaded tires.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, don’t guess what tire is right for your
vehicle. First look at the vehicle Owner ’s Manual or the Tire Information
Placard. They tell you the size of the tires that were on the vehicle as
original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and load
capacity (by inflation) that is capable of supporting the same load as the
vehicle’s originally installed (OE) tires. Avoid installing used tires on a
vehicle. There is no way to determine what road hazards or abuse a
previously owned tire may have incurred.
WARNING!
Failure to install tires with adequate load capacity will result in tire
fatigue and sudden tire failure. This could lead to loss of vehicle
control, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
