2019 DODGE DURANGO SRT warning light

WARNING!(Continued)
Pull over to a safe area as soon as possible and inspect the tires for
signs of bulges, blisters, or separations. Seek roadside assistance or
change the damaged tire with your spare tire.
If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following
information should be helpful:
• When the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a
vibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
• Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane
position.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradually
decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
damaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your spare
tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
professional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift by a tire
dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear, ask the
service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel alignment or
other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
vehicle Owner ’s Manual for rotation advice.

TIRE SPEED RATING
All Toyo Tires passenger, light truck, and truck tires have a maximum
speed rating based on size and type. Tires must never be operated in
excess of their rated speed limit! Consult your tire dealer or contact Toyo
Tires at 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time) if
you are not sure about the maximum speed rating of your tires.
WARNING!
No tire, regardless of its design or speed rating, has an unlimited
capacity for speed. Exceeding the tire’s speed capability could cause
overheating and sudden tire failure, possibly leading to loss of
vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
Toyo Tires does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or
unlawful manner. Obey all local speed limits.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven at the
speed for which the tire is rated. Speed ratings are based on laboratory
tests and relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires
are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, or altered.
WARNING!
High-speed driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may
result in immediate tire failure, possibly leading to loss of vehicle
control, which could cause an accident, including serious personal
injury or death.

2. Avoid moving these tires in conditions below 15° F (-9° C).
3. Before mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at least 24hours 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!
Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be
visible and could lead to serious personal injury or death.
SPECIAL ADVICE FOR LIGHT TRUCKS
Never exceed the speed limit as indicated by the speed symbol on the
tire’s sidewall. See the chart and explanation of speed ratings in this
manual.
If you do not know the speed rating of your Toyo brand tire, contact your
Toyo Tires dealer or Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. for current information.
TIRES DESIGNATED AS “LT” WITH NO SPEED RATING INDI-
CATED ON THE SIDEWALL
It is not recommended that any light truck be operated at speeds in excess
of legal limits. However, if it is anticipated that sustained driving at
TOYO TIRES – LIMITED WARRANTY
251

speeds in excess of 65 mph may be required, then the following
adjustments or recommendations should be followed:
•At speeds from 66 mph through 75 mph, cold inflation pressure must
be increased 10 psi above the recommended pressures for the load
being carried.
• Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel (all wheels
have maximum allowable inflation pressures).
REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR LIGHT TRUCKS – P-METRIC VS .
LT-TRUCK
Tire installers should exercise extreme caution when replacing tires on
light trucks.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewall of a P-metric tire is
reduced by a factor of 1.1 when used on a light truck, a sport utility
vehicle, or a trailer.
WARNING!
• P-metric and LT-metric tires are not necessarily interchangeable.
P-metric and LT-metric tires follow completely different Load/
Inflation tables and are designed to carry different loads at
different pressures.

252

WARNING!(Continued)
•LT-metric tires carry their load at higher inflation pressures and do
not always have adequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of
the same size.
• After reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for
fitment on a Light Truck, the P-metric tire may not offer sufficient
load capacity to replace an LT-metric tire of the same size.
• Contact your Toyo Tires dealer or Toyo Tires Technical Service for
help determining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• Driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in
immediate tire failure, which can cause an accident and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV, pickup,
minivan), the load rating is reduced by dividing by 1.1. (This load
reduction factor is prescribed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and is based on the expectation that passenger-type tires may
experience more severe loading and usage conditions when applied to
light trucks.) For example, 305/50R20 has a maximum load capacity of
3086 lbs. If this tire is fitted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for
the tire is 2805 lbs. (3086 lbs. divided by 1.1).
Consult the load and inflation charts that can be found at
www.toyotires.com. Contact Toyo Tires Technical Service with any tire
replacement questions: 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696
(Eastern Time).

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.
