4. A tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km) can be expected dependingon road conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life,
the spare should be returned to the trunk as soon as the standard tire
can be repaired or replaced.
5. Because the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.
6. Do not use snow chains on your YOKOHAMA high pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7. When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare tire.
8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60 psi (4.2 kg/cm2) even when not in use. Do not inflate over 60 psi.
9. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be
used on the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire rim on which the
YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was originally installed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
All tires require owner maintenance regardless of how well a tire is
constructed. Operational damages such as punctures, impact damage, cuts,
incorrect inflation, etc., may cause tire failure and subsequent personal
injury and/or property damage. Simple operational and maintenance
practices, as listed below, will reduce the chances of tire problems.
Tire Inspection
Visually inspect your tires frequently for any tire damage such as scrapes,
bulges, cuts, nails, irregular wear, etc. resulting from operation. This must
be done immediately after any known or suspected contact with an object
in the road, a pothole, road irregularity or after severe braking. Refer
these conditions to a reputable tire service center for repair or replace-
ment. Never drive on a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
placard, tire information label or in the owners manual. Be aware of the
load carrying limits molded into the tire’s sidewall and do not exceed
those limits. Maximum load can only be carried at the maximum cold
inflation pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.

Speed Limits
Regardless of the speed capability of your tires, never exceed lawful
speeds or speeds dictated by driving conditions.
Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely
avoided. These objects include: potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood debris
and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough tire inspec-
tion.
Air Pressure
Air pressure maintenance is critical to tire service life. Tire pressures must
be checked frequently when tires are cold (before operation, cool to the
touch) and no less than once per month and before extended operation.
Use a tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it per the vehicle
manufacturer ’s recommendations (on vehicle placard or in owner ’s
manual). Do not reduce pressure when tire is hot and do not inflate a cold
tire higher than limits molded on the tire’s sidewall. Do not overlook
spare tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch
(1.6 mm). YOKOHAMA tires are manufactured with tread wear indica-
tors molded into the tire grooves which indicate tread wearout. As tires
wear down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), and tread depth is reduced, tire
traction is reduced during rainfall and winter road conditions. Visual tire
inspection therefore becomes more crucial as the tires wear out.
Hard Braking
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking situations or after tires
have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot or other damage to
the tread of the tire.
Spinning
•Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35 mph if vehicle
becomes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a vehicle.
Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode and may
cause property damage and/or personal injury.
