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.

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

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.

When a tire has worn past the above specified period for free replacement,
the customer must pay for the cost of a new comparable YOKOHAMA
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 replace-
ment. 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.
