minimum tread depth and they may be dangerous if left in service.
Tires should be removed from service for numerous reasons,
including tread worn down to minimum depth, damage or abuse
(including, without limitation, punctures, cuts, impacts, cracks, bulges,
under inflation, overloading, etc.). For these reasons, tires, including
spares, should be inspected at least once a month and before long
trips. Inspection should occur regardless of whether the vehicle is
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. In addition to these
visual conditions, consumers should take note of and address any
change in performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration or \
other factors.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate,
but rather exposure to outside forces. The service life of a tire is a
function of service and storage conditions. For each individual tire,
this service life is determined by many factors such as temperature/
weather, storage conditions, and service conditions (e.g., load, speed,
inflation pressure, maintenance, and road hazard damage, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected throughout its life. Since service and storage
conditions vary widely, accurately predicting the service life of any
specific tire based on chronological age is not possible. There is no
scientific or technical data that establishes or identifies a minimum
or maximum service life, but the longer a tire has been in service,
the greater the chance that it will need to be replaced due to service-
related conditions.
Only use a mild soap solution to clean tires and rinse the soap off with
low pressure tap water, use of high-pressure sprayers may cause
damage. Never apply cleaners or other products to enhance sidewall
or tire appearance to avoid removal of substances which are intended
to protect the tire and reduce rubber degradation associated with the
impact of ozone and other environmental conditions.
The removal of these substances may degrade the rubber and can
lead to sidewall cracking. To remove the protective film from a Pirelli
tire with white letters, first flood the area with a stream of water from a
hose. After a minute or two the film will soften and it can be removed
with soft nylon brush if needed.

WHAT TOYO TIRES WILL DO
For every Eligible Tire, Toyo Tires will do the following:
Regular OE Tires 1.
If less than 25% Worn: Toyo Tires will replace, free of charge,
any Eligible Tire when the original usable tread is worn by 25% or
less, and within 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle
new. If you cannot provide a copy of the new vehicle registration
or vehicle purchase receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as
indicated by the tire DOT code, will be used instead to determine
if a tire is within the warranty period. Tire mounting and balancing
costs are covered by Toyo Tires. You are responsible for taxes
and all other costs, fees and expenses.
2.
If more than 25% Worn: Toyo Tires will replace any Eligible Tire
when the original usable tread is worn by more than 25%, and
within 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle new. If you
cannot provide a copy of the new vehicle registration or vehicle
purchase receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as indicated
by the tire DOT code, will be used instead to determine if a tire is
within the warranty period. You are responsible for the pro-
rated cost of a replacement tire, mounting and balancing
costs, taxes and all other costs, fees and expenses.

Temporary Spare Tire1.
If less than 50% Worn: Toyo Tires will replace, free of charge,
any Eligible Tire when the original usable tread is worn by 50% or
less, and within 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle
new. If you cannot provide a copy of the new vehicle registration
or vehicle purchase receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as
indicated by the tire DOT code, will be used instead to determine
if the tire is within the warranty period. Tire mounting and
balancing costs are covered by Toyo Tires. You are responsible
for taxes and all other costs, fees and expenses.
2.
If more than 50% Worn: Toyo Tires will replace any Eligible Tire
when the original usable tread is worn by more than 50%, and
within 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle new. If you
cannot provide a copy of the new vehicle registration or vehicle
purchase receipt, the manufacture date of the tire, as indicated
by the tire DOT code, will be used instead to determine if the
tire is within the warranty period. You are responsible for the
pro-rated cost of a replacement tire, mounting and balancing
costs, taxes and all other costs, fees and expenses.
The original usable tread is determined by measuring the depth on
the tread of an identical model of a new Toyo brand tire to the top of
the treadwear indicator bars (note: the original usable tread depth will
vary by tire model).
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
[(Original usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable tread)]x (Actual current dealer selling price).
A comparable Toyo brand tire is the same tire, or a tire of the same
basic construction and quality, as the original tire, as determined by
Toyo Tires.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM
To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must: 1.
Present your vehicle with the subject tire(s), to an authorized Toyo
Tires dealer.

It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire
pressure gauge, which can be purchased at your tire dealer
or auto supply store.
Underinflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
month, including for the spare tire, to make sure it’s up to specification.
Check it again before long trips or when carrying extra weight.
Look for the manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure listed
on the Tire Information Placard usually located on your vehicle’s door
edge, door post, glove box, or inside the trunk lid.

• Over-inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to
impact damage.
•
Over-inflation or underinflation may adversely affect vehicle
handling.
•
Remember to check your spare tire. Consult your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for the correct inflation pressure and use of a “temporary
use” spare tire. The inflation pressure specified for a spare tire is
typically different from that specified for your regular tires.
•
Use valve caps to keep valve cores clean and clear of debris and
to help guard against air leakage.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEMS (TPMS)
Even if your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system,\

you should check your tire pressure at least once per month when the
tires are cold (for example, after being parked overnight). Tire pressure
warning systems are not a substitute for regular tire
pressure maintenance.

• Match tire size designations in pairs on an axle, except during the
temporary use of a spare tire.
•
If two radial tires and two non-radial tires are used on a vehicle, put
the radials on the rear axle. If radial and non-radial tires are used
on a vehicle equipped with dual rear tires, the radial tires may be
used on either axle.
SPEED-RATED TIRES •
If the vehicle Tire Information Placard and/or the vehicle Owner’s
Manual specifies speed-rated tires, the replacement tires must
have the same or higher speed rating to maintain vehicle speed
capability.
•
If a replacement tire has a lower speed capability than that
specified by the vehicle manufacturer, the vehicle’s speed must
be restricted to that of the replacement tire. Vehicle handling
could also be affected. Consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire
manufacturer for recommendations.
•
If tires with different speed ratings are used, it is recommended
that the lower-speed-rated tires always be placed on the front axle.
This is to prevent a potential oversteer condition.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
(AWD) VEHICLES
If no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle Owner’s Manual,
follow these guidelines: •
Do not mix tire sizes. All four tires must be marked with the same
tire size, unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer .
This also applies to winter/snow tires.
•
Do not mix tread pattern types such as all-terrain and all-season.
STUDLESS WINTER/SNOW TIRES •
It is always preferable to apply winter/snow tires to all wheel
positions, including dual tires, to maintain vehicle mobility
and control.
•
If winter/snow tires are applied to the front axle of any vehicle,
winter/snow tires must also be installed on the rear axle. DO NOT
apply winter/snow tires only to the front axle. This applies to all

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.
