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.

Tire Safety and Maintenance Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or
service procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing,
rotation, or repair. Please leave these tasks to qualified tire
service professionals

TOYO TIRE

Important factors in tire care are:•
Proper inflation pressure
•
Proper vehicle loading
•
Proper vehicle maintenance
•
Regular inspection
•
Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.
TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months
along with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could
add up to a severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to
check your tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month. Inflation
pressure enables a tire to support its load; therefore, proper inflation
is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated
just by looking at them.
