at 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 utilit\
y
vehicle, or a trailer.

TOYO TIRE
240
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).

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.

The letters “DOT” certify compliance with all applicable safety
standards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT). Adjacent to this is a tire identification or serial number. This
serial number is a code with up to 12 digits that are a combination
of numbers and letters. The last characters are numbers identifying
the week and year of manufacture. (For example, “1502” means the
fifteenth week of the year 2002.)
The DOT requires tire manufacturers to grade passenger car tires
based on three performance factors: Treadwear, Traction and
Temperature resistance. (See the “Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)” section for more details.)
The sidewall also shows the type of cord and the number of plies in the \
sidewall and under the tread.

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 th\
e
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 their use and may vary
due to driving habits, service practices, differences in road
characteristics, and climate.
•
Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B,
and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
• Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperatures can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance that all
passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.

federal requirements in addition to these grades.
DOT SERIAL NUMBER SYSTEM
TIRE REGISTRATION
Your original equipment tires are registered through the vehicle
manufacturer.
When you purchase replacement Toyo brand tires, the seller is
required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to
present you with a tire registration form. Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.

TOYO TIRE
245
provides a registration card at no charge to all Toyo Tires dealers. The
dealer must fill in the dealer name, address, and serial numbers of
the tires purchased. You, the buyer, should then fill in your name and
address, place a stamp on the form, and mail it to the pre-addressed
location on the form. Be sure to have your dealer complete their portion
of the registration card included in this Limited Warranty at the time
of purchase. The information contained in the registration card is an
important means to notify you in the event of a product recall.
If you prefer, you may register your tires on our web page at www.
toyotires.com and select “Tire Registration.” Be prepared to provide
the name and address of the dealer, the quantity of tires, and the DOT
serial numbers from the sidewall of the tires.
IMPORTANT! If self-registering tires, make sure to include all letters
and numbers (up to 12 digits) following the letters “DOT” on the tire’s
sidewall near the bead. If you see only four letters next to the letters\

“DOT”, look on the other side of the tire for the full DOT number.
