7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
Tire Labeling
Please refer to the sample below.
Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized
information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identi-
fies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire
and also provides a tire identif ication number for safety stan-
dard certification and in case of a recall.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
■Maximum Load Rating
This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire.
■Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure
This number is the greatest amoun t of air pressure that should ever
be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.
■Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature Grades
●Tread wear: The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based
on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled condi -
tions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on
the government course as a tire graded 100.
● Traction: The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA, A ,
B, and C. The grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on we t
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction performance.
● Temperature: The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and
C, representing the tire’s res istance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat w hen tested under controlled cond i-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
■Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local governments may require true
snow tires, those with very deeply cut tread. These tires shoul d only
be used in pairs or placed on all four wheels. Make sure you pu r-
chase snow tires that are the sa me size and construction type as
the other tires on your vehicle.
■SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears on the tire’s sidewall. SE RI-
OUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM: • EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING-MATCH TIRE DIAMETER TO RIM DIAMETER;
NEVER EXCEED 40 psi (275 kPa) TO SEAT BEADS-ONLY
SPECIALLY TRAINED PERSONS SHOULD MOUNT TIRES.
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDE R-INFLATION/OVERLOADING/
DAMAGE-FOLLOW OWNER’S MANUAL AND PLACARD IN
VEHICLE-FREQUENTLY CHECK INFLATION PRESSURE AND
INSPECT FOR DAMAGE.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cold -
meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile.
Remove the cap from t he valve on one tire.
Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with your ti re
gauge.
Replace the valve cap.
Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or o ther
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause a n
air leak.
Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts,
bulges, cracks or other irregularities.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure.
WARNING
■Always check the tire inflation pressures on a regular basis ac cord-
ing to the recommended tire inflation pressure on the tire labe l and
in conjunction with the informa tion in this owner’s manual
Driving your vehicle with unde r-inflated tires is dangerous.
Under-inflation is the most commo n cause of failures in any kind of tire
and may result in severe cracking, tread separation or “blowout ”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under-
inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, re sulting in
heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It results in unn ecessary
tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A t ire can lose
up to half of its air pressur e and not appear to be flat!
It is impossible to determine whether or not tires are properly inflated
just by look ing at them.

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. Replace the tire when this happens.
You should replace the tire before the band crosses the entire tread.

Tread wear indicator
Tires degrade over time, even wh en they are not being used on the road.
It is recommended that tires gen erally be replaced when they are 6 years
or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when
you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indi-
cated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 522.
The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and
safety. So cultivate good driving habits for your own benefit. • Observe posted speed limits and drive at speeds that are safe for
the existing weather conditions
• Avoid fast starts , stops and turns
• Avoid potholes and objects on the road
• Do not run over curbs or hit th e tire against the curb when pa rking

WARNING
■Always use tires that are in good condition
Driving with worn tires is dangero us. Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Safety Practices

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the
vehicle can handle without risk ing damage. The GCW must never
exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and do ing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can
have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too muc h
weight on a vehicle’s suspensi on system can cause spring or sho ck
absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular
tire wear, tire failu re or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It als o
increases the distance required for stopping. In cases of serio us over-
loading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep grad es. The
load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of t he tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s wei ght rat-
ings from the vehicle’s Safety C ertification and Tire and Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating lim its is dan-
gerous and could result in death or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard vehicle handling, performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification l abel is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than
the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAW R
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the ori ginals do
not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Never exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
