5. DOT Street Legal Competition Tires
P Zero Trofeo and P Zero Corsa tire lines use special tire construction
an
d compounds to achieve their distinctive performance in dry
conditions. As a result of that, their performance in cold temperatures,
heavy rain or standing water will be decreased. Use extreme caution
and drive slowly on wet roads.
The minimum tread depth will be reached earlier than normal road
ti
res, resulting in reduced tread life.
6. Winter Tires
The standard Pirelli tires may be effective in light snow conditions.
Ho
wever, for winter use, you may wish to install winter tires. During
winter use, Pirelli strongly recommends the fitment of four winter
tires. Please check your vehicle owner’s manual concerning winter tire
size recommendation. If the winter tires have a lower speed rating
than the original equipment tires, vehicle handling may be affected,
and the vehicle maximum speed must be reduced to the winter tire
speed rating.
Pirelli requires
that studded tires be installed on all four positions.
Installing studded tires only on the drive positions of any vehicle,
including a front wheel drive vehicle, may cause adverse handling
characteristics.
7. Run Flat Tires
Always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual with respect to specific
sa
fety and operating information relating to the vehicle. Damaged
Run Flat tires or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure
should immediately be replaced with another Run Flat tire of identical
size and Service Description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat tires have been developed based on the specifications of the
ve
hicles on which they are mounted. Accordingly, Run Flat tires
should only be mounted on vehicles specifically manufactured to
accommodate Run Flat tires.
Run Flat tires must be mounted in conjunction with a functional Tire
Pr
essure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The mounting of tires and installation of the TPMS should be carried
ou
t by a specialized dealer.

TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
pr
ocedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or
repair. Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
Inflation pressure can decrease by one psi for every 10°F temperature
d r
op Important factors in tire care are:
• Proper inflation pressure
•
Proper vehicle loading
•
Proper vehicle maintenance
•
Regular inspection
•
Good driving habits
R
efer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for additional tire safety and
se
rvice advice.
WARNING!
• Toyo Tires® are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no
m
atter how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures,
impact damage, underinflation/overloading or other conditions
resulting from use. Tire failures may create a risk of property
damage or personal injury. To obtain the highest possible
performance, tires must be maintained properly.
• Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed
o
n your vehicle.

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.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED TIRES
• I f your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage
c
ould result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control. Tire failure may even occur miles after the initial
impact. Impact damage from such hazards may not be visible on the
outside of the tire. Have your Toyo Tires® dealer dismount the tire
and inspect it for damage. A tire may not have visible signs of
damage on the tire surface or the interior.
• If the impact was sufficient to bend the wheel flange, internal tire
d
amage may have occurred, compromising the safety and integrity
of the tire. Such impact damage may result in a sudden tire failure
many weeks or months later. Tire replacement is highly recom -
mended as a safety precaution.
• Indications of impact damage include, but are not limited to, a
b
ubble or a blister on the outside of the tire.
• Have your dealer inspect your tires if you see anything unusual or
i
f cuts, cracks, splitting, or bruises in the tread and sidewall areas are
visible. Bumps or bulges may indicate a serious and dangerous
separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected by a qual -
ified tire service person. It may be necessary to have the tire
re
moved from the wheel for a complete inspection.
WARNING!
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, read the vehicle Owner’s
Ma
nual regarding its operation. Some TPMS systems do not alert
you until the tires are significantly underinflated, which could
result in permanent tire damage and possible sudden tire failure.
In the event that your TPMS malfunction indicator lamp is
displayed, you should immediately pull over to a safe parking
area and check your tires.

Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger car tires may be repaired and
returned to service under the following conditions:
• Proper repair materials and procedures have been used.
•
The damage or puncture is not larger than 1/4” (6.4
mm) in diam-
eter.
• The repair will be the first repair performed on that tire. (Only one
r
epair per tire is permitted in order to maintain a limited speed
rating.)
• The tire must have more than 2/32” (1.6
mm) of tread remaining.
Toyo Tires speed-rated passenger tires that have been properly
re
paired qualify for reduced speed ratings as follows:
The maximum speed of a vehicle is limited by the lowest-speed- rated
ti
re on the car.
PROPER SELECTION OF TIRES
When tires need to be replaced, do not guess what tire is right for your
v e
hicle. First look at the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire
Information Placard. They tell you the size of the tires that were on the
vehicle as original equipment.
Replacement tires for any vehicle must be of a size, load range, and
lo
ad capacity (by inflation) that is capable of supporting the same load
as the vehicle’s Original Equipment (OE) installed tires. Avoid
installing used tires on a vehicle. There is no way to determine what
road hazards or abuse a previously owned tire may have incurred.
ORIGINAL SPEED RATING AFTER PUNCTURE REPAIR
(Y), Y, W, Z, V, VR, H H (maximum speed 130 mph)
T T

CAUTION!
A tire’s speed rating is void if the tire has been retreaded,
da
maged, abused, or otherwise altered from its original condition.
Thereafter, it should be treated as a non-speed-rated tire. In
addition, retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not
warranted by Toyo Tires for any reason. Toyo Tires speed ratings
are voided for retreaded tires.

CONSIDERATIONS IN PLUS SIZING
Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement
ti
re recommendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may
specifically advise against the application of replacement tires that are
not of the original size or type.
TIRE AND WHEEL MATCHING AND MOUNTING
WARNING!
Any attempt to mount a tire on a wheel with a different diameter
wi
ll result in an explosion of the tire/wheel assembly that could
cause severe personal injury or death.
Prior to mounting any tire, always check the wheel identification
st
amp to verify the correct wheel diameter. Always check the tire
size molded onto the sidewall.
Never exceed 40 psi when seating the tire beads onto the wheel.
Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is
es
pecially important when the service operator inflates the tire. If
the tire has been improperly mounted, it could burst with
explosive force causing serious personal injury or death.
A new valve stem must be installed on the wheel each time a
wo
rn out passenger or light truck tire is replaced.
Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.
Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures
co
uld result in a tire explosion, causing serious personal injury or
death. This is a job for your authorized Toyo Tires dealer or other
qualified tire service location only.
Serious personal injury or death can result from:
• Failure to select the proper tire and wheel. The tire must match
t
he width and diameter requirements of the wheel. When
mounting truck type radial tires use only wheels approved for
radial tires.
• Failure to inspect both the tire and wheel. The wheel must be
f
ree of cracks, dents, chips, and rust. The tire must be free of bead
damage, cuts, and punctures.
