Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size,
construction, and speed rating may be used in a five-tire rotation
pattern.
After rotation, check the inflation pressure of all the tires. The front
an
d rear tire pressures may vary according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s specifications.
Remember to follow your vehicle Owner’s Manual for tire rotation
in
tervals. Your Limited Warranty recommends Toyo brand tires to be
rotated as follows:
• Every 3,500
miles or less for high performance (low profile) tires.

• Every 7,500 m
iles or less for standard passenger and light truck tires.

More frequent rotation or a thorough vehicle inspection may be
necessary if, upon inspection, irregular or erratic treadwear is
beginning to appear.
It is important to remember the following:
• These tire rotation recommendations do not take into account
d
ifferent tire and construction types mixed on the vehicle.
• Some tires cannot be rotated in the manner described. Such tires
i
nclude unidirectional tires. Unidirectional tread patterns must be
rotated front-to-rear only so that the direction of revolution does not
change.
• Some vehicles are designed with different tire sizes on the front and
r
ear axles. Normally, such combinations will not allow rotation.
Prior to rotating, consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
• For vehicles with dual rear wheels, see the vehicle Owner’s Manual
f
or the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures. If your vehicle Owner’s
Manual is not available, please contact the vehicle manufacturer.
• Some vehicles are equipped with wheels that limit the choice of
r
otation pattern. Consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
• Do not include temporary spare tires in the rotation pattern.
H
owever, if your spare tire is the same size and type as a road tire
(for LT tires of the same size, type, and load rating), it should be
included in the tire rotation process. The proper procedure is to use
the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire rotation procedures,
or if not available, to use the appropriate rotation pattern shown,
inserting the spare in the right rear position. Place the tire that
would have gone to the right rear in the spare tire storage position
as the new spare.
• Important! After rotation, adjust the pressure of the individual tires
t
o the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation or the inflation pres-
sure recommended by Toyo Tires for an optional fitment according
to
the tire’s new location on the vehicle.
• Do not mix speed-rated tires on the same axle. Higher speed-rated
t
ires must remain on the rear axle. Consult an authorized Toyo Tires
dealer.

TIRE SPEED RATING
All Toyo Tires® passenger, light truck, and truck tires have a
ma
ximum speed rating based on size and type. Tires must never be
operated in excess of their rated speed limit! Consult your tire dealer
or contact Toyo Tires at 1-800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or
1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time) if you are not sure about the maximum
speed rating of your tires.
Toyo Tires® does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an
u n

safe or unlawful manner. Obey all local speed limits.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven at
th
e speed for which the tire is rated. Speed ratings are based on
laboratory tests and relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged,
or altered.
WARNING!
No tire, regardless of its design or speed rating, has an unlimited
ca
pacity for speed. Exceeding the tire’s speed capability could
cause overheating and sudden tire failure, possibly leading to loss
of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
High-speed driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may
re
sult in immediate tire failure, possibly leading to loss of vehicle
control, which could cause an accident, including serious personal
injury or death.

EXPLANATION OF TIRE SPEED SYMBOLS
A speed rating is designated by a letter that indicates the maximum
s p

eed capability of a tire. The speed rating of a tire is based on
standards for reaching and sustaining a specified speed, and is
determined via laboratory tests that simulate road performance at
various speeds.
Tires may be marked with one of these speed symbols: M, N, P, Q, R,
S,
T, U, H, V, W, Y, or (Y) to identify the particular tire’s speed rating.
Additionally, the letter Z may appear in the size designation.
When purchasing or replacing speed-rated tires, make sure to:
• Use the ranking in the following chart to compare the speed
s
ymbols of all the tires.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, if any,
c
oncerning the use of speed-rated tires.
To avoid reducing the speed capability of the vehicle, replace a
sp
eed-rated tire only with another tire having at least the same or
higher speed rating. Remember, the “top speed” of the “lowest rated”
tire on the car cannot be exceeded without risk of tire failure.

The letter symbols and corresponding design speeds are:
* Any tire with a speed capability above 149 mph (240 km/h) can, at
t h

e tire manufacturer’s option, include a “Z” in the size designation
(e.g., 245/40ZR18). If the load index and the speed symbol are not
included, the tire manufacturer must be consulted for the maximum
speed capability (P245/40ZR18 speed capability is greater than
149 mph [240 km/h]). If a service description is included with the size
de

scription, the speed capability is limited by the speed symbol in the
service description (i.e., 235/45ZR17 97W = maximum speed 168 mph
[2

70 km/h]).
** Although no upper limit speed is specified, the indicated tires
no
netheless have limited rated speed capability. Call 1-800-442-8696
(Pacific Time) or 1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time) for a referral for more
technical information.
Speed-Rated Symbol Speed Category
M Up to 81 mph (130 km/h)
N Up to 87 mph (140 km/h)
P Up to 93 mph (150 km/h)

dr
iven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated,
particularly under adverse road and weather conditions, or if the
vehicle has unusual characteristics. Never operate a vehicle in an
unsafe or unlawful manner.

TIRE SPINNING
TOWING OR USE OF SLIDE-IN TRUCK CAMPERS
If you are towing a trailer or using a slide-in truck camper, refer to
y o

ur vehicle Owner’s Manual.
WINTER (SNOW) TIRES Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle
handling. The use of winter tires, studs, and chains,
wh
ile improving traction performance in snow and ice,
requires additional caution and care with regard to
braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive
with care not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet
roads as well.
• T raction is considerably reduced as snow tires approach 50% tread
w
ear, and replacement should be considered in order to maintain
effectiveness in heavy snow conditions.
• Tire speed rating – When lower-speed-rated winter tires replace
h
igher-speed-rated touring and high performance all-season radial
tires, do not exceed the lower-rated speed.
WARNING!
Spinning a tire to remove a vehicle stuck in mud, snow, or wet
gr
ass can be dangerous. This could cause serious personal injury
or death to a bystander or passenger and extensive vehicle
damage. A tire spinning at a speedometer reading above 35 miles
pe

r hour (55 km/h) can reach a speed capable of disintegrating a
ti

re with explosive force within a matter of seconds. Under some
conditions, a tire may be spinning at twice the speed shown on
the speedometer. Never spin a tire above a speedometer reading
of 35 mph (55 km/h). Never allow anyone to stand near or directly
be

hind the spinning tire. Do not spin if a drive wheel is off the
ground.
WARNING!
Studded tires may require longer braking distances on dry or wet
pa
ved surfaces. Failure to allow for adequate braking distance
could result in serious personal injury or death.

• Follow recommendations in the vehicle Owner’s Manual for winter
tires, studs, and chains.
• Consult your tire dealer, the Rubber Manufacturers Association
w
ebsite

www.rma.org
, or your state’s Department of Transportation
(DOT) for information regarding regulatory and seasonal restric -
tions for stud usage.
• Also see the “Tire Mixing” section in this manual for more details.
•
Toyo Tires recommends that snow tires be installed in matched sets

ADVERSE WEATHER DRIVING
Take special care when driving in adverse weather conditions.
• Rain and snow – Driving in rain or snow considerably reduces the
t
raction between your tires and the road surface. You must always
reduce your speed to allow additional stopping distance between
you and the vehicles ahead of you.
• Hydroplaning and wet weather driving – Hydroplaning occurs on
w
et roads and refers to the loss of tire contact with the road due to
the build-up of water between the tire contact patch and the road
surface. Three main factors affect hydroplaning and, consequently,
your tire traction on wet roads:
1. Vehicle Speed – As speed increases, wet traction is considerably
r
educed.
2. Water Depth – The deeper the water, the sooner your tires will lose
t
raction. Even thin water layers can create sufficient lubrication to
cause traction loss at low speeds, depending on road conditions.
3. Tire Tread Depth – As your tires wear down, their decreased ability
t
o resist hydroplaning can result in a complete loss of traction and
vehicle control. You should always reduce your speed with consid -
eration for the traffic around you.

• Driving on ice and snow – Your all-season tires were designed to
p
rovide higher levels of snow traction compared to non-all- season
tires. You have all-season tires if you find the letters “M&S” are
molded into the sidewall near the bead. These letters mean “Mud and
Snow.” Tires designed for use in severe snow conditions generally
have tread patterns, structure, and materials for giving superior
performance. These tires are marked with the “M&S” designation

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY
244

plus a mountain/snowflake symbol . Even the best all-season tires
will not provide acceptable levels of traction if you drive too fast in
snow or ice conditions and if you do not allow more stopping
distance on icy roads compared to dry road surfaces. Your ability to
safely maneuver your vehicle in snow or ice conditions is consider -
ably reduced if your tires are too worn to provide adequate road grip.

SAFE USE OF TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
• T he temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must
n
ot be used continuously as a standard tire. The temporary spare
tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as it is convenient to
have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
• The temporary spare tire should not be used for speeds exceeding
5
0 mph.
• Never use chains on temporary spare tires, because it could cause
d
amage to your vehicle.
• When you replace the temporary tire, replace it only with the same
t
ype of tire.
• A full-size spare tire in your vehicle is intended for use as a spare
w
hen needed. Please see the “Tire Rotation” section for the proper
procedures for including the same size construction and
speed-rated tire (for LT tires of the same size, type, and load rating)
in the rotation pattern. Do not rotate a temporary spare tire.
WARNING!
The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a different size
an
d construction from the other tires on your vehicle. When using
any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to observe recommended
precautions could lead to erratic vehicle behavior and/or tire
damage, possibly resulting in an accident and serious personal
injury or death.
