10. Tire Rotation
Pirelli recommends that you follow the tire rotation procedure as
de
fined in your vehicle owner’s manual. If there is no procedure, PTI
recommends tire rotation every 8,000 to 11,000 kilometers to optimize
your tire wear.
11. Tire Repair
Punctures, nail holes or cuts located in the tread area of Pirelli radial
ti
res may be repaired if the diameter does not exceed six mm. The
repair material used must seal the inner liner and fill the injury to be
considered a permanent repair. Tire and Rubber Association of
Canada and industry approved repair methods include a combination
of plug and patch; chemical or hot vulcanizing patches, and head type
plugs, all applied from inside the tire. A self-vulcanizing plug repair
may be used only in conjunction with a patch repair, but not by itself.
Plugs may cause further damage to the tire, they are not always
airtight and the plug may fail. If a tire puncture exceeds six mm or is
located in the shoulder or sidewall deflection areas, the tire must be
replaced. Never resort to tubes (in tubeless tires) or sleeves or large
thick patches, which can upset the balance and may result in a sudden
failure at highway speeds and high operating temperatures.
PIRELLI TIRE DOES NOT ENDORSE:
• T he use of tire sealants in Pirelli tires to repair, even temporarily, a
p
uncture
• The repairing of V, W, Y or Z Speed Rated tires
•
The repairing of Run Flat tires
WARNING!
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous, as the tire
ca
n suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and serious
personal injury or death.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This Limited Warranty does not cover the following categories of
cl
aims:
Rapid Treadwear: Original equipment tires are not guaranteed to last
a
specified number of miles.
Damage from road hazards (not limited to cuts, snags, bruises, impact
br
eaks, bulges, punctures, stone drills, chips, and scales), fire, theft, or
collision.
Conditions arising from improper tire/vehicle maintenance or use,
no
t limited to:
• Irregular or excessive treadwear due to: Incorrect inflation; over -
l
oading; vehicle misalignment; failure to rotate tires; and poor or
de
fective mechanical condition of brakes, shocks, and wheels; or
other factors attributable to the vehicle or wheel.
• Any tire which has been run with low air pressure or while flat.
•
Damage due to abuse; vandalism; tire alteration; tire spinning;
r
acing; or other competitive activities.
• Damage, corrosion, or deterioration from using oil-based chemicals,
w
ater-based sealers, balancing substances, or flammable gases.
• Damage from improper use of tire chains.
T

ires with the DOT identification number removed or rendered
il
legible.
Improper mounting, balancing or repair, not limited to:
• Improper tire mounting, or tire/wheel assembly imbalance.
•
Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incor -
r
ect wheel size, water or other material trapped inside the tire
du
ring mounting, or failure to keep the tires balanced.
• Damage resulting from improper repair materials or procedures.
F

ailure to meet conditions of this Limited Warranty, not limited to:
• Any tire that is not an Eligible Tire.
•
Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records are not avail -
a
ble or verifiable.
• Any tire not presented and available for Toyo Tires’ inspection.
•
Any tire worn beyond the treadwear indicators (less than 2/32” of
r
emaining tread).
• Uniformity issues after the first 25% of treadwear.

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.

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing one psi per month over several months
al
ong with a one 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.

219
It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, which can be purchased at your tire dealer or auto supply
store.
Under inflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
mo
nth, including for the spare tire, to make sure it is up to
specification. Check it again before long trips or when carrying extra
weight.
Look for FCA US LLC’s recommended inflation pressure listed on the
Ti
re Information Placard usually located on your vehicle’s door edge,
door post, glove box, or inside the trunk lid.

CAUTION!
The inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire is not the
in
tended inflation pressure for the vehicle. Always refer to the
vehicle’s Tire Information Placard.
WARNING!
Driving on tires with insufficient inflation pressure is dangerous
be
cause it will cause your tires to overheat. This can cause sudden
tire failure, which may result in loss of vehicle control and lead to
serious personal injury or death.

USING A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE
For accuracy, check your inflation pressure with a tire pressure gauge
wh
en tires are cold for example, after being parked overnight. Driving
heats up tires and causes an inaccurate pressure reading.
To check inflation pressure with a tire pressure gauge:
1. Remove the tire valve cap.
2. P lace the end of the tire pressure gauge over the valve.
3
. P ress the tire pressure gauge straight and firmly and take a reading.
4
. I f needed, inflate and recheck the pressure with the tire pressure
ga
uge.
5. R eplace the valve cap.
