TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY
248
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 utility
vehicle, or a trailer.
When a P-metric or metric tire is installed on a light truck (SUV,
p i
ckup, 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).
Consult the load and inflation charts that can be found at
www.toyotires.com
. Contact Toyo Tires® Technical Service with any tire
replacement questions: 1-
800-442-8696 (Pacific Time) or
1-888-444-8696 (Eastern Time).
WARNING!
• P-metric and LT-metric tires are not necessarily interchangeable.
P
-metric and LT-metric tires follow completely different Load/
Inflation tables and are designed to carry different loads at
different pressures.
• LT-metric tires carry their load at higher inflation pressures and
d
o not always have adequate load capacity to replace P-metric
tires of the same size.
• After reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for
f
itment on a Light Truck, the P-metric tire may not offer suffi -
cient load capacity to replace an LT-metric tire of the same size.
• Contact your Toyo Tires dealer or Toyo Tires Technical Service
f
or help determining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• Driving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in
i
mmediate tire failure, which can cause an accident and could
lead to serious personal injury or death.

5. CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS
The customer must present the claim tire, together with the vehicle on
wh
ich it was used, to an authorized YOKOHAMA retail tire dealer.
Tires replaced on a warranty basis become the property of
YOKOHAMA TIRE CORPORATION.
The customer is required to pay the adjusted price of the new tire
(d
ealer’s current retail selling price at the time of adjustment less
credit allowance) and taxes. The customer is responsible for any
payments arising out of dealer service such as mounting, balancing,
tire rotation, and alignment UNLESS SPECIALLY INCLUDED IN
THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY.
To obtain a free-replacement warranty, the customer must present
pr
oof of vehicle purchase date either by the new vehicle invoice or
license registration.
6. LEGAL RIGHTS
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other
ri
ghts which may vary from state to state.
YOKOHAMA TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE
High Pressure Spare Operating Instructions
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper
ma
intenance or service factors. Tire failure may create a risk of
property damage and serious or fatal injury. For your safety, please
follow the instructions below.
1. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire is designed for tempo -
r
ary use only and must not be used continually as a regular tire.
2. Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through
i
mpact or cutting, such as potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3. Speed must not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h) for non-speed-rated
Te
mporary Spare tires.
4. A tread life of up to 3,000
miles (4,800 km) can be expected
de
pending on road conditions and your driving habits. To
conserve tire tread life, the spare should be returned to the trunk as
soon as the standard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5. Because the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was specifically
d
esigned for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.

6. Do not use snow chains on your YOKOHAMA high pressure
spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7. When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only
w
ith the same type spare tire.
8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60
p
si (4.2 kg/cm2) even when not in use. Do not inflate over 60 psi.
9. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire should not be used with
a
ny other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings
be used on the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire rim on which
the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was originally installed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
All tires require owner maintenance regardless of how well a tire is
co
nstructed. Operational damages such as punctures, impact
damage, cuts, incorrect inflation, etc., may cause tire failure and
subsequent personal injury and/or property damage. Simple
operational and maintenance practices, as listed below, will reduce
the chances of tire problems.
Tire Inspection
Visually inspect your tires frequently for any tire damage such as
sc
rapes, bulges, cuts, nails, irregular wear, etc. resulting from
operation. This must be done immediately after any known or
suspected contact with an object in the road, a pothole, road
irregularity or after severe braking. Refer these conditions to a
reputable tire service center for repair or replacement. Never drive on
a tire if such conditions appear.
Tire Loading
Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limit listed on the vehicle
pl
acard, tire information label or in the Owners Manual. Be aware of
the load carrying limits molded into the tire’s sidewall and do not
exceed those limits. Maximum load can only be carried at the
maximum cold inflation pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
Speed Limits
Regardless of the speed capability of your tires, never exceed lawful
sp
eeds or speeds dictated by driving conditions.

Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely
av
oided. These objects include: potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood
debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough
tire inspection.
Air Pressure
Air pressure maintenance is critical to tire service life. Tire pressures
mu
st be checked frequently when tires are cold (before operation, cool
to the touch) and no less than once per month and before extended
operation. Use a tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it per the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations (on vehicle placard or in
Owner’s Manual). Do not reduce pressure when tire is hot and do not
inflate a cold tire higher than limits molded on the tire’s sidewall. Do
not overlook spare tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch
(1
.6 mm). YOKOHAMA tires are manufactured with tread wear
in
dicators molded into the tire grooves which indicate tread wearout.
As tires wear down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), and tread depth is reduced,
ti
re traction is reduced during rainfall and winter road conditions.
Visual tire inspection therefore becomes more crucial as the tires wear
out.
Hard Braking
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking situations or after
ti
res have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot or other
damage to the tread of the tire.
Spinning
• Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35
mph if vehicle
be
comes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a
v
ehicle. Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode
and may cause property damage and/or personal injury.
