alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires which have been
ran underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the
center of the tread.
TIRE MIXING
Michelin® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is
re
commended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any
configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s owner‘s manual for its recommendations.
It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer’s Owner’s
Ma
nual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles, as this may require special precautions.
MICHELIN® DOES NOT RECOMMEND MIXING PAX® SYSTEM
TI
RES WITH NON-PAX TIRES/SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO
PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES WITH NON-ZP TIRES OTHER THAN THE
TEMPORARY USE OF THE SPARE IF THE VEHICLE IS SO
EQUIPPED.
WINTER DRIVING
Tires which meet the US Tire Manufacturers Association (USMTA)
de
finition of snow tires are marked M/S, or M&S. On such tires, this
designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation
are not recommended or Winter driving.
While All-Season tires are designed to provide reliable
performance in some Winter conditions, the use of four
Wi
nter tires is recommended for optimal performance.
Tires designate for use in severe Winter conditions are
marked on at least one sidewall with the letter “M”
TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires.
Re
fer to your vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation.
If you do not have an owner‘s manual for your vehicle, Michelin®
recommends rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to
12

,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should
be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before
6,000 miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
re
duce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
• Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation
o
r over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular inter -
v
als.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
t
he sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
p
otholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
w
hen 2/32" of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
s
eparations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to
dismount a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and
contact a local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the
m
aximum speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rota -
t
ion at regular intervals is required.

12. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the
ca
se of winter tires), they should be stored in a cool, dry place. To
protect your tires from damage related to: heat, water, ozone and
direct sunlight, it is suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof
containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
13. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked
“T
ubeless”. This includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s
pressure retention ability has been affected, so as to necessitate a tube
being installed, the tire must be replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of
th
e correct type must be installed. During your routine tire inspection,
verify that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as
necessary, since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
15. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and
eq
uipment to perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should
be mounted or demounted, using Tire and Rubber Association of
Canada procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’ recommendations.
Your wheels should be in good, clean condition. Wheels should be
inspected for distortion, dents, cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be
replaced as necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING
BEADS.
16. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by your vehicle
ma
nufacturer and your vehicle must be kept within these tolerances.
You should have your alignment checked annually or whenever you
notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel assemblies should
be balanced each time a tire is fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment
and balancing are important for safety and maximum performance
and mileage from your tires.

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.

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY

• Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn to
the built-in indicators at 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less tread groove depth,
th

e tire is worn out and must be replaced. Never drive on tires to the
point that the tire cord or the fabric is exposed.
• Inspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread or
f
lat spots in the tread may indicate alignment or other problems
with the tires or the vehicle. Consult an authorized Toyo Tires®
dealer.
IDENTIFYING DAMAGED WHEELS
Periodically check to see if any of the following symptoms exist, in
w h

ich case the wheel must be replaced:
• If the flange is bent.
•
If welds or rivets are leaking.
•
If the stud holes are elongated and not round. (Improper lug nut
t
ightening could cause this.)
• If there are cracks in the wheel.
W

ORN OUT TIRES
Tires must be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm).
Tr

eadwear indicators on Toyo Tires® treads show the 2/32” depth
(1.6 mm). Most states require that tires be replaced when the tread
de

pth is worn to 2/32” (1.6 mm). Tires may lose sufficient wet and
sn

ow traction before reaching 2/32” (1.6 mm) of wear. Many wet
we

ather accidents result from skidding on worn out tires.
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetrations. Consider
re
placing your tires earlier if you drive in snow or wet conditions.
WARNING!
Never drive on a tire if there is any evidence of damage. Driving
on
a damaged tire is dangerous. A damaged tire could suddenly
fail, which may result in loss of vehicle control and lead to serious
personal injury or death. Do not attempt to dismount, mount, or
repair a tire yourself. See your Toyo Tires dealer immediately if
you detect damage.

• When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions,
they are to be kept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is
recommended after installing two new tires to the rear position, or
if you discover significant tread depth differences between the front
and rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
• Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on
s
uspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the
s
ingle new tire be paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and
both be placed on the rear axle. Placing greater traction on the rear
axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer
condition and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
• Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important consider -
a
tions for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires.
Yo
u need to check how your tires are wearing at least once a month.
• Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing
u
nevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing
faster than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens the
life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics of
your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular
wear, have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.

If you experience a blowout or a sudden tire failure, the following
information should be helpful:
• When the tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, or feel a
v
ibration, and/or the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed
tire. Do not abruptly brake or turn.
• Maintain steady pressure on the accelerator pedal.
•
Hold the steering wheel firmly and steer to maintain your lane posi -
t
ion.
• Find a safe place to pull off the road and allow the vehicle to gradu -
a
lly decelerate. Apply light braking as required to stop safely.
• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a
d
amaged tire on your vehicle.
• Seek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your
s
pare tire.
• Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire
p
rofessional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all
ti
res on a vehicle. Your tires should be thoroughly examined on a lift
by a tire dealer for any abnormalities. If tires show uneven treadwear,
ask the service person to check and/or correct any vehicle wheel
alignment or other mechanical problem before rotation.
The following rotation patterns are acceptable. Please refer to your
ve
hicle Owner’s Manual for rotation advice.
