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.

VEHICLES WITH MODIFIED SUSPENSION
USEFUL TIRE INFORMATION
There is a lot of useful information molded into the sidewall of a tire.
I t
shows the name of the tire, its size, if it is tubeless or tube type, the
maximum load and maximum inflation, and important safety
warnings. The sidewall markings on passenger and light truck tires
are slightly different.
WARNING!
Large-diameter tires and modified suspensions that increase
g r
ound clearance will alter vehicle handling.
• The vehicle may become more likely to roll over.
•
Braking distances may increase.
•
Slower speeds may be required to maintain control.
D
rive with extreme caution until you become familiar with how
yo
ur vehicle handles. Always wear your seat belt.
Some modifications may be illegal in your state. Consult your
Ow
ner’s Manual, the instructions for this product, and state law
before modifying your vehicle.

TYPICAL PASSENGER TIRE
The letters “DOT” certify compliance with all applicable safety
s t
andards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT). Adjacent to this is a tire identification or serial number. This
serial number is a code with up to 12 digits that are a combination of
numbers and letters. The last characters are numbers identifying the
week and year of manufacture. (For example, “1502” means the
fifteenth week of the year 2002.)
The DOT requires tire manufacturers to grade passenger car tires
ba
sed on three performance factors: Treadwear, Traction and
Temperature resistance. (See the “Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)” section for more details.)
The sidewall also shows the type of cord and the number of plies in
th
e sidewall and under the tread.

TYPICAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRE
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) standards are intended to
a s
sist you in making an informed choice in your purchase of
passenger car tires by providing information indicating relative
performance in the areas of treadwear, wet stopping traction, and
temperature resistance. All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
• Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
t
he wear rate of the tire tested under controlled conditions on a spec -
ified government test track. For example, a tire graded 200 would
we
ar twice as long on the government course as a tire graded 100. It
is wrong to link treadwear grades with your projected tire mileage.
The relative performance of the tires depends upon the actual condi -

tions of their use and may vary due to driving habits, service prac-
tices, differences in road characteristics, and climate.
• Traction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B,
a
nd C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
• Temperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
r
epresenting the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera -
tures can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
li
fe, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a level of performance that all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
• D OT Quality Grades - All passenger car tires must conform to
f
ederal requirements in addition to these grades. CAUTION!
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking
( s
traight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering
(turning) traction.
WARNING!
The temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly
in
flated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading either separately or in combination can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure. This can cause an accident,
which could lead to serious personal injury or death.

DOT SERIAL NUMBER SYSTEM
TIRE REGISTRATION
Your original equipment tires are registered through the vehicle
m a
nufacturer.
When you purchase replacement Toyo brand tires, the seller is required
by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to present you
with a tire registration form. Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. provides a
registration card at no charge to all Toyo Tires® dealers. The dealer
must fill in the dealer name, address, and serial numbers of the tires
purchased. You, the buyer, should then fill in your name and address,
place a stamp on the form, and mail it to the pre-addressed location on
the form. Be sure to have your dealer complete their portion of the
registration card included in this Limited Warranty at the time of
purchase. The information contained in the registration card is an
important means to notify you in the event of a product recall.

If you prefer, you may register your tires on our web page at
www.toyotires.com
and select “Tire Registration.” Be prepared to
provide the name and address of the dealer, the quantity of tires, and
th
e DOT serial numbers from the sidewall of the tires.
IMPORTANT! If self-registering tires, make sure to include all letters
an
d numbers (up to 12 digits) following the letters “DOT” on the tire’s
sidewall near the bead. If you see only four letters next to the letters
“DOT”, look on the other side of the tire for the full DOT number.
