TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY

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.
Underinflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
mo
nth, including for the spare tire, to make sure it’s 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE TIRE INFLATION
• If you must inflate your tires when they are hot, add four pounds
p
er square inch (4 psi) (28 kPa) above the recommended inflation
pressure specification. Recheck the inflation pressure when the tires
are cold and adjust to the recommended inflation pressure shown
on the vehicle’s Tire Information Placard.
• Never release air or nitrogen from a hot tire in order to reach the
r
ecommended cold tire pressure. Normal driving causes tires to run
hotter and inflation pressure to increase. If you release pressure
when your tires are hot, you may dangerously underinflate your
tires. If your tires lose more than one pound per square inch (1 psi)
per month, the tire, the valve, or the wheel may be damaged.
Consult an authorized Toyo Tires dealer for an inspection.
• Over-inflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact
d
amage.
• Over-inflation or underinflation may adversely affect vehicle
h
andling.
• Remember to check your spare tire. Consult your vehicle Owner’s
M
anual for the correct inflation pressure and use of a “temporary
use” spare tire. The inflation pressure specified for a spare tire is
typically different from that specified for your regular tires.
• Use valve caps to keep valve cores clean and clear of debris and to
h
elp guard against air leakage.
WARNING!
Never inflate a tire unless it is secured to the vehicle or a tire
mo
unting machine. Inflating an unsecured tire is dangerous. If
the tire bursts, it could be propelled into the air with explosive
force and cause serious personal injury or death.
