• When you replace the temporary tire, replace it only with the same type of tire.
• A full-size spare tire in your vehicle is intended for use as a spare when needed. Please
s
ee the “Tire Rotation” section for the proper procedures for including the same size
construction and speed-rated tire (for LT tires of the same size, type, and load rating)
in the rotation pattern. Do not rotate a temporary spare tire.
TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool dry place where water cannot collect inside the
tires. The tires should be placed away from harmful ozone-producing electric generators
and motors and sources of heat such as hot pipes. Storage surfaces should be clean and
free of grease, gasoline, or other substances, which can deteriorate the rubber.
COMPETITION TIRE STORAGE
The rubber compounds used in these tires have unique properties that, when compared
to other tires, can cause them to lose some of their flexibility when used or handled in
conditions below 15° F (-9° C). This loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and
other damage to the tire. To minimize the chances of this happening, you are advised to
follow these instructions:
1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in conditions below 15° F (-9° C).
2

. A void moving these tires in conditions below 15° F (-9° C).
3
. B efore mounting and dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours in a
t
emperature-controlled environment of 68° F (20° C) or warmer.
WARNING!


• Check inflation pressure before using your spare tire. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your spare tire may cause loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious personal injury or death. Maintain spare tire inflation pressures
based on the vehicle Owner’s Manual or the Tire Information Placard.
• “ T” Type high-pressure temporary spare tires should not be used with any other
w
heel, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire wheel. If you fail to follow this warning, your vehicle’s
handling characteristics can be seriously affected. You could have an accident
resulting in serious personal injury or death. Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
the proper use of your “temporary use” spare tire.
• D o not operate your vehicle with more than one temporary spare in use (this does
n
ot apply to a full size spare), and only operate it at limited speeds and distances as
indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
• T he “T” Type temporary spare tire may lower ground clearance when used. Avoid
d
riving over large obstacles and other road hazards. Check your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for other special clearance precautions when using the “T” Type temporary
spare tire provided in your vehicle.

4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal air-pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.
Always inspect tires for signs of cracking and never use tires that have cracked.
SPECIAL ADVICE FOR LIGHT TRUCKS
Never exceed the speed limit as indicated by the speed symbol on the tire’s sidewall. See
the chart and explanation of speed ratings in this manual.
If you do not know the speed rating of your Toyo brand tire, contact your Toyo Tires®
d e

aler or Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. for current information.
TIRES DESIGNATED AS “LT” WITH NO SPEED RATING INDICATED ON THE SIDEWALL

It is not recommended that any light truck be operated at speeds in excess of legal limits.
However, if it is anticipated that sustained driving at speeds in excess of 65 mph may be
r e

quired, then the following adjustments or recommendations should be followed:
• A t speeds from 66 m
ph through 75 mph, cold inflation pressure must be increased
10 psi above the recommended pressures for the load being carried.
• D o not exceed the maximum inflation pressure of the wheel (all wheels have
m
aximum allowable inflation pressures).
WARNING!


Improper storage can damage your tires in ways that may not be visible and could lead
to serious personal injury or death.

REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR LIGHT TRUCKS – P-METRIC VS . LT-TRUCK
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
fa

ctor 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, pickup, minivan), the load
r a

ting 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
3,086 lb. If this tire is fitted to a light truck, the actual allowable load for the tire is
2,805 lb (3,086 lb 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 do not always have
a
dequate load capacity to replace P-metric tires of the same size.
• A fter reducing a P-metric tire’s load rating by dividing by 1.1 for fitment on a Light
T
ruck, the P-metric tire may not offer sufficient load capacity to replace an LT-metric
tire of the same size.
• C ontact your Toyo Tires® dealer or Toyo Tires® Technical Service for help deter -
m
ining how to choose a proper replacement size.
• D riving with underinflated or overloaded tires may result in immediate tire failure,
w
hich can cause an accident and could lead to serious personal injury or death.

6. Do not use snow chains on your YOKOHAMA® high pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7. W hen the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type
s
pare tire.
8. C heck the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60 psi (4.2 kg/cm2)
e
ven when not in use. Do not inflate over 60 psi.
9. T he YOKOHAMA® high pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor
s
hould 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 orig -
inally installed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
All tires require owner maintenance regardless of how well a tire is constructed.
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 scrapes, 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 placard, tire
information label or in the Owner’s 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 speeds or speeds
dictated by driving conditions.
Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely avoided. 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 must 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 of an inch (1.6 mm).
YO
KOHAMA® tires are manufactured with tread wear indicators molded into the tire
grooves which indicate tread wearout. As tires wear down to 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm),
a n

d tread depth is reduced, tire 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 tires 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 becomes stuck.
• D o not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a vehicle. Speed and
f
orce can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode and may cause property damage
and/or personal injury.
