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.

The relative performance of the tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use
and may vary due to driving habits, service practices, differences in road characteris -
tics, and climate.
• T raction - The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C, and they
r
epresent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
NOTICE: (TBL IN FINAL PUBLISH)
The traction grade assigned to tires is based on locked braking (straight ahead) traction
te
sts and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
• T emperature - The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
t
ire’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 temperatures can cause the materials of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corre -
sponds to a level of performance that all passenger car tires must meet under the
F e
deral 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 federal requirements in
a
ddition to these grades.
WARNING!
The temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly inflated 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.

cu
ts, punctures (whether repairable or not), snags, bruises, tears, or impact breaks.
• Improper repairs or repairs that have failed.
• Im
proper inflation or other maintenance abuses.

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 -

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
