CAUTION!
• Toyo Tires® are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage, underinflation/over -
loading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire failures may create a risk of prop -
erty damage or personal injury. To obtain the highest possible performance, tires
m u

st be maintained properly.
• R emember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your vehicle.

Inflation pressure can decrease by one psi for every 10°F temperature drop Important
factors in tire care are:
• P roper inflation pressure
•
Proper vehicle loading
•
Proper vehicle maintenance
•
Regular inspection
•
Good driving habits
R
efer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for additional tire safety and service advice.
TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing one psi per month over several months along with a one
psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a severe “run low”
condition; consequently, it is important to check your tires’ inflation pressure at least
once per month. Inflation pressure enables a tire to support its load; therefore, proper
inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by looking at them.

IDENTIFYING DAMAGED TIRES
• If your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage could result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Tire failure may even occur
miles after the initial impact. Impact damage from such hazards may not be visible on
the outside of the tire. Have your Toyo Tires® dealer dismount the tire and inspect it
for damage. A tire may not have visible signs of damage on the tire surface or the inte -
rior.
• I f the impact was sufficient to bend the wheel flange, internal tire damage may have
o
ccurred, compromising the safety and integrity of the tire. Such impact damage may
result in a sudden tire failure many weeks or months later. Tire replacement is highly
recommended as a safety precaution.
• I ndications of impact damage include, but are not limited to, a bubble or a blister on
t
he outside of the tire.
• H ave your dealer inspect your tires if you see anything unusual or if cuts, cracks, split -
t
ing, or bruises in the tread and sidewall areas are visible. Bumps or bulges may indi -
cate a serious and dangerous separation within the tire body. Have your tire inspected
b y

a qualified tire service person. It may be necessary to have the tire removed from
the wheel for a complete inspection.
• I nspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn to the built-in indi -
c
ators at 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) or less tread groove depth, the tire is worn out and
m u

st be replaced. Never drive on tires to the point that the tire cord or the fabric is
exposed.
• I nspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread or flat spots in the
t
read 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 which case the wheel
must be replaced:
• I f the flange is bent.
•
If welds or rivets are leaking.
•
If the stud holes are elongated and not round. (Improper lug nut tightening could
c
ause this.)
• I f there are cracks in the wheel.
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.

• Do not use a rope type plug for repair. A tire must be removed from the wheel and inspected for interior damage. Any tire repair done without removing the tire from the
wheel is improper and unsafe.
• N ever repair a tire with a puncture or other damage outside the tread area. Do not
r
epair sidewall damage. Such tires cannot be properly repaired and must be replaced.
Toyo Tires® speed-rated passenger car tires may be repaired and returned to service
u n

der the following conditions:
• P roper repair materials and procedures have been used.
•
The damage or puncture is not larger than 1/4 of an inch (6.4
mm) in diameter.
• T he repair will be the first repair performed on that tire. (Only one repair per tire is
p
ermitted in order to maintain a limited speed rating.)
• T he tire must have more than 2/32 of an inch (1.6
mm) of tread remaining.
Toyo Tires® speed-rated passenger tires that have been properly repaired qualify for
r e

duced speed ratings as follows:

(Continued)
In addition to the above, light truck tire replacements should take into consideration the
following:
• P roper spacing between dual tires is necessary for optimum tire performance. If
c
hains are used, particular care must be taken to assure adequate clearance between
loaded tires to avoid damage from the chains. The allowable outside diameter differ -
ence between a tire and its dual mate is 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) for light truck tires.
CONSIDERATIONS IN PLUS SIZING
Always refer to and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s replacement tire
r e

commendations. In some cases, a vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise
against the application of replacement tires that are not of the original size or type.
TIRE AND WHEEL MATCHING AND MOUNTING
WARNING!


Any attempt to mount a tire on a wheel with a different diameter will result in an
explosion of the tire/wheel assembly that could cause severe personal injury or death.
Prior to mounting any tire, always check the wheel identification stamp to verify the
c o

rrect wheel diameter. Always check the tire size molded onto the sidewall.
Never exceed 40 psi when seating the tire beads onto the wheel.
Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This is especially important
wh
en the service operator inflates the tire. If the tire has been improperly mounted, it
could burst with explosive force causing serious personal injury or death.
A new valve stem must be installed on the wheel each time a worn out passenger or
l i

ght truck tire is replaced.
Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.
Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures could result in a tire
ex
plosion, causing serious personal injury or death. This is a job for your authorized
Toyo Tires® dealer or other qualified tire service location only.
Serious personal injury or death can result from:
• F ailure to select the proper tire and wheel. The tire must match the width and diam -
e
ter requirements of the wheel. When mounting truck type radial tires use only
w h

eels approved for radial tires.
• F ailure to inspect both the tire and wheel. The wheel must be free of cracks, dents,
c
hips, and rust. The tire must be free of bead damage, cuts, and punctures.
• F ailure to follow proper procedures. For proper mounting procedures, consult the US
T
ire Manufacturers Association’s publication “Care and Service of Automobile and
Light Truck Tires” (ref.: https://www.ustires.org).

• Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Look for a damaged tire on your vehicle.
• S eek roadside assistance or change the damaged tire with your spare tire.
•
Have all of your tires and the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a tire professional.
TIRE ROTATION
The purpose for rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires 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 vehicle Owner’s
M a

nual for rotation advice.
Full-size spare tires (not temporary spares) of the same size, construction, and speed
r a

ting may be used in a five-tire rotation pattern.
After rotation, check the inflation pressure of all the tires. The front and rear tire
p r

essures may vary according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

The letter symbols and corresponding design speeds are:
* Any tire with a speed capability above 149 mph (240 km/h) can, at the tire manufacturer’s option, include
a
“Z” in the size designation (e.g., 245/40ZR18). If the load index and the speed symbol are not included,
the tire manufacturer must be consulted for the maximum speed capability (P245/40ZR18 speed capability
is greater than 149 mph [240 km/h]). If a service description is included with the size description, the speed
c a

pability is limited by the speed symbol in the service description (i.e., 235/45ZR17 97W = maximum

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.
