12. Storage
Should you need to store tires after removal from a vehicle (as in the case of winter tires),
they should be stored in a cool, dry place. To protect your tires from damage related to:
heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight, it is suggested you place them in opaque,
waterproof containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
13. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked “Tubeless”. This
includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s pressure retention ability has been
affected, so as to necessitate a tube being installed, the tire must be replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of the correct type must
be installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify that all your valves have proper
valve caps. Replace as necessary, since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure
loss.
15. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the proper tools and equipment to
perform the task properly and safely. Your tires should be mounted or demounted, using
Tire and Rubber Association of Canada procedures or the vehicle manufacturers’
recommendations. Your wheels should be in good, clean condition. Wheels should be
inspected for distortion, dents, cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be replaced as
necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING BEADS.
16. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by your vehicle manufacturer and your
vehicle must be kept within these tolerances. You should have your alignment checked
annually or whenever you notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel assemblies
should be balanced each time a tire is fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and
balancing are important for safety and maximum performance and mileage from your
tires.

• Yo
u are the original purchaser of the vehicle.
• Yo
u purchased the vehicle after November 2011*.
• Yo
u have always used the tires with this vehicle.

m a
tion” section below).

u fulfill the warranty claim procedure (See “How to Make a Claim” section below).
E l

This Limited Warranty does not cover the following categories of claims:
Rapid Treadwear: Original equipment tires are not guaranteed to last a specified number
of
miles.
Damage from road hazards (not limited to cuts, snags, bruises, impact breaks, bulges,
pu n
ctures, stone drills, chips, and scales), fire, theft, or collision.
Conditions arising from improper tire/vehicle maintenance or use, not limited to:

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.

REPLACING TWO TIRES
• When a pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and construction as those on the vehicle, the two newer tires must be installed on the rear axle and must
be of equal or higher speed rating than the front tires. Generally, new tires with deeper
tread will provide better grip and evacuate water more effectively, which is important
as a driver approaches hydroplaning situations. Placing greater traction on the rear
axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition and loss
of vehicle stability.
• W hen two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle positions, they are to be
k
ept on the rear but rotated from side to side. This is recommended after installing two
new tires to the rear position, or if you discover significant tread depth differences
between the front and rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE
• Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
• I f single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that the single new tire
b
e paired with the tire that has the deepest tread and both be placed on the rear axle.
Placing greater traction on the rear axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a
possible oversteer condition and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
• Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important considerations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from your tires. You need to check how your tires are
wearing at least once a month.
• Y our vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing unevenly, such as when
t
he inside shoulder of the tire is wearing faster than the rest of the tread. This condi -
tion not only shortens the life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling character -
istics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show irregular wear, have
y o
ur vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.
CAUTION!
In some cases, the vehicle manufacturer may specifically advise against replacing
fewer than all four tires. Always check and follow the recommendations in the vehicle
Owner’s Manual. For 4WD and AWD vehicles, even small differences in outside
diameter may cause drivetrain damage or mechanical malfunction.

• 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.
