ADVERSE WEATHER DRIVING
Take special care when driving in adverse weather conditions.
• R ain and snow – Driving in rain or snow considerably reduces the traction between
y
our tires and the road surface. You must always reduce your speed to allow additional
stopping distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
• H ydroplaning and wet weather driving – Hydroplaning occurs on wet roads and refers
t
o the loss of tire contact with the road due to the build-up of water between the tire
contact patch and the road surface. Three main factors affect hydroplaning and,
consequently, your tire traction on wet roads:
1. V ehicle Speed – As speed increases, wet traction is considerably reduced.
2
. W ater Depth – The deeper the water, the sooner your tires will lose traction. Even thin
w
ater layers can create sufficient lubrication to cause traction loss at low speeds,
depending on road conditions.
3. T ire Tread Depth – As your tires wear down, their decreased ability to resist hydro -
p
laning can result in a complete loss of traction and vehicle control. You should
a l

ways reduce your speed with consideration for the traffic around you.
Driving on ice and snow – Your all-season tires were designed to provide higher
levels of snow traction compared to non-all- season tires. You have all-season
tires if you find the letters “M&S” are molded into the sidewall near the bead.
These letters mean “Mud and Snow.” Tires designed for use in severe snow con -
ditions generally have tread patterns, structure, and materials for giving superior
p e

rformance. These tires are marked with the “M&S” designation plus a moun -
tain/snowflake symbol . Even the best all-season tires will not provide accept -
able levels of traction if you drive too fast in snow or ice conditions and if you do
n o

t allow more stopping distance on icy roads compared to dry road surfaces.
Your ability to safely maneuver your vehicle in snow or ice conditions is consid -
erably reduced if your tires are too worn to provide adequate road grip.
SAFE USE OF TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
• The temporary spare tire is designed for temporary use only. It must not be used
continuously as a standard tire. The temporary spare tire should be returned to the
trunk as soon as it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
• T he temporary spare tire should not be used for speeds exceeding 50
mph.
• N ever use chains on temporary spare tires, because it could cause damage to your
v
ehicle.
WARNING!


The spare tire your car is equipped with may be of a different size and construction
from the other tires on your vehicle. When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure
to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to observe recommended
precautions could lead to erratic vehicle behavior and/or tire damage, possibly
resulting in an accident and serious personal injury or death.

TOYO TIRES® – LIMITED WARRANTY
186
• 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.

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

YOKOHAMA® TIRES — LIMITED WARRANTY
198
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.
