The spare tire in your vehicle is intended to be used as a spare when needed. The spare
tire carrier is not intended to be used for long term storage, except for “temporary use”
tires. If your spare is the same size, load rating, and type of tire as your road tires, it
should be included in the tire rotation process; see “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual
for more information.
The spare should be included in regular tire inspections and inflation pressure checks.
In
addition, it should be replaced 10 years after date of manufacture, regardless of
condition or tread depth. For more information, see the “Tire Damage, Inspection and
Service Life” in this manual.
TIRE STORAGE
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry place where water cannot collect inside
them. Tires should be placed away from electric generators/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.

WARNING!


Mounting a “temporary use” tire on a wheel which is not specifically designed for it, or
placing another type tire on a wheel designated for temporary use, can be dangerous.
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 proper application of your “temporary use” spare tire.
WARNING!


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

repair. Any tire repair done without removing the tire from the rim is improper. An
improperly repaired tire will cause further damage to the tire by either leaking air or
allowing air, moisture and contaminants to enter the structure of the tire. An improperly
repaired tire can fail suddenly at a later date.
Never repair a tire with less than 2/32nds of an inch tread remaining. At this tread depth,
th

e tire is worn out and must be replaced.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and emollients to protect their outer surfaces from ozone and
weather checking. As the tire rolls and flexes, the waxes and emollients continually
migrate to the surface, replenishing this protection throughout the normal use of the tire.
Consequently, when tires sit outdoors, unused for long periods of time (a month or more)
their surfaces become dry and more susceptible to ozone and weather checking and the
casing becomes susceptible to flat spotting. For this reason, tires should always be
stored in a cool, dry, clean, indoor environment. If storage is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the tires by raising the vehicle or by removing the tires from
the vehicle. Failure to store tires in accordance with these instructions could result in
damage to your tires or premature aging of the tires and sudden tire failure.
When tires are stored, be sure they are placed away from sources of heat and ozone such
a s

hot pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are
clean and free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the
rubber. Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving could be subject to
sudden failure.
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done by professionally trained persons
using proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). PAX® System tires must be mounted and dismounted only by
specially trained, authorized PAX® System retailers, utilizing PAX® System authorized
equipment.
Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are in good,
cle
an condition. Wheels that are bent, chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or corroded (alloy
wheels) may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material.
Have your retailer check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and
rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in
dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim, scrap it. It may have been damaged internally (which is
not externally visible) by having been dangerously stretched and could fail on the
highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new valves of the
c o

rrect type installed. Tubeless tires must only be mounted on wheels designed for
tubeless tires i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges. As with any other tire air
valve, the PAX® System valve stem-pressure sensor combination must be in good

WORN OUT TIRES
Tires must be replaced when tread is worn to 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm). Treadwear
in
dicators on Toyo Tires® treads show the 2/32 of an inch depth (1.6 mm). Most states
r e

quire that tires be replaced when the tread depth is worn to 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm).
T i

res may lose sufficient wet and snow traction before reaching 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm)
o f

wear. Many wet weather accidents result from skidding on worn out tires.
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetrations. Consider replacing your tires
e a

rlier if you drive in snow or wet conditions.
Any retail tire dealer will be glad to measure your tire’s tread depth for you. Toyo Tires®
r e

commends that tires be replaced in matched sets of four.
TIRE REPAIRS
If any tire has sustained a puncture, have the tire dismounted and inspected internally
by an authorized Toyo Tires® dealer for possible damage that may have occurred. Only
specially trained personnel using the proper tools and procedures should repair tires.
• N ever repair a tire with 2/32 of an inch (1.6
mm) or less tread remaining. At this tread
de
pth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced.
• N ever repair a tire with a puncture larger than 1/4 of an inch (6.4
mm) in diameter.
Su
ch tires cannot be properly repaired and must be replaced.
• R epairs of all tires (radial and non-radial) must be of the plug and inside patch type.
U
sing plugs alone on any type of tire is not a safe repair.
WARNING!


Continued operation of your vehicle with excessively worn tires may lead to loss of
vehicle control in adverse weather conditions, tire failure, and serious personal injury
or death.
WARNING!


• Before having your tire repaired, tell your authorized Toyo Tires® dealer if you have used an aerosol puncture sealant to inflate/ seal the tire. Aerosol puncture sealants
could contain a highly flammable, explosive gas.
• D riving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper repair can cause
f
urther damage to the tire. It could fail suddenly, which can result in loss of vehicle
control and lead to serious personal injury or death. To insure safety, go to your
authorized Toyo Tires® dealer for professional inspection and proper tire repairs.
• C osmetic Tire Alterations Can Be Dangerous! Remember — Do not perform or allow
a
nyone to perform any alterations to your tires. Alterations may prevent proper
performance, leading to tire damage, which could result in sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control and lead to serious personal injury or death.

• 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.
