The original usable tread is determined
by measuring the depth on the tread of
an identical model of a new Toyo/Nitto
brand tire to the top of the treadwear
indicator bars (note: the original usable
tread depth will vary by tire model). The
prorated cost of a replacement tire
is determined as follows: [(Original
usable tread worn) ÷ (Original usable
tread)] x (Actual current dealer selling
price).
A comparable Toyo/Nitto brand tire is
the same tire, or a tire of the same basic
construction and quality, as the original
tire, as determined by Toyo/Nitto Tires.

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
U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association
(USTMA). Single or dual assemblies
must be completely deflated before
demounting.
Your tires should be mounted on wheels
of correct size and type and which are in
good, clean 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 correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must only be mounted
on wheels designed for tubeless tires
i.e., wheels whichhave safetyhumps or
ledges.
It is recommended that you have your
tires and wheels balanced. Tires and
wheels, which are not balanced, may
cause steering difficulties, a bumpy ride,
and irregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valves have
suitable valve caps. The valve cap is
the primary seal against air loss.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary spare tire, be
sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
instructions.

DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND
