IMPORTANT SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation or other conditions resulting from use. Tire failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury.

To reduce the risk of tire failure, we strongly recommend the following:

Warning! Serious injury may result from:

• Tire failure due to under inflation/vehicle overloading -follow owner's manual or tire information placard in your vehicle.
• Explosion or tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting -only specially trained persons should mount tires.

• Do not reduce air pressure when tires are hot Use a tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• If a tire loses more than one pound of air per month, have it checked for leaks by your dealer. Proper inflation pressure is very important to tire life, safety and vehicle handling therefore you should always maintain the correct inflation pressure in your tires according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation.
• In addition your vehicle has a Tire Information Placard which indicates the proper tire size and inflation pressure for your particular model of vehicle.

Do not overload your tires!
The maximum load capacity and air pressure of your tires is marked on the sidewall. Do not exceed these limits. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's loading instructions to insure that your tires are not overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction.

Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety and maximum mileage from your tires!
Check how your tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as an outside shoulder wearing faster than the rest of the tread, your vehicle may be out of alignment. This condition not only shortens tire life but adversely affects the handling characteristics of the vehicle which could be dangerous. If irregular wear is indicated have your vehicle alignment checked and corrected immediately.

Caution! Sudden tire vibration
If your tire develops a sudden vibration, have your tires checked immediately by a dealer: Do not continue to drive on tires which have developed a sudden vibration! A vibration in your tires may indicate that you have lost a wheel balancing weight or could signal a more serious condition such as a puncture which could result in tire failure.

Approved Rim Width.
The Tire and Rim Association designates approved rim widths for each tire size. It is important that any replacement tire size is fitted onto an approved rim width listed by the tire manufacturer.
Using rim widths that are not approved can lead to irregular tread wear, vehicle vibration, poor handling and undo stress on tire sidewalls.
Warranty coverage may become void if the incorrect rim width is used.

Radial tire rotation.
The purpose of tire rotation is to achieve a more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. Before rotating tires determine the cause of any unusual wear and correct any misalignment, imbalance or other mechanical problems. See "Tire Rotation Chart" for acceptable types of rotation patterns:

Important!

• These tire rotations do not take into account different tire types mixed on the vehicle. Do not mix radial and bias tires on the same vehicle.
• Some vehicles are designed with different tire sizes on the front and rear axles. Normally such combinations will not allow rotation. Prior to rotation consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• Some vehicles are equipped with unidirectional wheels which limit the choice of rotation pattern. Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• Do not include special temporary spare tires in the rotation pattern. After rotation adjust individual tire pressures to the vehicle or tire manufacturer's recommendations according to the tires' new position on the vehicle.
• Do not mix or rotate different speed rated tires on the same axle. Higher speed rated tires must remain on the rear axle. Consult your local Toyo dealer.

Remember your mileage warranty requires the tires
to be rotated every 8,000 kms!
