User information for passenger car tyre

• 1. Never mount a tyre on a rim that is damaged or which has been repaired by welding or brazing.
• 2. Never inflate beyond 275 kPa(2.75 bar, 40psi)to seat beads. After beads are fully seated, never exceed the maximum tyre pressure YOKOHAMA recommends.
• 3. Tyre inflation should be done in a safety cage.
• 4. Do not mix different tyre size designations or constructions on the same axle, except for limited use of temporary spare tyres.
• 5. Outer diameter of wheel should be the same as inner diameter of tyre.
• 6. Make sure to follow instructions in the car owner’s manual or on the vehicle tyre information placed in a car to maintain proper tyre pressure.
• 7. Never bleed or reduce inflation pressure when tyres become hot from driving.
• 8. Over-or under-inflation is dangerous and could lead to tyre damage or accidents.
• 9. Check tyre inflation pressure(including spare tyres)at least once a month and before every long trip.
• 10. Sustained high speed driving conditions may call for higher inflation pressure.
• 11. Stones, gravel and other foreign objects stuck in the tyre treads may damage the tyre. Remove foreign objects from the tyre treads.
• 12. Tyres should only be mounted by professionally trained persons.
• 13. Used tyres should be scrapped through authorized recycler only, for its safe disposal.

Never use a tyre under the following conditions:

• 1. If the tread has worn to the tread wear indicator.
• 2. If breaks in the fabric appear.
• 3. If cords or wires are exposed. Replace the tyres immediately under any of the above conditions.

To preserve traffic safety YOKOHAMA recommends driving substantially slower under adverse weather or road conditions.
