YOKOHAMA TEMPORARY

SPARE TIRE

High Pressure Spare Operating Instructions

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper maintenance or

service factors. Tire failure may create a risk of property damage and serious or

fatal injury. For your safety, please follow the instructions below.

1. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire is designed for temporary use only

and must not be used continually as a regular tire.

2. Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or

cutting, such as potholes, glass, metal, etc.

3. Speed must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for non-speed-rated Temporary

Spare tires.

4. A tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 km) can be expected depending on road

conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, the spare should

be returned to the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired or re-

placed.

5. Because the YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire was specifically designed for

your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.

6. Do not use snow chains on your YOKOHAMA high pressure spare. This could

cause damage to your vehicle.

7. When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same

type spare tire.

8. Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60 psi

(4.2 kg/cm

) even when not in use. Do not inflate over 60 psi.

9. The YOKOHAMA high pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim

nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on the YOKO-

HAMA high pressure spare tire rim on which the YOKOHAMA high

pressure spare tire was originally installed.
