TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
speed-rated tires must remain on the rear axle. Consult
your authorized Nitto
®
dealer.
TIRE SPEED RATING
All Nitto
®
passenger, light truck, and truck tires have a maximum
speed rating based on size and type. Tires must never be operated
in excess of their rated speed limit! Consult your tire dealer or
contact Nitto
®
at [phone] (Pacifi c Time) if you are not sure
about the maximum speed rating of your tires.
WARNING
No tire, regardless of its design or speed rating, has an unlimited
capacity for speed. Exceeding the tire’s speed capability could
cause overheating and sudden tire failure, possibly leading to loss
of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
Nitto
®
does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or
unlawful manner. Obey all local speed limits.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven
at the speed for which the tire is rated. Speed ratings are based on
laboratory tests and relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinfl ated, overloaded, worn out, damaged,
or altered.
WARNING
High-speed driving with underinfl ated or overloaded tires may
result in immediate tire failure, possibly leading to loss of vehicle
control, which could cause an accident, including serious personal
injury or death.

determined via laboratory tests that simulate road performance at
various speeds.
Tires may be marked with one of these speed symbols: M, N, P,
