■

When to replace your vehicle’s

tires

Tires should be replaced if:

●

The treadwear indicators are

showing on a tire.

●

You have tire damage such as

cuts, splits, cracks deep enough

to expose the fabric, and bulges

indicating internal damage.

●

A tire goes flat repeatedly or can-

not be properly repaired due to the

size or location of a cut or other

damage.

If you are not sure, consult with your

Toyota dealer.

■

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be

checked by a qualified technician

even if it has seldom or never been

used or damage is not obvious.

■

Proper storage of the spare tire

As an improperly stored spare tire

may cause damage to the wire

cable that holds it, check that the

spare tire is stored properly on a

daily basis.

●

If the stored spare tire appears to

be slanted or rattles while driving,

the spare tire may not be properly

stored. Store the spare tire again

by performing the following tire

change procedure correctly:

Tires

Replace or rotate tires in
accordance with mainte-
nance schedules and tread-
wear.

Checking tires

418

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

If the spare tire is slanted, the

hoist assembly may be stuck in

the wheel opening. If the spare

tire rattles while driving, it may

not be fully raised. Lower the

spare tire to the ground and

make sure that the hoist assem-

bly is perpendicular to the wheel

opening.

Raise the tire slowly and steadily

until a click is heard and the jack

handle skips.

If the spare tire cannot be lowered,

the wire cable may be severed.

Have the vehicle inspected at your

Toyota dealer.

■

Maximum load of tire

Check that the number given by

dividing the maximum load by 1.10

of the replacement tire is greater

than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight

Ratings (GAWR) of either the front

axle or the rear axle, whichever is

greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification

Label.

For the maximum load of the tire,

see the load limit at maximum cold

tire inflation pressure mentioned on

the sidewall of the tire. (

Tire types

●

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since
summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires,
summer tires are inadequate for

driving on snow-covered or icy
roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all
four tires.

●

All season tires

All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions as well as for use
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway
driving.

●

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads
or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires,
select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the
originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original
equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels.

If the tread on snow tires wears

down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as

snow tires is lost.

WARNING

■

When inspecting or replacing

tires

Observe the following precautions

to prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause dam-

age to parts of the drive train as

well as dangerous handling char-

acteristics, which may lead to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Do not mix tires of different

makes, models or tread pat-

terns.

Also, do not mix tires of remark-

ably different treadwear.

●

Do not use tire sizes other than

those recommended by Toyota.

●

Do not mix differently con-

structed tires (radial, bias-belted

or bias-ply tires).

●

Do not mix summer, all season

and snow tires.

●

Do not use tires that have been

used on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not

know how they were used previ-

ously.

●

Vehicles with a compact spare

tire: Do not tow if your vehicle

has a compact spare tire

installed.

NOTICE

■

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving

on roads with loose surfaces or

potholes.

These conditions may cause

losses in tire inflation pressure,

reducing the cushioning ability of

the tires. In addition, driving on

rough roads may cause damage

to the tires themselves, as well as

the vehicle’s wheels and body.

■

If tire inflation pressure of

each tire becomes low while

●

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

It is difficult to judge if a tire is

properly inflated based only on its

appearance.

●

It is normal for the tire inflation

pressure to be higher after driving

as heat is generated in the tire. Do

not reduce tire inflation pressure

after driving.

●

Never exceed the vehicle capacity

weight.

Passengers and luggage weight

should be placed so that the vehi-

cle is balanced.

WARNING

Proper inflation is critical to

save tire performance

Keep your tires properly inflated.

If the tires are not properly

inflated, the following conditions

may occur which could lead to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury:

●

Excessive wear

●

Uneven wear

●

Poor handling

●

Possibility of blowouts resulting

from overheated tires

●

Air leaking from between tire

dent, causing death or serious

injury.

■

When installing the wheel

nuts

Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the

wheel nuts to be excessively tight-

ened, leading to bolt or disc wheel

damage. In addition, the oil or

grease can cause the wheel nuts

to loosen and the wheel may fall

off, causing an accident and

resulting in death or serious injury.

Remove any oil or grease from

the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

■

Use of defective wheels pro-

hibited

Do not use cracked or deformed

wheels. Doing so could cause the

tire to leak air during driving, pos-

sibly causing an accident.
