Maintenance and care

AYGO_WE_99E96E

 When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:

 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 cannot be properly repaired due to the size

or location of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional.

 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.

 If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)

The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.

CAUTION

 When inspecting or replacing tires

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dan-

gerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.

 Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.

Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.

 Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.

 Do not mix differently constructed 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 previously.
