1 HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES PERFORMANCE RADIALS

2 POSSIBLY THE MOST CAPABLE RUBBER EVER TO MEET THE ROAD. For years, Yohohama has been synonymous with the pinnacle of high performance engineering. We are continuously pushing the bounds of the possible using the latest computerized performance simulation techniques, breakthrough compounding technologies, advanced tire construction and innovative tread designs. The result is a suite of tires that offers new levels of control and precision in everyday driving. The exceptional performance characteristics of the ADVAN Sport are partly due to the development of our proprietary Nanotechnology fusion process. Performance breakthroughs are achieved through relentless computer modeling in a wide variety of performance situations. Static Straight Driving Cornering at High Speeds Braking Yokohama holds one of the most impressive motorsports records including multiple victories at the American Le Mans Series.

5 MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INFORMATION Yokohama tires are sophisticated in design, and like any high-quality product, they require owner maintenance to perform at their best. Operational damage such as incorrect inflation, punctures, cuts and impact damage may cause tire failure and result in personal injury and/ or property damage. The simple precautions listed below can reduce the chance of problems, and help achieve the expected life of your tires. Tire Inspection: Visually inspect your tires frequently for any abnormal conditions such as scrapes, bulges, cuts, nails, uneven wear, etc. resulting from operation. This must be done immediately after any suspected contact with an object on the road, a pothole, road irregularity or after severe braking. Immediately refer any of these conditions to your nearest Yokohama dealer for a thorough tire inspection. Tire Loading: Never exceed the maximum vehicle load limits listed on the vehicle placard or in the owner s manual. Be aware of the load carrying limits molded into the tire s sidewall, and do not exceed them. The tire s maximum load limit can only be carried at the maximum cold inflation pressure indicated on the tire s sidewall. Always replace a tire with one of the exact same size, and of the same or higher speed rating. Speed Limits: Regardless of the performance or speed capabilities of your tires, always obey all laws and never exceed speed limits dictated by driving conditions. Hazards: Objects on the road that threaten a tire should be safely avoided. These objects include potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough tire inspection. Air Pressure: Air pressure maintenance is critical to tire life. Tire pressures must be checked frequently when tires are cold (before operation, when cool to the touch), and no less than once per month and before extended operation. Use a tire gauge to check air pressure, and maintain it according to vehicle manufacturer s recommendations as listed on the vehicle placard or in the owner s manual. Do not reduce pressure when a tire is hot, and do not inflate a tire higher than the limits molded on the tire s sidewall. Do not overlook spare tire inflation pressure or maintenance. Tire Tread: Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 1.6 mm (2/32 inch). Yokohama tires are manufactured with tread wear indicators, molded into the tire grooves, which indicate tread wear. As a tire wears out, the tread becomes more vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Visual inspection therefore becomes more crucial as a tire wears out. Hard Braking: You must inspect your tires after any panic braking circumstance, or after tires have slid on the pavement, as this may have caused a flat spot on the tread of the tire. Spinning: If the vehicle becomes stuck, do not allow the tires to spin at speeds greater than 50 km/hr., and do not stand behind a spinning wheel while attempting to push a vehicle. Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode, causing property damage and personal injury. Tire Rotation: To ensure even tread wear and long tread life, scheduled tire rotations are required and are a necessary part of vehicle main tenance. As front and rear tires perform differently, and front- and rear-wheeldrive vehicle tires wear differently, they require unique rotation schedules. For front-wheel-drive and ALL high performance vehicles, rotate the tires at minimum every 8,000 km. For rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, rotate the tires at minimum every 12,000 km. However, if your driving style or vehicle usage results in uneven tread wear or reduced tread life, rotate the tires more often. All Season Tires in Winter Conditions: Yokohama s all season tires are engineered to handle most conditions that drivers will face. For winter conditions, we recommend switching to dedicated Yokohama winter tires, designed specifically to grip on snowy and icy surfaces. betiresmart.ca

6 Safety warning Death or serious injury may result from: tire failure due to under-inflation, over-inflation or overloading. Follow the vehicle manufacturer s recommendations as listed on the vehicle placard or in the owner s manual. explosion of the tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. YOKO/HPT/12-10/E ONLY SPECIALLY-TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD MOUNT TIRES. Follow manufacturer and RMA installation safety procedures for mounting and inflating tires. Thoroughly clean rim, lubricate rim and beads and secure tire to mounting machine or place in inflation cage. DO NOT EXCEED 40 PSI TO SEAT BEADS (275 KPA). THERE IS A DANGER IN INSTALLING A TIRE OF ONE RIM DIAMETER ON A RIM OF A DIFFERENT DIAMETER. Always replace a tire on a rim with another of exactly the same rim diameter designation and suffix letter. I.E.: Never mount a 16-inch size diameter tire on a 16.5-inch rim. Special care in mounting on the rim is necessary to achieve full effectiveness of asymmetrical and directional tires. Tire sidewalls are appropriately marked. Register your tires! Yokohama s Quality Assurance Program protects your Yokohama radials. However, you should register your new tires with Yokohama to facilitate validation of these guarantees. You can register by completing the Tire Registration Card found in our Consumer Assurance Program brochure, which contains all the information about the various guarantees protecting your tires. Your Yokohama dealer will be pleased to provide you with a copy. If you prefer, you can register your tires online on our website: Take the time to register: it may prove very helpful in the event of a claim. YOKOHAMA TIRE (CANADA) INC.
