CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every 3,500 miles or less for high performance (low
profile) tires or every 7,500 miles or less for
standard passenger and light truck tires. More
frequent rotation may be necessary if, upon
inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front
and rear tire tread depth differential should be
kept to 2/32nds of an inch or less. Keep a
record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recom- mended air pressure in the tires according to
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check inflation pressures on all your tires, in-
cluding the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most
important thing you can do to ensure optimum
tread life and tire durability. To avoid injury,
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run se-
verely underinflated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with vehicle manu-
facturer’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded. (5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not
be exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.

occurring, and proof of maintenance records should be
kept. The owner(s) should have the tires rebalanced if
vibration is experienced, and the vehicle’s alignment
should be checked if uneven or rapid wear is occurring,
or when suggested by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
All warranty claims must be presented to an authorized
Falken dealer or participating car dealership. The own-
er(s) must present any supporting maintenance records
and documentation necessary to help determine if the
tire(s) in question are deemed covered by the limited
warranty or not.
LEGAL RIGHTS
All implied warranties, including warranties of mer-
chantability and fitness for a particular purpose shall be
limited in duration to the above period. To the extent
permitted by law, Falken Tire Corporation shall not be
responsible for incidental or consequential damages,
such as loss of use of the tire or the vehicle on which it
is used, inconvenience, or commercial loss, some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or con-
sequential damages, so the above limitations or exclu-
sions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights,

TIRE CARE AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PROPER INFLATION and FUEL ECONOMY*
Ensure maximum performance and a long life from your
tires by checking the air pressures at least once a month
and set them to the vehicle manufacturer’s recom-
mended pressure(s) listed on the vehicle’s tire placard
or in your owner’s manual. Always check and adjust your
air pressure when your tires are cold, preferably first
thing in the morning before driving. Never release air
pressure from tires when they are hot. Wait until the tires
cool down and recheck, adding air or releasing as
required. Falken endorses the use of nitrogen in your
tires because it helps your tires maintain optimal pres-
sure for longer periods of time and reduces the amount
of moisture inside of the tire and wheel assembly.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need to be properly inflated to effectively operate
and perform as intended. Tires carry the weight of the
vehicle, passengers, and cargo as well as bear the
forces of braking, accelerating, and turning. The vehicle
manufacturer sets the inflation pressures for the original
equipment tires that are on your vehicle.
Driving with improperly inflated tires is dangerous. An
under inflated tire will generate excessive heat build-up
that will cause damage to the internal structure and
inner liner of the tire. Besides tire damage, improper tire
inflation pressures can also affect your vehicle’s ride
and handling, tire tread wear, and fuel economy. It is
recommended to always keep all of your tires, including
the spare, at the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
inflation pressures and be sure to check the air pressuremonthly and before going on long road trips or carrying
extra weight in your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s tire placard and/or owner’s manual will
list the cold inflation pressure(s) for your vehicle’s origi-
nal equipment tires, including the spare. The placard
can be found on the driver’s side door or door jamb area.
If you have questions about understanding your vehi-
cle’s tire placard, please refer to your owner’s manual or
ask a qualified tire service professional.
●For detailed information on TIRE INFLATION PRES-
SURE please visit www.Falkentire.com
CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital
to help your tires perform properly and help you get the
best gas mileage possible. Tires can lose up to 7 kPa
(1 psi) per month under normal conditions and lose up
to 7 kPa (1 psi) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in tempera-
ture. Here are some simple steps on how to check the
air pressures in your tires: 1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently in the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and re- check with your tire gauge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted accordingly.
(Continued on next page)
* Some plus size applications may require different air pressure(s) than what is listed on your vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual. In this case, please consult your tire dealer or Falken Tire
for proper inflation pressure(s) .

●TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A(the highest) , B, andC,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions or on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce in tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109.
Grades Band Arepresent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than minimum required by
law. WARNING: The temperature grade for each tie is
established for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or exces-
sive loading either separately or in combination, can
cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

56 FALKEN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could
create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal
injury. Disregarding any of the safety precautions and
instructions contained in this manual may result in tire
failure or explosion causing serious personal injury or
death. For your safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATION
Keep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on
the tire data placard. (See your Owner’s Manual for
location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained
as a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum
pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR
TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE
COLD, AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIV-
ING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in im-
proper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and ir-
regular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once a month and
always prior to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The
tires are cold when your vehicle has been driven less
than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for
three or more hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN TIRES
ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four
pounds per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recom-
mended cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pres-
sure when the tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by
the next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire
will be underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to
check pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your tire dealer. If not, refer to the vehicle decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire de-
struction and serious personal injury. Overinflating can
cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-
LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS.Never load your
tires beyond the load carrying limits molded into the
sidewall of the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as
shown on the vehicle tire data placard, whichever is
less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can
lead to sudden tire failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or
the maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions.
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a
tire leading to possible failure and serious personal
injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially impor-
tant. However, at high speeds, even with the correct
inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more
difficult to avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at the lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction
time available to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel,
replace it with your spare tire and see your tire dealer at
once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.
