RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year and Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. Department of
Transportation test compliance certifications are voided
for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
overinflation, wheel imbalance and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time is a
function of the storage and service conditions (inflation
pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to which a
tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely solely on the
appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change
in dynamic performance such as increased air loss, noise
or vibration, which could be a sign to remove the tire.
Therefore, it is essential to have tires, including spares,
inspected regularly (at least monthly) for proper inflation
pressure, damage and treadwear.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat
(Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat
[ROF]) or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting
Technology [DSST]) tires to obtain the performance
criteria stated within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a
low tire pressuremonitoring system authorized by the
Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-
performance tire with a remarkable feature: It can oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations) . This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert,
follow these safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph) .
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations) . To help prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a
speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible before obtaining
tire service. Taking these precautions will increase the
chance that your tire will be repairable. SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Good-
year or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932) .
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and exter-
nal inspections must be performed by service personnel
at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Do not
attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair Run-
Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on ex-
tension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270kPa) is need to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
may be repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but
PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE
USED. Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service
facility for information on proper repairs. For the location
of the nearest facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-

Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for
use only on certain original equipment wheels supplied
with a properly operating low tire pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing in loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury
or death. Application of these tires to a vehicle not
equipped with specified operational low tire pressure-
monitoring system constitutes improper and unsafe use
of this product.OPERATIONAL MONITORING

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.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a safety
system found in most vehicles manufactured after
2005. There are pressure sensing transmitters mounted
inside of each tire that sends readings to the central
computer (ECU) in your vehicle. The TPMS system will
alert you when one or more of your tires are underin-
flated by 25% or more by turning on a warning light on
your vehicle’s dashboard or heads up display (HUD)
screen. This means that one or more of your tires may
have a low-pressure condition. Follow the instructions
in your owner’s manual. ROTATION and WEAR**
Falken recommends rotating your tires at least every
8,000km (5,000 miles) and periodically inspecting your
tires to make sure they are free of road hazards (such as
nails, screws, large wood splinters, etc.) that might pen-
etrate your tires causing them to lose air pressure and to
ensure they are wearing evenly. Common irregular wear
patterns are: misalignment wear, where the tire shows
excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire sidewalls should
also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises, and weather
cracking. If any of these noted conditions are present
during inspection, we recommend returning to your ser-
vicing tire dealer to be corrected to ensure long tire life.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread
wears down to the wear bars at 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) ,
which are located across the tread in several locations
around the tire. If only two tires are being replaced, the two
new tires should always be installed on the rear of the
vehicle to aid in preventing your vehicle from hydroplaning,
even if your car is front wheel drive. It’s always recom-
mended to have your new tires balanced during installa-
tion, and alignment checked if the previous tires show and
irregular wear. Tires that have been in use for 5 (five) years
or more should continue to be inspected by a qualified tire
specialist, at least annually. It is recommended that any
tires 10 (ten) years old or older from the date of manufac-
ture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a
precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even
if they have not reached the legal worn out limit at 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) .
TIRE REPAIRS
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best to
find a nearby, safe place to stop and install your spare tire
or call a tow truck. The less distance that you drive on your
low or flat tire, the better chances your tire has of being
repairable. Once you are able to get to your local servicing
tire dealer, have them dismount the tire from the rim and
thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is important to
know the difference between a proper tire repair and an
improper one because it can be critical to you and your
vehicle’s safety. An improper repair could pose a safety
threat to you and your family and could also affect your
tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are some tips in deter-
mining if your damaged tire can be properly repaired or not:
●Always have the tire removed from the wheel and
inspected before any repair is performed.
●Tires with less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread
should NOT be repaired.
●Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6mm
(1/4 of an inch) .
●Repairs should be limited to the tread area only.
●Repairs cannot overlap one another.
●A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be
used to effectively repair a tire puncture.
●If anything seems questionable at any time during the
repair process, ask your service advisor for more
details and/or call the tire manufacturer to make sure
the tire’s warranty isn’t being voided.

FALKEN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 37

TIRE MIX USAGE
WARNINGSAFETY WARNING
Never mix tires of different size or con-
struction and/or type on any axle. (Except
for temporary use as a spare tire.) Always
refer to the vehicle’s owner manual for
proper tire fitments.
TIRE SPEED RATINGS
Falken recommends replacing your tire(s) with the same
speed rating as the original tires equipped on your
vehicle.
It is okay to use a lower speed rated tire when using
winter tires. However, speeds should be reduced to
match the tires new “maximum” speed capability.
Any tire that is repaired, damaged, abused, altered from
its original state or retreaded voids the speed rating on
that particular tire and should be considered a non-
speed rated tire.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Falken does not recommend the use of
mixing different speed ratings on a ve-
hicle. This can cause poor handling and
unpredictable steering.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO
TIRES
Various new vehicles come equipped with high perfor-
mance and/or low aspect ratio tires from the factory.
These tires generally provide increased vehicle handling
characteristics, but may also have engineering perfor-
mance trade-offs related with their designs. Low aspect
ratio tires have reduced sidewall heights and may be
more vulnerable to damage from road hazards, pot-
holes, and other objects, like curbs. Your vehicle’s
wheels are susceptible to these same dangers as well.
Some vehicles may be originally equipped with high
performance tires that are designed for warmer weather
use reducing traction in colder, winter weather condi-
tions. High performance tires also pose the possibility of
wearing more quickly, giving a stiffer ride, and produc-
ing louder noise than standard all-season tires during
operation. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual, tire
information placard, or qualified tire service professional
for more information about these kinds of tires.
WINTER TIRES
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when
replacing your original equipment tires and installing
winter tires for the winter months.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Never use just two winter tires. It could
lead to adverse handling, loss of control,
which could cause serious injury or death.
STORING YOUR TIRES
When storing your tires for any extended period of time, be
sure to thoroughly clean your tires with a tire brush, soap,
and water to remove any dirt, salt, and brake dust from the
tires. If you are storing your tires still mounted on the
wheels, use a wheel brush and approved wheel cleaner to
clean your wheels. Then dry the wheels and tires with a
towel and allow them to fully dry. DO NOT apply any tire
dressings while storing your tires. Tire compounds are
made to resist weather cracking and ozone damage. Place
each clean and dry tire in an airtight plastic bag and seal the
bag with tape to help reduce oil evaporation. Store your
tires out of direct sunlight and somewhere that is well
shielded from the elements, like a climate-controlled room
or dry basement. Storing the tires in a garage or shed
usually exposes the tires to a wide range of temperatures
as well as precipitation and humidity. Keep the tires away
from sources that emit ozone like electric motors that use
contact brushes, furnaces, sump pumps, etc. Although
tires will still age regardless of how they are stored, these
precautions will help slow the aging process and reduce
the damage to your tires.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Operating your vehicle in excess of the
posted speed limit or the maximum speed
allotted by driving conditions has the po-
tential to be dangerous. Higher driving
speeds create excessive heat buildup in a
tire, leading to a possible tire failure.
