WARNING!
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND/OR INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY
RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact
damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting
from use or misuse. Tire failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and
belt detachment, may increase risk of injury or death and/or property
damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, BFGoodrich recommends you
thoroughly read and follow the recommendations in this BFGoodrich
Limited Warranty/Owner ’s Manual, the vehicle owner ’s manual, tire
placard information, and tire sidewall information regarding safety
warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or
the vehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step on
the accelerator momentarily to maintain forward momentum and ensure
vehicle control.
It is important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE
STEERING WHEEL.
Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel
firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once the vehicle has slowed
and is fully under control, apply the brakes gently; safely pull over to the
shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the tires. If one or more tires look
flat or low, show detachment or other damage, remove tire assembly and
replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire
technician.

TIRE REPAIRS
WARNING!
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper
repair can be unreliable or permit further damage to the tire. The
tire may suddenly fail, causing serious personal injury or death.
A complete inspection and repair of your tire in accordance with Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures should be conducted by a
qualified tire service professional. While the comprehensive procedures
and recommendations for tire repair are beyond the scope of this manual,
a proper tire repair includes the following:
•The tire is demounted from the wheel for a complete inspection,
inside and out.Some damage to the tire may only be evident on the
interior of the tire.
•The puncture injury is 1/4 inch (6 mm) or less and must be within the
tread area as shown in the graphic.This helps ensure long-term tire
and repair durability.
•A patch is applied to the interior of the tire and the puncture hole is
filled with a suitable plug/stem filler.This helps ensure that the
interior of the tire is adequately sealed to prevent inflation pressure
loss and prevents contamination of the steel belts and other plies from
the elements (such as water) in the outside world.

•Any tire repair done without removing the tire from the wheel is
improper. The tire must be demounted from the wheel and the interior
inspected for damage that may not be evident on the exterior of the
tire.
•Using only a plug/stem, or using only a patch, is not a safe or proper
repair. A patch must be applied to the interior of the tire and the
puncture hole must be filled with a suitable plug/stem filler to prevent
inflation pressure loss and contamination of the steel belts and other
plies.
•NEVER substitute a tube for a proper repair or to remedy an improper
repair.
•Tubes, like tires, should only be repaired by a qualified tire service
professional.
•Some vehicle manufacturers do not recommend using repaired tires.
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual or contact the vehicle manufac-
turer before operating a repaired tire on your vehicle.
ASK how your tire will be repaired. ALWAYS insist on a proper tire
repair.
Emergency/Temporary Sealant or Filler Repairs:An emergency/
temporary sealant or filler injected into the tire, such as by aerosol can or
injection/squeeze-tube, is not a proper repair and voids the tire Limited
Warranty. A tire injected with such sealant/filler must be replaced by a
qualified tire service professional as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Tell the tire service professional if you have used an aerosol fixer to
inflate/seal the tire. Aerosol fixers could contain a highly volatile
gas. Always remove the valve core outdoors, away from sources of
excessive heat, flame, or sparks and completely deflate the tire
before removing it from the wheel.
Speed Rating:The tire’s speed rating is void if the tire is repaired,
retreaded, damaged, abused, or otherwise altered from its original
condition. Thereafter, it should be treated as a non-speed rated tire. See
“Tire Speed Ratings” in this manual.
Improper repair voids the tire Limited Warranty.See “Limited War-
ranty” in this manual.

bearing the complete description and serial number required by the
Department of Transportation (DOT). This warranty is effective only to
tires for which claims are made within 5 (five) years of the date of
production, based on the tire DOT serial number.
1.WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Falken tires that are originally equipped on this vehicle are warranted
against any defects in the materials and workmanship for the usable
life of the original tread. The limited warranty terminates at the flush
appearance of the tread wear indicators at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch)
remaining tread depth.
A. Free Replacement If a tire becomes unserviceable due to such
defect within the first 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread wear, the
tire will be replaced free of charge with the same or comparable
Falken tire.
B. Prorated Replacement After the first 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) of
wear, a prorated adjustment credit will be given based on the
percentage of remaining usable tread depth, down to the remaining
1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) tread wear bar indicator. No credit is
given if the tire is worn beyond the flush appearance of the tread
wear bar indicator (less than 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) tread depth
remaining).
C. Out-of-Round / Out-of-Balance Replacement Tires that are deemed
to be out-of-round or out-of-balance will be accepted for adjust-
ment during the first 0.8 mm (1/32 of an inch) of the original tread
depth and will be replaced free of charge with the same or similar

NEXEN TIRE
TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY™
(Effective February 1, 2016)
FOR STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES MANUFACTURED BY NEXEN
TIRE
ABOUT NEXEN TOTAL COVERAGE WARRANTY
This limited warranty only applies to the original purchaser of new
replacement tires sold by NEXEN TIRE USA (as below NEXEN TIRE),
and has been used on the same vehicle that it was originally installed on.
This warranty applies to tires purchased after February 1st 2016. Tires
purchased before February 1st 2016 are subject to the previous published
warranty.
The Nexen Total Coverage Warranty offers the consumer the following
benefits:
Coverage for Defects in Workmanship and Materials
•Mileage Tread Wear Limited Warranty*
•Road Hazard Replacement Program*
•Roadside Assistance – Flat Tire Change or Tow Service
*Most, but not all Nexen Tire patterns come with a Mileage Tread Wear
Warranty and/or Road Hazard Replacement. Check each pattern for
coverage.
For purposes of this warranty, the term “usable tread life” will be
determined as having at least 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remaining evenly
across the tire. If less than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of tread remains at any point
on the face of the tire, the tire will be considered past its usable tread life
and subject to any and all conditions stated below.
WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS
All NEXEN tires are warranted against defects in workmanship and
material and will be replaced 100% free of charge for the initial warranty
period which is the first 2/32(1.6 mm) of original usable tread life, or
within 12 months from the period of purchase, whichever comes first.

to the tire’s sidewall. Under inflation causes excessive flexing, deteriora-
tion of the tire and rapid wear of the tread edges. Over inflation results
in an uncomfortable ride, a reduced area of tire contact with the road
surface (i.e., smaller tire footprint), higher susceptibility to impact
damage and rapid wear on the tread center.
WARNING!
Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous.
These situations can cause a tire failure, including tread/belt
separation, even at a later date, which could lead to an accident and
serious personal injury or death.
Inflation pressure must be checked at least once a month and should be
checked only when the tire is cold or before it has been driven. Driving
even a short distance (1 kilometer or 2 to 3 minutes) causes tires to heat
up and the air pressure to increase approximately 4 psi. In case it is
necessary to adjust the air pressure in tires that have been driven, the air
pressure should be increased to a gauge reading of 4 psi higher than the
recommended cold inflation pressure.
For Example Only:
Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 27 PSI.
Recommended Cold Inflation Pressure: 26 PSI
Desired Gauge Reading of Hot Tire: 26 PSI+4PSI=30PSI
Therefore: Add 3 PSI
Check the cold inflation pressure on the tires, at least by the next day.
Never reduce or “bleed” pressure from hot tires since your tires will then
be underinflated when they cool down. Always use a reliable pressure
gauge.
4. UHP Summer Tires
Rubber compounds formulated for ultra high performance summer tires
can lose flexibility and may develop random surface cracks at cold
temperatures. Therefore extra care should be used in handling tires in this
condition. These compounds are optimized for maximum dry and wet
performance in warm conditions. Special tread compounds in these tires
will have decreased performance, such as lateral and braking traction, at
temperatures below 7° C or when driving on snow or ice. Therefore, it is
recommended to install winter tires in these conditions.
