The vehicle or TPMS manufacturer may advise checking the TPMS
regularly to confirm it is in working order. In addition, a new pressure
sensor, certain components, or reprogramming may be necessary when a
tire is serviced. Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual, vehicle manufac-
turer, or a Bridgestone Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailer for questions
regarding TPMS operation and service.
RUN-FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE OPERATION
WARNING!
Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure or
accident due to improper run-flat or low tire pressure operation.
Read and follow the instructions below, and the other maintenance
and safety recommendations elsewhere in this manual.
General Instructions
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) required in your vehicle
may have different methods of alerting you when your tire has lost
inflation pressure. The international standard for the definition of run-flat
operation is pressure at or below 10 psi (70 kPa); however, some vehicle
manufacturers may have established a different pressure limit. Consult
your vehicle owner ’s manual for the details of your TPMS. Once the
TPMS has indicated that a tire has reduced inflation pressure, the run-flat
mode of operation has commenced. During this phase of operation,
please follow these instructions:
• Reduce speed as much as safely and reasonably possible; do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).The greater the speed, the less distance the
tire can travel.
• Avoid abrupt or aggressive acceleration, braking, or cornering ma-
neuvers as much as safely and reasonably possible. Pot holes and
other road hazards should be avoided. Careful driving limits potential
damage to the tire, wheel, and vehicle.
• Proceed to a safe and convenient location for tire service as soon as
possible. Take note of your mileage; your operation distance is limited.
See Distance—How Far You Can Drive,” the next section in this
manual.

RFT Tire Damage and Repair
No tire, regardless of its design or quality is indestructible. RFT tires can
be ultimately rendered unusable due to a puncture or other road hazard
as well as from improper run-flat or low tire pressure operation. Some
punctures may be repaired under certain restrictions and prescribed
procedures.
When driven flat or with low pressure, factors affecting reparability
include vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation
pressure loss; and ambient temperature. In any situation, the extent and
location of direct damage from a puncturing object or other road hazard
are also critical factors.
RFT tires are not repairable in any of the following situations:
•If the tire was operated with inflation pressure less than 15 psi
(100 kPa).
• Abrasion or other damage is present on the exterior tread, sidewall or
bead areas.
• Abrasion, wrinkling, or separation is present on the tire interior.
• Any condition or damage is present that disqualifies repair of a
conventional tire.
Run-Flat Certified Retailers will fully inspect your tire, inside and out, to
determine if the tire can be repaired. Tire damage is not always visible
from the outside and the tire must be removed from the wheel for a
complete inspection. For more information, see the section “Tire Repairs”
in this manual.
NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers do not recommend using repaired
tires. Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer before operating a repaired tire on your vehicle.

DOT Symbol and Tire Identification Number:The “DOT” symbol
constitutes a certification that the tire conforms to applicable U.S.
Department of Transportation motor vehicle safety standards (for tires).
Following the “DOT” symbol is the tire identification number, also
known as the DOT serial number or code. For example:
(a) DOT Symbol (d) Tire Manufacturer ’s Code
(b) Manufacture Plant Code (e) Week of Production (01-52)
(c) Tire Size Code (f) Year of Production (last two digits
of year)
* For tires produced from 2000-on. In the example above, the tire was
produced in the 18th week of 2000. For tires produced prior to 2000, there
is one digit in group (f) which identifies the last digit of the year of
production, i.e. “329” would likely signify the 32nd week of 1999, but
could possibly signify the 32nd week of 1989. If in doubt, consult a
qualified tire service professional.
The DOT symbol and tire identification number can be found on at least
one sidewall near the wheel. The other sidewall may have a partial serial
code that excludes (e) and (f) above.
Maximum Load and Inflation: The maximum load and maximum
inflation pressure is marked on each sidewall in metric and English units.
For example:
MAX LOAD 685 kg (1,510 lbs) AT 240 kPa (35 psi) MAX PRESS
NOTE: The load and inflation values marked on the tire sidewall are
maximum permissible values for the tire only. Never assume that these
values are the actual maximum load capacity or recommended tire
pressure values for your vehicle. See “Tire Inflation Pressure,” “Tips for
Safe Tire Inflation,” and “Tips for Safe Loading” in this manual.

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

B.Improper use or operation, including, without limitation: Im-
proper inflation pressure, overloading, tire/wheel spinning, use of
an improper wheel, tire chain damage, misuse, misapplication,
negligence, tire alteration, or for racing or competition purposes.
C. Insufficient or improper maintenance, including, without limita-
tion: Failure to rotate tires as recommended in this manual, wheel

Congratulations!
Your new vehicle is fitted with high performance and high quality Falken
tires.
In order to guarantee that you receive the best performance and quality
from your new Falken tires, we recommend that you read and follow all
of the maintenance and safety tips provided in this document. We also
suggest that you have your Falken tires periodically inspected and
maintained by a qualified tire service professional.
A) 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 recommended 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 pressure for longer periods of time and
reduces the amount of moisture inside of the tire and wheel assembly.
*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).
