Proper
tire
inflation
contributes
to
a
comfortable
ride.
Overinflation

produces
a
jarring
and
uncomfortable
ride.
TireInflation Pressures
The
proper
cold
tire
inflation
pressure
is
listed
on
the
driver’s
side

B-Pillar
or
rear
edge
of
the
driver’s
side
door.
At
least
once
a
month:
• Check

and
adjust
tire
pressure
with
a
good
quality
pocket-type
pressure
gauge.
Do
not
make
a
visual
judgement
when
determining
proper
inflation.
Tires
may
look
properly
inflated
even
when
they
are
underinflated.
• Inspect tires for signs

of tire wear or visible damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the valve stem.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation
pressure”. Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after
the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three hours. The cold tire
inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure
molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter.

Snow Tires
Some

of
snow
tires
during
the

Snow
tires
can
be
identified
by
a
“mountain/snowflake”
symbol
on
the

tire
sidewall.
If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size
and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely
affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than
what was originally equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). For
speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an

TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires. Refer
to your vehicle owner ’s manual for instructions on tire rotation. If you do
not have an owner‘s manual for your vehicle, BFGoodrich® recommends
rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km).
Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 6,000
miles (10,000 km). This is true for all vehicles.
When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows
molded on the sidewall which show the direction the tire should turn.
Care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction.
Some Tire Pressure Monitoring systems (TPMS) may not recognize that a
tire has been moved to a different position on your vehicle. Make certain
that your TPMS system is reset, if necessary, so as to correctly identify the
location of each tire on your vehicle. Refer to your vehicle owner ’s
manual or your vehicle dealer.
Determine whether rotated tires require tire inflation adjustment as front
and rear position tire pressure may vary according to the vehicle manufac-
turer ’s specification due to the actual load on that wheel position. Some
vehicles may have different sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles,
and these different sized tires have rotation restrictions. Always check the
vehicle owner ’s manual for the proper rotation recommendations.

HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES
Many new vehicles come equipped from the factory with high perfor-
mance and/or low aspect ratio tires. Generally, these tires provide
increased vehicle handling capability, but may also have numerous
engineering performance trade-offs associated with their designs.
•Low aspect ratio tires, with reduced sidewall height, may be more
susceptible to damage from potholes, road hazards, and other objects
such as curbs. This is true for the wheels as well. Therefore, as with all
other tires, it is important to drive with care and maintain proper
inflation pressure and load conditions. See “Tire Inflation Pressure”
and “Tire Damage, Inspection and Service Life” in this manual.
• Some

sports
cars
and
other
handling
performance
enhanced
vehicles,

including
sedans
and
light
trucks/SUVs,
may
be
originally
equipped

with
high
performance
tires
that
are
more
optimized
for
warmer

weather
use.
Colder,
inter
weather
traction
may
be
reduced
for
these

types
of
tires.
Winter
tires
may
be
recommended
by
the
vehicle

manufactur

er
for
colder
weather
application.
See
“Winter
Tires,”
the

next
section
in
this
manual.
• High performance tires may also wear more quickly, ride more firmly,
and produce more noise during operation.
Consult your vehicle owner ’s manual and tire information placard, or a
qualified tire service professional, for more information and specifics
regarding these types of tires.
WINTER TIRES
WARNING!
Winter
driving
presents
special
challenges
for
vehicle
mobility.
The

use
of
inter
tires
(including
studs
and
chains)—while
improving

traction
performance
in
snow
and
ice—requires
special
care
with

regard
to
acceleration,
braking,
cornering,
and
speed.
It
is
important

to
drive
with
care,
not
only
on
snow
and
ice,
but
on
dry
and
wet

roads
as
well.
BRIDGESTONE® - FIRESTONE®
In
inter
driving
conditions,
vehicle
control
and
safe
operation
under

braking
and
cornering
is
especially
dependent
upon
the
rear
tires.
For

this
reason,
inter
tires
are
best
applied
to
all
wheel
positions.

WARNING!
Falken does not recommend the use of mixing different speed
ratings on a vehicle. This can cause poor handling and
unpredictable steering.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES
Various new vehicles come equipped with high performance 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, potholes, 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 producing louder noise than standard
all-season tires during operation. Refer to your vehicle owner ’s manual,
tire information placard,
WINTER TIRES
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when replacing your
original equipment tires and installing winter tires for the winter months.
WARNING!
Never use just two winter tires. It could lead to adverse handling,
loss of control, which could cause serious injury or death.

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

tires.

However,
speeds
should
be
reduced
to
match

new
“maximum”

capability.
Any
tire
that
is
repaired,
damaged,
abused,
altered
from

state


or

voids
the

rating
on

Consult the vehicle Owner ’s Manual or tire manufacturer for
recommendations.
• If tires with different speed ratings are used, it is recommended that
the lowerspeed- rated tires always be placed on the front axle. This is
to prevent a potential oversteer condition.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
VEHICLES
If no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle Owner ’s Manual,
follow these guidelines:
•Do

not

tire
sizes.
All
four

must
be
marked
with
the
same
tire

size,
unless
otherwise
specified
by
the
vehicle
manufacturer.
This
also

applies
to
/snow
tires.
• Do not mix tread pattern types such as all-terrain and all- season.
STUDLESS WINTER/SNOW TIRES
•It

is
always
preferable
to
apply
/snow
tires
to
all
wheel

positions,
including
dual
tires,
to
maintain
vehicle
mobility
and

control.
• If

/snow
tires
are
applied
to
the
front
axle
of
any
vehicle,

/snow
tires
must
also
be
installed
on
the
rear

DO
NOT

apply
/snow

only
to
the

axle.
This
applies
to
all

vehicles,
including

of
any

it
is

recommended
(but
not
required)
that
they
also

WARNING!
Unless
/snow

on
the

have
comparable
traction

qualities
to
the
