3.OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
At least monthly, the vehicle owner(s) should check the tires’ air
pressure with a gauge and inflate to the recommended cold air
pressure level listed on the driver ’s door placard. Do not rely on car
servicers to perform the checks. The tires should be rotated at least
every 8,000km (5,000 miles) or earlier if uneven wear is 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 owner(s) must present any sup-
porting maintenance records and documentation necessary to help
determine if the tire(s) in question are deemed covered by the limited
warranty or not.
4. LEGAL RIGHTS
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability 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
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may
also have other rights, which vary from state to state. This is the only
express warranty applicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the
terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither assumes nor authorizes
anyone to make or assume for it any other warranty.
C) UNDERSTANDING YOUR TIRES
TIRE SPEED SYMBOLS
Tires that are speed-rated are identified by the following letter symbols:
Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, (Y), or (ZR). The Speed Rating’s Symbol can be
found as a part of the tire size designation (ex: 215/65HR16) or after the
load index immediately following the tire size designation (ex: 215/
65R16 97H). The Speed Rating’s Symbol indicates the maximum speed
that a tire can handle when properly inflated and loaded.

WARNING!
The traction grades assigned to this tire is based on straight ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
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
performance 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 excessive loading either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
