Your vehicle’s tire placard and/or owner’s manual will list the cold
inflation pressure(s) for your vehicle’s original equipment tires,
including the spare. The placard can be found on the driver’s side door
or door jamb area. If you have questions about understanding your
vehicle’s tire placard, please refer to your owner’s manual or ask a
qualified tire service professional.

your vehicle
placard looks like:
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 temperature.
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 recheck 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 underinflated 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 penetrate 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 servicing
tire dealer to be corrected to ensure long tire life. ***Never include a
temporary spare tire in your rotation pattern***

2. Possible NON Covered Reasons/Conditions due to:
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
supporting maintenance records and documentation necessary to help
determine if the tire(s) in question are deemed covered by the limited
warranty or not.
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 Tires 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\

Tire Sidewall Labeling
Max Load and Inflation
The maximum load and inflation pressure is marked on the tire sidewall
in English and metric units.
Ply Composition and Materials
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials
in the sidewall and tread areas can be found on at least one sidewall
of a tire.
Radial Marking
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least on\
e
sidewall. An “R” found in the tire size marking also refers to the tire
being a radial ply tire.

CONSUMER RIGHTS
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights that vary from state to state.
OWNER’S OBLIGATl0N
When making a claim, you must return the tire to be replaced to your
Kenda Tires dealer.
Proper vehicle and tire care is necessary to obtain the expected wear
from a tire. It is your obligation to properly maintain your tires and
the vehicle upon which they are mounted, including: (A) operating
your tires at the inflation pressures recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer, (B) keeping your tire/wheel assemblies in balance. (C)
proper wheel alignment, and (D) rotation. You must check your tire’s air
pressure at least monthly and before long trips.
We recommend that you have your Kenda Tires dealer inspect your
tires any time you notice irregular or uneven tread wear and rotate
them, if necessary. Also, they should be inspected by your dealer any
time your vehicle is brought in for service.
TREADWEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For those qualifying brand tires listed in the product chart (see below),
Kenda Tires will provide prorated credit towards the purchase of a
comparable brand tire.
You will be responsible for the prorated cost of a replacement
tire, and also mounting and balancing costs, taxes and any
other charges.
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
(Actual miles driven) ÷ (Amount of warranted miles) X (Actual current
dealer selling price)

SAFETY WARNING
Driving on Any Tire That Does Not Have the Correct
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
Any underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in
sudden tire destruction. Refer to the tire placard on the vehicle (check
vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s manual for placard location) for the
recommended operating pressures. Do not exceed maximum pressure
indicated on the tire sidewall.

KENDA
105
Check Tire Inflation Pressures (Including The Spare,
At Least’ Once a Month When Tires Are Cold and
Before Long Trips. All Tires Lose Air Over Time.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle
handling, and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire
destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death.
Therefore, inflation pressures should be checked at least once a month
and always prior to long distance trips. Any tire is susceptible to losing
air pressure if not properly maintained.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold; in other words,
before they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance,
causes tires to heat up and air pressure to increase.
High Speed Driving Can Be Dangerous
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressures, a road hazard, for
example, is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Never exceed the legal \
speed limit.
Inspect Your Tires
Do Not Drive on a Damaged Tire or Wheel
Any time you see any damage to your tires or wheels replace with
spare at once and immediately see your tire dealer. When inspecting
your tires, including the spare, check your air pressures. If your
pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two\

pounds or more, look for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel \
damage that may account for the air loss.
Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal tire
wear particularly on the edges of the tire tread which may be caused
by misalignment or underinflatlon. If any such damage is found, the tire

KENDA
106
must be inspected by any tire dealer at once. Use of a damaged tire
could result in sudden tire destruction.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as
hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads
which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and
rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of
your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on them carefully
and slowly, and before driving at normal or highway speeds, examine
your tires for any damage, such as cuts or penetrations.
Worn Out Tires Are Dangerous
Tires contain ‘Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show
up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) tread is remaining. At this
stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage
are dangerous.
Do Not Overload
Driving On Any Overloaded Tire Is Dangerous
The maximum load rating of your tires is marked on the tire sidewall.
Do not exceed these ratings. Follow the loading instructions of the
manufacturer of your vehicle and this will insure that your tires are no\
t
overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable
loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that m\
ay
result in sudden tire destruction.
Do not exceed the gross axle weight ratings for any axle on your
vehicle. TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see any tire dealer for
advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressures. Tire size
and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch
utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure of
tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire placard and the owner’s
manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
