ContiSilent™Tire Owners
ContiSilent™ tires are designed to reduce noise generated while 
driving. A ContiSilent™ tire is lined with a noise reducing foam insert.  
It is not designed or intended to act as a puncture repair.
USING ContiSilent™ Tires
In aspects such as mounting, demounting, inflating, and balancing, 
ContiSilent™ tires do not differ from non-ContiSilent™ tires. As with 
any tire, regularly inspect ContiSilent™ tires for evidence of cuts, \
punctures, and loss of inflation pressure. At a minimum, ContiSilent™ 
tires should be inspected once or twice a month and always before a 
long trip. Punctures or damage not attended to promptly can result in 
loss of inflation pressure and/or damage to the tire. ContiSilent™ tires 
with cuts and punctures must be inspected by a trained tire specialist 
as soon as possible. The trained tire specialist must inspect the tire 
carefully and, according to industry standards, determine whether a 
permanent repair can be made or whether the tire must be removed 
from service and scrapped.A permanent repair will require removal 
of the tire from the rim and application of a repair method specifically 
approved for ContiSilent™ Tires. ContiSilent™ tires are identified by a 
symbol on the tire sidewall. ContiSilent™ tires and non-ContiSilent™ 
tires may be mixed on the same vehicle.

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 Tires for proper inflation 
pressure(s).
Tire Inflation Pressure
Tires need to be properly inflated to effectively operate and perform 
as intended. Tires carry the weight of the vehicle, passengers, and 
cargo as well as bear the forces of braking, accelerating, and turning. \
The vehicle manufacturer sets the inflation pressures for the original 
equipment tires that are on your vehicle.
Driving with improperly inflated tires is dangerous. An under inflated 
tire will generate excessive heat build-up that will cause damage to 
the internal structure and inner liner of the tire. Besides tire damage,\
 
improper tire inflation pressures can also affect your vehicle’s ride 
and handling, tire tread wear, and fuel economy. It is recommended 
to always keep all of your tires, including the spare, at the vehicle 
manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressures and be sure to check 
the air pressure monthly and before going on long road trips or carrying 
extra weight in your vehicle.

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.

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 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.

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.
