CONTINENTAL TIRE

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.

UNSERVICEABLE IF NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.

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\

Note: No Representative or Dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise or agreement on behalf of Goodyear except
as stated herein. Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to conditions beyond
the control of the manufacturer. Under no circumstances is this
warranty a representation that a tire failure cannot occur.
Serious Injury, Death or Property Damage May
Result From
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/OVERLOADING/
MISAPPLICATION. Follow the vehicle owner’s manual or tire
placard in the vehicle.
•
TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE. Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such as punctures or impacts.
•
TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIRS. See U.S. Tire
Manufacturers Association established repair procedures at
www.ustires.org, and/or go to www.goodyear.com for information

When mounting tires, use a safety cage and a clip-on extension air
hose to inflate.

Warranty Claim Procedure
• You must present the Tire to a Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer or a
Maxxis Dealer.
•
You must present proof of the date of your purchase of the Vehicle
(car dealer invoice). If you do not present this proof, the warranty
claim will be considered only if the Tire is within five years of its
date of manufacture.
•
You must present the Tire that is the subject of the warranty
claim and all service and maintenance records required by this
Limited Warranty.
•
If there is no Maxxis Dealer or Vehicle Manufacturer Dealer near
you, call the Maxxis Technology Center at 1-866-509-7067.
Safety Maintenance Information
Improper tire mounting and inflation and overloading may cause
serious injury or property damage. Maxxis recommends that you
read and follow all safety information contained in the tire safety
information section of this booklet, vehicle placard in the Vehicle
and/or the Vehicle Owner’s Manual. Information regarding safety
and maintenance also can be found on the sidewall of the Tire.
Please also comply with the following: •
Check air pressure every month when tires are “cold.” Use an
accurate tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when
tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Under inflation produces
flexing of the sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that
premature tire failure may occur. Over inflation can cause the tire
to be more susceptible to impact damage.
•
Never overload your tires. The maximum load capacity and
maximum inflation pressure are molded into the sidewall of your
tire. Overloading builds up excessive heat and can lead to early
tire failure.
•
Avoid damaging objects (such as chuckholes, glass, rocks and
curbs) which may cause internal tire damage. Continued use
of a tire that has suffered internal damage, which may not be
visible externally, can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination

Workmanship and Materials
If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the\

original usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever
comes first), your tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this
warranty. After six (6) years or the wear of the original usable tread,
whichever occurs first, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire.
The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. I\
f you
cannot find your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the
date of manufacture which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.

The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn d\
own
evenly across the face of the tread to the level of the treadwear
indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the face of the tread on the same tire.

Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or
improper repair;
•
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underinflation,
overinflation or other abuse;
•
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity
in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment (a measured tread
difference of 2/32nds of an inch or more across the face of the
tread on the same tire);
•
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
•
