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

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.

KENDA
107
Wheel Alignment and Balancing Are Important for
Safety and Maximum Mileage From Your Tires
Inspect Your Tires Regularly
At least once a month inspect your tires closely for signs of uneven
wear. Uneven wear patterns may be caused by improper inflation
pressures, misalignment, improper balance or suspension neglect.
If not corrected, further tire damage will occur. These conditions not
only shorten the life of your tires, they adversely affect the handling
characteristics of your vehicle which could be dangerous.
If any of these conditions exist, the cause may often be corrected at
your tire dealer’s or other service facility. Your tires will then last longer.
Tire Rotation
If irregular wear becomes apparent or if the rate of wear on the tires
is uneven, the tires should be rotated to alleviate the problem. Check
your vehicle for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary. The
rotation pattern or procedure indicated in your limited warranty and the\

vehicle manufacturers’ owner’s manual should be followed. For tires
on front wheel drive vehicles and/or all season tires on any vehicle, it\
is
recommended that these tires be rotated every 8,000 miles to equalize
the rate of wear.
Tire Mixing Can Be Dangerous
Most passenger tires today are radial tires and for best performance it \
is recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions unless different sizes, front and rear, were specified
as original equipment. Check the vehicle placard. If only two radials
are mounted with two non-radials, the radials should be mounted
on the rear. If tires of different types are mixed on a vehicle in any
configuration, they should not be used for long periods and speeds
should be kept to a minimum.
Mixing or matching of tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles may require
special precautions. Always check vehicle manufacturers’ Owner’s
Manual for their recommendations.

KENDA
108
Tire Alterations Are Dangerous
Do not perform any alteration on your tires. Alterations may prevent
proper performance, leading to tire damage, which can result in
sudden tire destruction. Tires which have been altered are excluded
from warranty coverage.
Repairs. See Any Tire Dealer At Once
If any tire has sustained a puncture, have the tire dismounted and
inspected internally by any tire dealer for possible damage that may
have occurred.
Punctures in the tread of passenger tires which do not exceed 1/4-inch
(6mm) in diameter can be repaired by following Rubber Manufacturers’
Association (RMA) recommended repair procedures. Do not use
externally applied plug repairs. Punctures outside the tread area
should not be repaired.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4-inch (6mm) or
if more than one radial cable per casing ply is damaged, the tire must
be replaced.
Storage
Tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that there is no
danger of water collecting inside them. Serious problems occur with
tube type tires when they are mounted with water trapped between the
tire and the tube. Due to pressurization, the liquid can pass through
the inner liner and into the casing plies. This can result in sudden lire
failure. Most of the problems of this nature, encountered with tube type\

tires, have been due to improper storage which permitted water to
enter the casing between the tire and tube prior to mounting.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place away from
sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and electric motors. Be
sure that surfaces of which tires are stored are clean and free from
grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the
rubber. Tires exposed to these materials and/or excessive heat for a

KENDA
109
prolonged period of time during storage or driving may be weakened
and subject to sudden failure.
Driving on Studded Passenger Tires (In States Where
Legally Permitted)
Only new passenger tires should be fitted with studs. For maximum
effectiveness all four M+S tires on a vehicle should be fitted with
studs. If only the two rear tires are studded, maximum efficiency in
handling and braking will not be realized. On vehicles with front wheel \
drive, adverse handling characteristics can be introduced by mounting
studded snow tires on front wheels only.
Tire Spinning Is Dangerous
Excessive spinning can cause a tire to “explode”.
Avoid tire spinning. The centrifugal forces created by a rapidly spinning
tire can cause an explosion by tearing the tire apart. These forces act
on the complete tire structure and can be of such magnitude as to
break beads as well as rupturing the entire carcass.
When stuck on ice, snow, mud, or wet grass, etc., the vehicle should
be rocked gently (alternately using forward and reverse gears) with
the least amount of wheel spinning. DO NOT exceed 35 m.p.h. as
indicated on the speedometer. Never allow anyone to stand near or
directly ahead of or behind the spinning tire.
Do not spin if a drive wheel is off the ground. SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH can result from the explosion of a spinning tire.
Speed Rated Tires
When replacement of tires is desired, consult the placard (normally
located on a door frame, door edge, or glove box door) or the owner’s
manual for correct size. If the tires shown on the vehicle placard do
not have speed ratings, the appropriate size tire with any speed rating \
may be applied. When the placard tire size nomenclature contains
a speed symbol, for example P205/60HR15 or P205/60R15 9OH,

KENDA
11 0
the replacement tire must have the same or higher speed rating
symbol if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained. IF
THE REPLACEMENT TIRE IS NOT SPEED RATED, THE SPEED
CAPABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED BY THE SPEED
CAPABILITY OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRE. A Kenda-produced
non-speed rated tire’s maximum speed is 85 m.p.h. (137 kmph).
Tire Mounting Can Be Dangerous
Tire mounting can be dangerous and should be done by trained
persons using proper tools and procedures. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels which are in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped
or rusted wheels may cause tire damage. Have your dealer check the
size and condition of your wheels before mounting new tires. Be sure
rim/Wheel manufacturer’s recommendations are followed. The inside
of the tire must be free of foreign material.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new
valves of the correct type installed. Be sure that all of your valves ha\
ve
suitable valve caps.
The sidewalls of radial tires flex more than non-radial tires. Because of
this, tube-type radial tires require special tubes. Radial tubes should be
used with radial tube-type tires. The use of other tubes, not designed
for radial tires, will result in tube failure causing sudden tire destru\
ction.
Always use a new tube when mounting a new tube type tire.
