like curbs. Your vehicle’s wheels are susceptible to these same 
dangers as well. Some vehicles may be originally equipped with high 
performance tires that are designed for warmer weather use reducing 
traction in colder, winter weather conditions. High performance tires 
also pose the possibility of wearing more quickly, giving a stiffer ride, 
and producing louder noise than standard all-season tires during 
operation. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual, tire information 
placard, or qualified tire service professional for more information about 
these kinds of tires.
Winter Tires
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when replacing your 
original equipment tires and installing winter tires for the winter mont\
hs.
 SAFETY WARNING
Never use just two winter tires. It could lead to adverse handling, loss 
of control, which could cause serious injury or death.
Storing Your Tires
When storing your tires for any extended period of time, be sure to 
thoroughly clean your tires with a tire brush, soap, and water to remove\
 
any dirt, salt, and brake dust from the tires. If you are storing your 
tires still mounted on the wheels, use a wheel brush and approved 
wheel cleaner to clean your wheels. Then dry the wheels and tires 
with a towel and allow them to fully dry. DO NOT apply any tire 
dressings while storing your tires. Tire compounds are made to resist 
weather cracking and ozone damage. Place each clean and dry tire 
in an airtight plastic bag and seal the bag with tape to help reduce oil\
 
evaporation. Store your tires out of direct sunlight and somewhere that \
is well shielded from the elements, like a climate-controlled room or 
dry basement. Storing the tires in a garage or shed usually exposes 
the tires to a wide range of temperatures as well as precipitation and 
humidity. Keep the tires away from sources that emit ozone like electric 
motors that use contact brushes, furnaces, sump pumps, etc. Although 
tires will still age regardless of how they are stored, these precaution\
s 
will help slow the aging process and reduce the damage to your tires. 

HANKOOK TIRE

Limited Warranty
For Original Equipment Passenger Car & Light 
Truck Tires Including Temporary Tires
What Is Covered and for How Long
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook and 
equipped originally on the vehicle is free from defects in materials or \
workmanship in normal use for the life of the original usable tread. The 
life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has been worn\
 
down with only 1.6mm (2/32nds inch) remaining, at which point the tire 
is considered to be fully worn out.
Passenger Car and Light Truck Tiresa.
 Free replacement  
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of 
defect in material and/or workmanship within the first 25% of tread 
wear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable Hankook 
Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
b.
 Pro rata replacement 
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit 
toward purchase of a new, comparable Hankook Tire based 
upon the amount of tread actually worn. The cost of mounting, 
balancing and any other service charges or applicable taxes shall 
be paid by the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will 
be made on a prorata basis calculated by multiplying the actual 
current dealer selling price by the percentage of remaining usable 
tread depth.
Hankook Temporary Tire a.
 A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage 
space than a conventional tire. To conserve tire tread life, 
temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as it is 
convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
b.
 If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials 
and/or workmanship during the first 50% of usable tread wear, 
the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable tire at no charge

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)

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.

Safety Maintenance Information
Read this Owner’s Manual, the information on the sidewall of your 
tires, your vehicle owner’s manual and the tire information placard 
that came on your vehicle, for essential safety and maintenance 
information.
While you should have complete confidence in your new MICHELIN
® 
tires, it’s important to register your tires so we can contact you 
about any new safety developments. For online tire registration, visit 
tireregistration.com.
Tire Failure – Safety Warning
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, 
impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, a crack, a bulge or 
other distortion, or other conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire 
failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and belt detachment, may 
increase risk of injury, death, or property damage. To reduce the risk 
ofa tire failure, you should thoroughly read and follow the instructions\
  
in this manual, your vehicle owner’s manual, the tire information 
placard on the vehicle (located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside 
the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), and tire sidewall 
information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use, and proper  
tire maintenance.
Controlling a Vehicle When a Tire Failure Occurs
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, o\
r 
feel the vehicle pull toward the side of the failed tire. If that happen\
s, 
DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. 
Instead, slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the 
steering wheel firmly while steering to remain in your lane. Once 
the vehicle has slowed and is fully in your control, apply the brakes 
gently, safely pull over to the shoulder, and come to a stop in the 
safest location possible. Inspect all tires. If any tire looks flat or low , 
or shows detachment or any other damage, replace the wheel and 
tire with a properly inflated spare after first inspecting the spare for  

MICHELIN
124
visible damage. Bumps, bulges, or cracks in any tire may indicate 
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified 
tire professional. If any tire, including the spare, has bumps, bulges, \
cracks, or other visible damage, do not resume driving with that tire. I\
f 
you have no other option, you should drive as slowly and cautiously as 
possible until you can obtain towing or mechanical assistance. If the 
spare tire is not properly inflated, do not resume driving with that tire 
unless you have no other option, in which case you should drive only 
as slowly as is safely possible in the traffic conditions until you can 
both get the spare tire properly inflated and have it checked by a tire 
professional to ensure that it is safe to use.
Proper Inflation
Driving On Any Tire That Does Not Have The Correct 
Inflation Pressure Is Dangerous
An underinflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in 
sudden tire failure and an accident. If your tires are those that came 
as original equipment on your vehicle when it was new, refer to the tire 
information placard that came on your vehicle (located in the vehicle’s 
door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door), 
for the recommended operating pressures. For replacement tires, 
ask your Michelin tire retailer for the correct inflation  pressure; if you 
do not, refer to the tire information placard that came on your vehicle \
(located in the vehicle’s door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the 
glove compartment door), for the recommended operating pressures. 
These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. Never 
exceed the Maximum Pressure rating stated on the tire sidewall. Note 
that proper inflation pressures for rear tires may differ from proper 
inflation pressures for front tires. The Maximum Pressure rating on the 
tire is normally not equal to the placard pressure.
