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.
In addition to the valuable warranty, safety and maintenance

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.

MOUNTING. Only specially trained persons should mount tires. 
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

About This Warranty
As the original purchaser of a vehicle equipped with MICHELIN® 
passenger or light truck tire, you are covered by all the benefits and

contained in this booklet.
What Is Covered and for How Long?
MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires that are used in normal 
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted are covered 
as follows:
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;

original tread is worn (or 25% or less, whichever is more beneficial to 
you), and it is within 12 months of the date of purchase, Michelin will\
, 
free of charge, replace your tire with a comparable new MICHELIN
® 
replacement tire, mount the tire, and balance the tire. You must pay the
