commercial loss, some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or \
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may
also have other rights, which vary from state to state. This is the only
express warranty applicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the
terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither assumes nor authorizes
anyone to make or assume for it any other warranty.
Understanding Your Tires
Tire Speed Symbols
Tires that are speed-rated are identified by the following letter symbols:
Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, (Y), or (ZR). The Speed Rating’s Symbol can
be found as a part of the tire size designation (ex: 215/65HR16) or
after the load index immediately following the tire size designation (ex:
215/65R16 97H). The Speed Rating’s Symbol indicates the maximum
speed that a tire can handle when properly inflated and loaded.
**For tires with speed symbols W and Y, ZR may or may not also
appear within the size designation. For tires with a maximum speed
above 186 MPH a ZR must appear in the size designation.

Date of Tire Manufacture
The date that a tire was manufactured can be determined by
examining the last 4 digits of the 12 digit DOT serial code, which is
found on at least one sidewall of a tire. For tires that were produced
after the year 2000, the last 4 digits of the serial code will identify the
week and the year that the tire was manufactured. If the last 4 digits
in the DOT serial code were to read “0517” it would mean that the tire
was manufactured the 5th week of 2017. If you are uncertain, check
with a qualified tire service professional to be sure.
DOT Symbol and DOT Serial Code
The “DOT” symbol claims that the tire conforms to all applicable US
Department of Transportation motor vehicle safety standards for tires.
The identification/serial number follows the “DOT” symbol. Here is an
example of a DOT serial code:
DOT R8 20 4M4R 05 17

(A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F)
A) DOT Symbol
B) Manufacturer Plant Code
C) Tire Size Code
D) Tire Manufacturer’s Code
E) Week of Production (01-52)
F) Year of Production (the last two digits of the year)

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.

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.

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

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.
