of these noted conditions are present during inspection, we recommend returning to
your servicing tire dealer to be corrected to ensure long tire life. ***Never include a
temporary spare tire in your rotation pattern***
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread wears down to the wear bars at
1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch), which are located across the tread in several locations around
t h

e tire. If only two tires are being replaced, the two new tires should always be installed
on the rear of the vehicle to aid in preventing your vehicle from hydroplaning, even if your
car is front wheel drive. It is always recommended to have your new tires balanced during
installation, and alignment checked if the previous tires show and irregular wear. Tires
that have been in use for five years or more should continue to be inspected by a
qualified tire specialist, at least annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 years old
or older from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires
as a precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not reached
the legal worn out limit at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch).
TIRE REPAIRS
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best to find a nearby, safe place to
stop and install your spare tire or call a tow truck. The less distance that you drive on your
low or flat tire, the better chances your tire has of being repairable. Once you are able to
get to your local servicing tire dealer, have them dismount the tire from the rim and
thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is important to know the difference between a
proper tire repair and an improper one because it can be critical to you and your vehicle’s
safety. An improper repair could pose a safety threat to you and your family and could
also affect your tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are some tips in determining if your
damaged tire can be properly repaired or not:
• Always have the tire removed from the wheel and inspected before any repair is
p
erformed.
• T ires with less than 1.6
mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread should NOT be repaired.
• N ever repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6
mm (1/4 of an inch).
• R epairs should be limited to the tread area only.
•
Repairs cannot overlap one another.

• A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be used to effectively repair a tire punc -
ture.
• I f anything seems questionable at any time during the repair process, ask your service
a
dvisor for more details and/or call the tire manufacturer to make sure the tire’s
warranty is not being voided.
TIRE MIX USAGE
TIRE SPEED RATINGS
Falken recommends replacing your tire(s) with the same speed rating as the original tires
equipped on your vehicle.
It is okay to use a lower speed rated tire when using Winter tires. However, speeds should
b e

reduced to match the tires new “maximum” speed capability.
Any tire that is repaired, damaged, abused, altered from its original state or retreaded
v o

ids the speed rating on that particular tire and should be considered a non-speed rated
tire.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO TIRES
Various new vehicles come equipped with high performance and/or low aspect ratio tires
from the factory. These tires generally provide increased vehicle handling
characteristics, but may also have engineering performance trade-offs related with their
designs. Low aspect ratio tires have reduced sidewall heights and may be more
vulnerable to damage from road hazards, potholes, and other objects, 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.
WARNING!


Never mix tires of different size or construction and/or type on any axle. (Except for
temporary use as a spare tire.) Always refer to the vehicle’s owner manual for proper
tire fitments.
WARNING!


Falken does not recommend the use of mixing different speed ratings on a vehicle.
This can cause poor handling and unpredictable steering.

FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION 76
WINTER TIRES
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when replacing your original equipment
tires and installing winter tires for the winter months.
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 precautions will help slow the aging process and
reduce the damage to your tires.
SPEED LIMITS
TIRE SPINNING
WARNING!


Never use just two winter tires. It could lead to adverse handling, loss of control, which
could cause serious injury or death.
WARNING!


Operating your vehicle in excess of the posted speed limit or the maximum speed
allotted by driving conditions has the potential to be dangerous. Higher driving speeds
create excessive heat buildup in a tire, leading to a possible tire failure.
WARNING!


Spinning a tire to get a stuck vehicle out of mud, ice, snow, sand, or wet grass can be
potentially dangerous. A spinning tire at a speedometer reading above 55 km/h
( 3

5 mph) can be capable of disintegrating a tire with explosive force. In some circum -
stances, a tire may be spinning at twice the speed displayed on the speedometer. This
c a

n cause serious injury or death to you, a passenger, or bystander. Never spin a tire
above 55 km/h (35 mph).

3. 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
door placard. Do not rely on car servicers to perform the checks. The tires should
be rotated at least every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or earlier if uneven wear is oc -
curring, and proof of maintenance records should be kept. The owner(s) should
h a

ve 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 partici -
pating car dealership. The owner(s) must present any supporting maintenance
r e

cords and documentation necessary to help determine if the tire(s) in question
are deemed covered by the limited warranty or not.
4. 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 Tire Corporation shall not be responsible for incidental
or consequential damages, such as loss of use of the tire or the vehicle on which

(“Authorized Dealer”). CTNA will replace the tire pursuant to the terms of this Limited
Warranty and Adjustment Policy. Tires that are replaced under an adjustment basis
under this Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy become the property of CTNA.
OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS

To make an eligible claim under this Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy, the owner
must present a claim with the tire to an authorized dealer. For the nearest authorized
dealer, consult the Yellow Pages, the General brand internet address, or the 800 telephone
numbers shown on the back of this Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy. Owner must
present new vehicle registration form or new vehicle sales invoice indicating the date of
purchase. Owner will be required to sign the CTNA Limited Warranty Claim Form or dealer
replacement sales receipt.

Owner is responsible for paying all applicable taxes set forth under this Limited Warranty
and

Adjustment Policy. Owner is also responsible for paying local tire disposal fees and any
parts or service regardless of mileage or months of service. This includes payment for tire
rotation, alignment, towing, road service, valve stems and tire repairs. Owner is
responsible for maintaining proper tire air pressure and for proper maintenance of the tire.

SAFETY WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this limited warranty and
Adjustment Policy may result in tire failure, causing serious injury or death.
• Tire failure due to underinflation/overloading.
Follow vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire
placard in vehicle for proper inflation and loading.
• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper tire mounting.
Tire mounting /
demounting can be dangerous. It should be performed only by a trained tire specialist
using proper tools and procedures. Prior to tire mounting/demounting, the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) wall charts and manuals should be read to obtain
the proper procedures. The failure to follow these procedures may result in faulty posi -
tioning of the tire and/or rim, which may cause the assembly to burst with force suffi -
cient to cause injury or death.

• T
ire failure due to damage.
Inspect your tires frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations,
cuts, snags and other damage from road hazards. Damage from impact can occur to the
inner portions of your tire without being visible to the outside. If you suspect a tire has
been damaged from striking anything unusual in the road, you must have the tire
removed from the rim and inspected both inside and out by a trained tire specialist. Air
loss or unusual tire wear can also be warning signs that a tire may have internal damage.
If you notice these conditions, have your tire inspected by a trained individual.

• Tire failure due to excessive tire spinning.
Avoid tire spinning. The centrifugal force
generated by a free-spinning tire/rim assembly may cause a sudden tire explosion
resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious injury or death. Never exceed 35 mph
( 5

5 km/h) as indicated on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud,
o r

sand and your tire(s) is/are spinning. Use a gentle backward and forward rocking
motion to free your vehicle for continued driving. Never stand or permit anyone else to
stand near or behind a tire spinning while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
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.

DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for signs of damage and their general
condition is important for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire dealer inspect
them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal
and expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as a
substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
Goodyear® does not warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is entirely the
responsibility of the repairer and should be made in accordance with established Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Alert
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on what to do if the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alert activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built and tested to the high engineering
standards set by North America’s leading car manufacturers and to Goodyear®’s own
high standards of quality control. It is designed to take up minimum storage space and,
at the same time, fulfill the function of a spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its
storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always ready for use, the air
pressure should be checked on a regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in combination with the original tires
on

your vehicle. You can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers),
d e

pending on road conditions and your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return
the spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to have the standard tire
repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a standard tire so it’s easier to
h a

ndle. It also helps reduce the total car weight, which contributes to fuel economy. The
wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary) Spare are specifically designed for use
with high pressure spares and should never be used with any other type tire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper
mounting procedures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to
rim diameter. Mount light truck radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not apply
bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and tire rim (including tube
or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or place in safety cage.
STAND BACK and never exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or
a rubber “donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only
specially trained persons should mount tires.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands of miles/kilometers of excellent
service. For maximum benefit, tires must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage
that may result in removal from service before the tread is worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of any specific tire in chronological
t i

me since service conditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time is a
function of the storage and service conditions (inflation pressure, load, speed, road
hazard injury, etc.) to which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely solely on the
appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change in dynamic performance such
as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a sign to remove the tire.
Therefore, it is essential to have tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and treadwear.
Check your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual (or your vehicle) to determine if it is equipped with
r u

n-flat (extended mobility) tires. If your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires, the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
E q

uipment tires supplied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear® Run-Flat (Extended
Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF]) or Dunlop® Run-Flat (Dunlop® Self-
Supporting Technology [DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated within this
Limited Warranty, Goodyear® or Dunlop® Run-Flat tires must use specific parts, such as
a low tire pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original Equipment vehicle
manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear® or Dunlop® Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire with a remarkable
f e

ature: It can operate for limited distances with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limitations). This is an important benefit,
especially if inflation loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping your vehicle
could be hazardous.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT:
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information on what to do if the tire
p r

essure warning system activates.
