TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING
Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact damage, improper
inflation, overloading 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 or death
and/or property damage. To reduce the risk of a tire failure, BFGoodrich® recommends
you thoroughly read and follow the recommendations in this BFGoodrich® Limited
Warranty/Owner’s Manual, the vehicle Owner’s Manual, tire placard information, and tire
sidewall information regarding safety warnings, proper tire use and maintenance.
CONTROLLABILITY
CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WHEN A TIRE FAILURE OCCURS
If a tire failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or the vehicle may
pu

ll toward the side of the failed tire. If possible, step on the accelerator momentarily to
maintain forward momentum and ensure vehicle control.
It is important that you DO NOT BRAKE OR ABRUPTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator and hold the steering wheel firmly while
s t

eering to remain in your lane. Once the vehicle has slowed and is fully under control,
apply the brakes gently; safely pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop. Inspect the
tires. If one or more tires look flat or low, show detachment or other damage, remove tire
assembly and replace it with a properly inflated spare. Bumps or bulges may indicate
detachment within the tire body and require inspection by a qualified tire technician.
WARNING!


DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND/OR INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

TIRE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need proper inflation pressure to operate effectively and perform as intended. Tires
carry the vehicle, passenger, and cargo loads and transmit the braking, acceleration, and
turning forces. The vehicle manufacturer recommends the inflation pressures for the
tires mounted on your vehicle.
These situations can cause a tire failure, even at a later date, which could lead to serious
pe

rsonal injury or death. Consult the vehicle tire information placard and/or Owner’s
Manual for the recommended inflation pressures. In addition to tire damage, improper
inflation pressure may also:
• A dversely affect vehicle ride and handling.
•
Reduce tire tread wear.
•
Affect fuel economy.
T
herefore, follow these important recommendations for tire and vehicle safety, mileage,
a n

d economy:
• Always keep the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure in all your
t
ires, including the spare.
• Check their pressure monthly and before long trips or carrying extra weight.
WARNING!


It is not often that a properly maintained tire will “blow out” while you are driving. More
commonly, if inflation pressure is lost, it will be gradual. If you do experience a blowout
or sudden tire failure, the following information should be helpful:
• W hen the failure occurs, you may hear a loud noise, feel a vibration, and/or the
v
ehicle may pull toward the side of the failed tire.
• D O NOT abruptly brake or turn.
•
Slowly remove your foot from the accelerator, hold the steering wheel firmly, and
s
teer to maintain your lane position.
• O nce the vehicle has slowed, apply the brakes gently.
•
Gradually pull over to the shoulder and come to a stop, as far off the road as
p
ossible.
WARNING!


Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous.
• U nder-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal structural damage.
•
Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires to be cut, punctured, or broken by sudden
i
mpact.

CONTINENTAL TIRE
67
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying the percentage of the usable
tread worn by the Dealers Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of the
adjustment. The usable tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32 of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining.)
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY

of
tread wear or 12 months of service, whichever comes first.
• Repairs:
If a tire is returned under complaint and the reason for the tire’s disablement
is in any way associated with a repair, or with the situation that led to the repair, the
manufacturer’s warranty is invalidated.
• Mileage:
Tread wear out up to a predetermined mileage is not covered under this
policy.
• Improper operation or maintenance:
This includes, but is not limited to, effects caused
by:
1. Improper tire inflation and/or improper load/speed practices: These practices
can cause excessive operational temperatures and stresses that exceed the
tire’s capabilities.
2. Improper or insufficient tire rotation

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).
