B) LIMITED WARRANTY
This limited warranty applies to Falken brand original equipment passenger car,
temporary spare, and light truck steel belted radial tires bearing the complete
description and serial number required by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This
warranty is effective only to tires for which claims are made within five years of the date
of production, based on the tire DOT serial number.
1. WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Falken tires that are originally equipped on this vehicle are warranted against
any defects in the materials and workmanship for the usable life of the original
tread. The limited warranty terminates at the flush appearance of the tread wear
indicators at 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) remaining tread depth.
• Free Replacement - If a tire becomes unserviceable due to such defect within the
first 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread wear, the tire will be replaced free of charge
w i

th the same or comparable Falken tire.
• P rorated Replacement - After the first 1.6
mm (2/32 of an inch) of wear, a prorated
ad
justment credit will be given based on the percentage of remaining usable tread
depth, down to the remaining 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) tread wear bar indicator.
N o

credit is given if the tire is worn beyond the flush appearance of the tread wear
bar indicator (less than 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) tread depth remaining).
• O ut-of-Round/Out-of-Balance Replacement- Tires that are deemed to be
o
ut-of-round or out-of-balance will be accepted for adjustment during the first
0.8 mm (1/32 of an inch) of the original tread depth and will be replaced free of
c h

arge with the same or similar Falken tires (no labor costs will be covered). A set
of four (4) tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted for out-of-round or
out-of-balance claims.
2. W HAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
•
Tires that become unserviceable due to road hazard damages (cuts, snags, punc -
t
ures, bruises, impact breaks, etc.) improper repair technique or materials,

Possible non-Covered Reasons/Conditions:
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
it is used, inconvenience, or commercial loss, some states do not allow limita -
tions on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of inci -
dental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
a p

ply 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 ap -
plicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the terms of any previous warran -
ty. Falken neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to make or assume for it any
o t

her warranty.

C) 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 four
digits of the 12-digit Department of Transportation (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
four digits of the serial code will identify the week and the year that the tire was
manufactured. If the last four digits in the DOT serial code were to read “3013” it would
mean that the tire was manufactured the 30th week of 2013. If you are uncertain, check
with a qualified tire service professional to be sure.Speed Symbol

DOT Symbol And DOT Serial Code
The “DOT” symbol claims that the tire conforms to all applicable US DOT motor vehicle
sa

fety standards for tires. The identification/serial number follows the “DOT” symbol.
Here is an example of a DOT serial code:
TIRE SIDEWALL LABELING
MAX LOAD AND INFLATION
The maximum load and inflation pressure are marked on the tire sidewall in english and
m e

tric units.
PLY COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials in the sidewall and
tr
ead areas can be found on at least one sidewall of a tire.
(a) DOT Symbol (d) Tire Manufacturer’s Code
(b) Manufacture Plant Code (e) Week of Production (01-52)
(c) Tire Size Code (f) Year of Production (last two digits of year)

RADIAL MARKING
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least one sidewall. An “R” found
i n

the tire size marking also refers to the tire being a radial ply tire.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING (UTQG) SYSTEM
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) Standards were created to help you make an
informed decision when purchasing passenger car tires by providing relative information
about a tire’s treadwear, traction, and temperature characteristics. Here is a breakdown
of the different categories that the UTQG grades:
TREAD WEAR
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when
te

sted under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1½) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and
climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA

, A, B and C. Those grades represent
the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specific government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance
to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled
conditions or on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce in tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than minimum required by law.
WARNING!


The traction grades assigned to this tire is based on straight ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for each tie is established for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading either
separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
