SAFETY WARNING:
Ignoring any of the safety and information contained in this warranty may result in tire
f a
ilure, 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 US Tire
Manufacturers Association (USTMA) 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, separa -
tions, cuts, snags and other damage from road hazards. Damage from impact can
o c
cur 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.
• T ire failure due to excessive tire spinning. A
void 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
5km/h) as indicated on your speedometer when your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud,
or 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.
SELF SUPPORTING RUNFLAT (SSR) TIRE OWNERS
Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (CTA) does not recommend any repair to or reuse of
punctured Continental SSR tires.
Even a trained tire specialist may be unable to recognize internal structural damage to a
S e
lf Supporting Run-flat (SSR) tire resulting from having been driven in an under inflated
or zero inflation pressure condition. Such damage may not be visible on the surface of
the inner liner or sidewall making it impossible to determine the tire suitability for repair
or reuse. CTA does not recommend any repair to or reuse of Continental SSR tires. You
may visit https://www.continentaltire.com/ or www.continentaltire.ca and select
Customer Care FAQs to obtain additional SSR information.
FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION 74
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.

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).

104HANKOOK TIRES
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ORIGINA L EQUIPMENT PASSENGER CAR & LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
INCLUDING TEMPORARY TIRES
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Hankook warrants that a tire manufactured by Hankook and equipped originally on the
vehicle is free from defects in materials or workmanship in normal use for the life of the
original usable tread. The life of the original usable tread ends when the tire tread has
been worn down with only 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) remaining, at which point the tire is
considered to be fully worn out.
PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES Free Replacement
If Hankook Radial Passenger & Light Truck Tires fail as a result of defect in material and/
or workmanship within the first 25% of treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new,
comparable Hankook Tire at no charge including mounting and balancing charges.
Prorated Replacement
Tires not qualifying for free replacement will be allowed a credit toward purchase of a
new, comparable Hankook Tire based upon the amount of tread actually worn. The cost
of mounting, balancing and any other service charges or applicable taxes shall be paid
by the user. Otherwise adjustment for compensation will be made on a prorata basis
calculated by multiplying the actual current dealer selling price by the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth.
HANKOOK TEMPORARY TIRE
A Temporary tire weighs less and provides more trunk storage space than a conventional
tire. To conserve tire tread life, temporary tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as
it is convenient to have your standard tire repaired or replaced.
If Hankook Temporary Tire fails as a result of defect in materials and/or workmanship
during the first 50 % of usable treadwear, the tire will be replaced with a new, comparable
tire at no charge including mounting charge. No adjustment will be made for tires that
are worn more than 50%.
