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.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
No Representative or dealer has authority to make any representation, promise or

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.
DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND GOODYEAR® HEREBY DISCLAIMS,
AN
Y AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

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
following applies:

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.
