HOW REPLACEMENT
CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck
Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due
to a condition covered by this
workmanship and materials limited
warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new Michelin tire, free of
charge, when 2/32” (1.6 mm) or less of
the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less,
whichever is more beneficial to the user)
and within 12 months of the date of
purchase. Mounting and balancing of the
tire is included.You pay the cost of any
other service charges and applicable
taxes.
When more than 2/32” (1.6 mm) of
original tread has been worn (or more
than 25%, whichever is more beneficial
to the user) or after 12 months from date
of purchase, you must pay the cost of a
comparable new Michelin passenger or
light truck replacement tire on a prorated
basis. The retailer will determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn, by the
current selling price at the adjustment
location or the price in the current
Michelin Base Price List, whichever is
lower.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST
DO WHEN MAKING A CLAIM
When making a claim under the terms of
this limited warranty, you must present
your tire(s) to a participating Michelin tire
retailer. The vehicle on which the tires
were used must be available for
inspection. Personal identification (i.e. driver’s license,
credit card, etc.) and vehicle registration
may be required.
You pay service charges for normal vehicle
and tire maintenance.

safety warnings and terms and
conditions set forth below. Please read

FOR HOW LONG
Should any passenger or light truck tire
manufactured by Linglong Tire covered by

on the vehicle on which they were
originally fitted and in accordance with the
maintenance recommendations an safety
warnings, become unserviceable due to
defects in materials or workmanship
during its useable tread life (more than
2/32” remaining tread), or five years from
date of manufacture, or six years from date

brand Original Equipment Passenger Car,
Temporary Spare, and Light Truck steel
belted radial tires bearing the complete

This warranty is effective only to tires for
which claims are made within 6 (six)
years of the date of production, based on
the tire DOT serial number.
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 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) remaining tread depth.
Free Replacement
If a tire becomes unserviceable due to
such defect within the first 1.6mm

will be replaced free of charge with the
same or comparable Falken tire
(mounting and balancing labor covered).
Prorated Replacement
After the first 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of
wear, a prorated adjustment credit will
be given based on the percentage of
remaining usable tread depth, down to
the remaining 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch)
tread wear bar indicator (mounting and
balancing labor covered). No credit is
given if the tire is worn beyond the flush
appearance of the tread wear bar
indicator (less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an
inch) tread depth remaining).Out-of-Round / Out-of-Balance
Replacement
Tires that are deemed to be out-of-round
or out-of-balance will be accepted for

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a
speed capacity greater than 149 mph
(240 km/h). Consult your tire retailer for
maximum speed rating if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to
use on cars with maximum speed
capabilities in excess of 149 mph
(240 km/h). (W and Y speed ratings are
sub-categories of Z).
Consult your tire retailer for maximum
speed capabilities.
Although a tire may be speed-rated, we
do not endorse the operation of any
vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.
Speed ratings are based on laboratory
tests which relate to performance on the
road, but are not applicable if tires are
underinflated, overloaded, worn out,
damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or
retreaded. Furthermore, a tire’s speed
rating does not imply that vehicles can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for
which the tire is rated, particularly under
adverse road and weather conditions or if
the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Highway passenger tires that do not have
a speed symbol on the sidewall have a
maximum speed rating of 105 mph
(170 km/h). Light truck highway tires that
do not have a speed symbol on the
sidewall of the tire have a maximum
speed rating of 87 mph (140 km/h).
The speed and other ratings of retreaded
tires are assigned by the retreader and
replace the original manufacturer’s
ratings.
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the
speed capability of the vehicle,
replacement tires must have speed
ratings equal to or higher than those
fitted as original equipment (as indicated
on the vehicle tire placard or owner’s
manual). If tires with lower speed ratings
are fitted, the vehicle’s handling may be
affected and the speed capability of the
vehicle will be lowered to the maximum
speed capability of the replacement tires
as indicated in the table above.

TIRE MIXING
For best performance it is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used
on all four wheel positions. Before mixing
tires of different types in any configuration
on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle
manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for its
recommendations.
It is especially important to check the
vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual
when mixing, matching, or replacing tires
on 4-wheel drive vehicles, as this may
require special precautions.
NOTE:Tires which meet the U.S. Tire
Manufacturers Association (USTMA)
definition of snow tires are marked M/S,
M+S or M&S. On such tires, this
designation is molded into the sidewall.
Tires without this notation are not
recommended for winter driving.
Tires designated for use in severe winter
conditions are marked on at least one
sidewall with the letters ‘‘M” and ‘‘S” plus
a pictograph of a mountain with a
snowflake on it. It is recommended that
winter tires be applied to all four wheel
positions. Failure to do so may negatively
affect vehicle handling.
TIRE ROTATION
To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be
necessary to rotate your tires. Refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual for
instructions on tire rotation.
NOTE: Your vehicle may be equipped
with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel.
A dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined
as a spare tire and/or wheel that is
different in brand, size or appearance
from the road tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel it is
intended for temporary use only and
should not be used in a tire rotation.
NOTE:
After having your tires rotated,
inflation pressure must be checked and
adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
Monthly inspection for tire wear is
recommended. Your tires should be
rotated at the first sign of irregular wear,
even if it occurs before the next
recommended rotation interval for your
vehicle. This is true for all vehicles. When
rotating tires with a directional tread
pattern, observe the arrows molded on
the sidewall which show the direction the
tire should turn. Care must be taken to
maintain the proper turning direction. As a
general rule, whenever only two tires are
replaced, the new ones should be put on
the rear.
CUSTOMIZATION OF TIRES,
WHEELS, OR SUSPENSION
ON SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
Due to their size, weight and higher center
of gravity, vehicles such as SUVs and light
trucks do not have the same handling
characteristics as automobiles. Because
of these differing characteristics, failure to
operate your SUV/truck in a proper and
safe manner can increase the likelihood of
vehicle rollover. Modifications to your
SUV/truck tire size, tire type, wheels or
suspension can change its handling
characteristics and further increase the
likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether
your SUV/truck has the original
equipment configuration for tires, wheels
and suspension or whether any of these
items have been modified, always drive
safely, avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane
