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’s door placard. Do not rely on car
servicers to perform the checks. The tires
should be rotated at least every
8,000km (5,000 miles) or earlier if
uneven wear is occurring, and proof of
maintenance records should be kept.
The owner(s) should have 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 participating
car dealership. The owner(s) must present
any supporting maintenance records and
documentation necessary to help
determine if the tire(s) in question are
deemed covered by the limited warranty or
not.

WARNING!
DISREGARDING ANY OF THE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN
THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN
TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION
CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT
DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION
PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS
Any under inflated tire builds up
excessive heat that may result in sudden
tire destruction. If tires are supplied as
original equipment, refer to the tire decal
on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or
vehicle owner’s manual for decal
location) for the recommended
operating pressures. For replacement
tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your tire retailer; if not, refer
to the vehicle decal.
These inflation pressures must be
maintained as a minimum. However, do
not exceed the maximum pressure rating
indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK THE COLD INFLATION
PRESSURES IN ALL YOUR
TIRES, INCLUDING THE
SPARE, AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
Failure to maintain correct inflation may
result in improper vehicle handling and
may cause rapid and irregular tire wear,
sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury.
Therefore, inflation pressures should be
checked at least once each month and
always prior to long distance trips. This
applies to all tires, including self-sealant
types, self-supporting run flat types and
other extended mobility tires, which are as
susceptible to losing air pressure as any
other type of tire, if not properly
maintained.
Pressures should be checked when tires
are cold, in other words, before they have
been driven on. Driving, even for a short
distance, causes tires to heat up and air
pressure to increase.
Checking pressure when tires are hot:
If pressures are checked after tires have
been driven for more than three minutes
or more than 1 mile (2 km), the tires
become hot and the pressures will
increase by approximately 4 psi
(27.6 kPa). Therefore when the tire
pressure is adjusted under these
conditions, it should be increased to a
gauge reading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greater
than the recommended cold inflation
pressure.
SafetyInformation
58

For Example Only
Gauge reading of
hot tire33 psi (230 kPa)
If recommended,
cold inflation
pressure is 32 psi (220 kPa)
The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi
(10 kPa) greater than the
recommended cold inflation pressure.
Therefore, add 3 psi (20 kPa) more to
increase the hot pressure to 4 psi
(30 kPa) over the recommended cold
inflation pressure.
New hot pressure 36 psi (250 kPa)
TIRE SPINNING
Do not spin wheels in excess of 35 mph
(55 km/h) as indicated on the
speedometer. Excessive speed in a
free-running, unloaded tire can cause it
to “explode” from centrifugal force. The
energy released by such an explosion is
sufficient to cause serious physical injury
or death. Never allow anyone to stand
near or behind the spinning tire.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other
slippery conditions, do not engage in
excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the
motor excessively, particularly with
automatic transmission vehicles, may
cause a drive tire that has lost traction to
spin beyond its speed capability. This is
also true when balancing a drive
tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using
the vehicle engine to spin the tire/wheel
assembly.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is especially
important. However, at high speeds, even
with the correct inflation pressure, a road
hazard for example is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, has a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at a
lower speed. Moreover, driving at high
speed reduces the reaction time available
to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or wheel,
replace it with the spare at once and visit
a participating Tire Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds shown
on the following page for each type of tire
will cause the tire to build up excessive
heat which can cause tire damage that
could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle
when one or more tires experience a
sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed
reasonable speeds as indicated by the
legal limits and driving conditions.
SPEED RATINGS
Speed symbols are shown on the sidewall
of some tires. The following table shows
the maximum speed corresponding to the
symbol.

*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.
