2. Possible NON Covered Reasons/Conditions due to:
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.
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 Tires 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 limitations on how long an 
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or \
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not 
apply 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 applicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the 
terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither assumes nor authorizes 
anyone to make or assume for it any other warranty.
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.

Tire Sidewall Labeling
Max Load and Inflation
The maximum load and inflation pressure is marked on the tire sidewall 
in English and metric units.
Ply Composition and Materials
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials  
in the sidewall and tread areas can be found on at least one sidewall  
of a tire.
Radial Marking
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least on\
e 
sidewall. An “R” found in the tire size marking also refers to the tire 
being a radial ply tire.

grade for each tire 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.

What Is a Comparable Tire?
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may be either the same line of 
tire or, in the event that the same tire is not available, a tire of the 
same basic construction and quality with a different sidewall or tread 
configuration. If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the 
difference in price will be at an additional charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty will be covered \
by the Goodyear warranty in effect at the time of replacement.

punctures, cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.). Wreck, collision, or

CONSUMER RIGHTS
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have 
other rights that vary from state to state.
OWNER’S OBLIGATl0N
When making a claim, you must return the tire to be replaced to your 
Kenda Tires dealer.
Proper vehicle and tire care is necessary to obtain the expected wear 
from a tire. It is your obligation to properly maintain your tires and 
the vehicle upon which they are mounted, including: (A) operating 
your tires at the inflation pressures recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer, (B) keeping your tire/wheel assemblies in balance. (C) 
proper wheel alignment, and (D) rotation. You must check your tire’s air 
pressure at least monthly and before long trips.
We recommend that you have your Kenda Tires dealer inspect your 
tires any time you notice irregular or uneven tread wear and rotate 
them, if necessary. Also, they should be inspected by your dealer any 
time your vehicle is brought in for service.
TREADWEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For those qualifying brand tires listed in the product chart (see below), 
Kenda Tires will provide prorated credit towards the purchase of a 
comparable brand tire.
You will be responsible for the prorated cost of a replacement  
tire, and also mounting and balancing costs, taxes and any  
other charges.
The prorated cost of a replacement tire is determined as follows:
(Actual miles driven) ÷ (Amount of warranted miles) X (Actual current 
dealer selling price)
