the tire.
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.

TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE OWNERS
CTA does not recommend any repair to or reuse of punctured Temporary Spare Tires.
CONTISEAL™ TIRE OWNERS
A ContiSeal™ tire differs from a non-ContiSeal™ tire in that it has a
sticky, viscous layer from shoulder to shoulder along the inner liner.
T h

is layer is an integral part of the ContiSeal™ tires. It is not designed or intended to act
as a permanent puncture repair (See information below). If an object up to 3/16 of an
inch (5 mm) diameter penetrates the tread of the ContiSeal™ tire, this sticky, viscous
l a

yer is designed to surround and adhere to the puncturing object and prevent air loss
from the tire by providing a near instantaneous seal. If the puncturing object becomes
dislodged from the tire, the material is designed to seal most holes made by objects up
to 3/16 of an inch (5 mm) diameter. While ContiSeal™ tires significanty reduce the
i n

cidence of flats they are not designed to be driven under inflated or in a flat condition.
In all other aspects, ContiSeal™ tires perform exactly like non-ContiSeal™ tires. As with
any tire, regularly inspect ContiSeal™ tires for evidence of cuts, punctures, and loss of
inflation pressure. At a minimum, ContiSeal™ tires should be inspected once or twice a
month and always before a long trip. Punctures or damage not attended to promptly can
result in loss of inflation pressure and/or damage to the tire. ContiSeal™ tires with cuts
and punctures must be inspected by a trained tire specialist as soon as possible. The
trained specialist, must inspect the tire carefully and, according to industry standards, to
determine whether a permanent repair can be made or whether the tire must be
removed from service and scrapped. A permanent repair will require removal of the tire
from the rim and application of a repair method specifically approved for the ContiSeal™
tires.
ContiSeal™ tires are identified by a symbol on the tire sidewall.
CONTISILENT™ TIRE OWNERS
ContiSilent™ tires are designed to reduce noise generated while
driving. A ContiSilent™ tire is lined with a noise reducing foam
i n

sert. It is not designed or intended to act as a puncture repair.
USING ContiSilent™ Tires
In aspects such as mounting, demounting, inflating and balancing, ContiSilent™ tires do
n o

t differ from non-ContiSilent™ tires. As with any tire, regularly inspect ContiSilent™
tires for evidence of cuts, punctures, and loss of inflation pressure. At a minimum,
ContiSilent™ tires should be inspected once or twice a month and always before a long
trip. Punctures or damage not attended to promptly can result in loss of inflation
pressure and/or damage to the tire. ContiSilent™ tires with cuts and punctures must be
inspected by a trained tire specialist as soon as possible. The trained tire specialist must
inspect the tire carefully and, according to industry standards, determine whether a
permanent repair can be made or whether the tire must be removed from service and
scrapped.

FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION
FALKEN
MADE BY SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES
Congratulations!
Your new vehicle is fitted with high performance and high quality Falken tires.
In order to guarantee that you receive the best performance and quality from your new
Fal

ken tires, we recommend that you read and follow all of the maintenance and safety
tips provided in this document. We also suggest that you have your Falken tires
periodically inspected and maintained by a qualified tire service professional.
A) TIRE CARE AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PROPER INFLATION AND FUEL ECONOMY

Ensure maximum performance and a long life from your tires by checking the air pressures
at

least once a month and set them to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
pressure(s) listed on the vehicle’s tire placard or in your Owner’s Manual. Always check and
adjust your air pressure when your tires are cold, preferably first thing in the morning before
driving. Never release air pressure from tires when they are hot. Wait until the tires cool
down and recheck, adding air or releasing as required. Falken endorses the use of nitrogen
in your tires because it helps your tires maintain optimal pressure for longer periods of time
and reduces the amount of moisture inside of the tire and wheel assembly.

Some plus size applications may require different air pressure(s) than what is listed on
yo u

r vehicle’s placard or Owner’s Manual. In this case, please consult your tire dealer or
Falken Tire for proper inflation pressure(s).
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need to be properly inflated to effectively operate and perform as intended. Tires
ca r

ry the weight of the vehicle, passengers, and cargo as well as bear the forces of
braking, accelerating, and turning. The vehicle manufacturer sets the inflation pressures
for the original equipment tires that are on your vehicle.
Driving with improperly inflated tires is dangerous. An underinflated tire will generate
ex c

essive heat build-up that will cause damage to the internal structure and inner liner
of the tire. Besides tire damage, improper tire inflation pressures can also affect your
vehicle’s ride and handling, tire tread wear, and fuel economy. It is recommended to
always keep all of your tires, including the spare, at the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended inflation pressures and be sure to check the air pressure monthly and
before going on long road trips or carrying extra weight in your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s tire placard and/or Owner’s Manual will list the cold inflation pressure(s)
fo r

your vehicle’s original equipment tires, including the spare. The placard can be found
on the driver side door or door jamb area. If you have questions about understanding
your vehicle’s tire placard, please refer to your Owner’s Manual or ask a qualified tire
service professional.

FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION

Example of what your tire placard looks like:
CHECKING YOUR TIRE AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital to help your tires perform
p r

operly and help you get the best gas mileage possible. Tires can lose up to 7 kPa
(1 psi) per month under normal conditions and lose up to 7 kPa (1 psi) per every 9°C
( 1

6°F) drop in temperature. Here are some simple steps on how to check the air
pressures in your tires:
1. R emove the valve stem cap.
2
. P lace the end of the tire gauge firmly against the tire’s valve stem.
3
. R ead the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently in the tire.
4
. I ncrease pressure at this time (if needed) and recheck with your tire gauge.
5
. R eplace the valve stem cap.
6
. R epeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted accordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety system found in most
vehicles manufactured after 2005. There are pressure sensing transmitters
mo

unted inside of each tire that send readings to the central computer in your
vehicle. The TPMS system will alert you when one or more of your tires are
underinflated by 25% or more by turning on a warning light on your vehicle’s
dashboard or Heads Up Display (HUD) screen. This means that one or more of your tires
may have a low-pressure condition. Follow the instructions in your Owner’s Manual.
ROTATION AND WEAR
Falken recommends rotating your tires at least every 8,000 km (5,000 miles).
Pe
riodically inspecting your tires to make sure they are free of road hazards (such as
nails, screws, large wood splinters, etc.) that might penetrate your tires causing them to
lose air pressure and to ensure they are wearing evenly. Common irregular wear patterns
are: misalignment wear, where the tire shows excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire
sidewalls should also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises, and weather cracking. If any

Possible non-Covered Reasons/Conditions:
3. 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
door placard. Do not rely on car servicers to perform the checks. The tires should
be rotated at least every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or earlier if uneven wear is oc -
curring, and proof of maintenance records should be kept. The owner(s) should
h a

ve 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 partici -
pating car dealership. The owner(s) must present any supporting maintenance
r e

cords and documentation necessary to help determine if the tire(s) in question
are deemed covered by the limited warranty or not.

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 Tire Corporation 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 limita -
tions on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of inci -
dental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
a p

ply 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 ap -
plicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the terms of any previous warran -
