The vehicle or TPMS manufacturer may advise checking the TPMS regularly to confirm it
is in working order. In addition, a new pressure sensor, certain components, or
reprogramming may be necessary when a tire is serviced. Consult your vehicle Owner’s
Manual, vehicle manufacturer, or a Bridgestone® Firestone® Run-Flat Certified Retailer
for questions regarding TPMS operation and service.
RUN-FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE OPERATION
General Instructions
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) required in your vehicle may have different
m e

thods of alerting you when your tire has lost inflation pressure. The international
standard for the definition of run-flat operation is pressure at or below 10 psi (70 kPa);
however, some vehicle manufacturers may have established a different pressure limit.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the details of your TPMS. Once the TPMS has
indicated that a tire has reduced inflation pressure, the run-flat mode of operation has
commenced. During this phase of operation, please follow these instructions:
• Reduce speed as much as safely and reasonably possible; do not exceed 50 m
ph
(8
0 km/h). The greater the speed, the less distance the tire can travel.
• Avoid abrupt or aggressive acceleration, braking, or cornering maneuvers as much as
s
afely and reasonably possible. Pot holes and other road hazards should be avoided.
Careful driving limits potential damage to the tire, wheel, and vehicle.
• Proceed to a safe and convenient location for tire service as soon as possible.
Take
note of your mileage; your operation distance is limited. See "Distance—How Far You
Can Drive,” the next section in this manual.
• If an unusual vibration or vehicle handling difficulty arises, stop driving as soon as
s
afely and reasonably possible. The tire may be about to suddenly fail. Release the
accelerator and gradually reduce speed. The tire will need to be replaced before
proceeding.
• If towing a trailer, stop driving as soon as safely and reasonably possible. In this condi -
t
ion, it is potentially dangerous to operate a vehicle/trailer combination. I
f possible,
disconnect the trailer and proceed as noted above. Do not continue to tow any trailer
until proper tire service or replacement has been performed.
• Do not touch a tire recently run-low or run-flat (it may be very hot).
Allow the tire to cool
before handling.
WARNING!


Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure or accident due to
improper run-flat or low tire pressure operation. Read and follow the instructions
below, and the other maintenance and safety recommendations elsewhere in this
manual.

DISTANCE—HOW FAR YOU CAN DRIVE
Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating distance include vehicle speed,
load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure loss; the extent of any tire
damage; and ambient temperature.
The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire pressure operating speed
an

d/or distance limitations, which vary by tire design and vehicle application (consult
your vehicle owner’s manual). By international standard, RFT tires have a baseline
limitation in run-flat mode of the following:
NOTE:
• M aximum distance values are determined under controlled conditions, which may
v
ary in actual use.
• Y our mileage capability may be less, or more, depending on your specific operating
c
onditions.
• I f in doubt, do not exceed the 50
mile (80 km) limitation.
• S eek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire damage.

regardless of mileage or months of service. This includes payment for tire rotation,
alignment, towing, road service, valve stems and tire repairs.
Owner is responsible for maintaining proper tire air pressure and for proper maintenance
o f

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.

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.
