2. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against thetire’s valve stem.
3. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently in the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and re- check with your tire gauge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6. Repeat 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 mounted
inside of each tire that sends readings to the central
computer (ECU) in your vehicle. The TPMS system will
alert you when one or more of your tires are underin-
flated 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
8,000km (5,000 miles) and periodically 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 irregu-
lar wear patterns are: misalignment wear, where the tire
shows excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire side- walls should also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises,
and weather cracking. If any of these noted conditions
are present during inspection, we recommend returning
to your servicing tire dealer to be corrected to ensure
long tire life.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread
wears down to the wear bars at 1.6mm (2/32 of an
inch) , which are located across the tread in several
locations around the tire. If only two tires are being
replaced, the two new tires should always be installed
on the rear of the vehicle to aid in preventing your
vehicle from hydroplaning, even if your car is front wheel
drive. It’s always recommended to have your new tires
balanced during installation, and alignment checked if
the previous tires show and irregular wear. Tires that
have been in use for 5 (five) years or more should
continue to be inspected by a qualified tire specialist, at
least annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 (ten)
years old or older from the date of manufacture, includ-
ing spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a precau-
tion even if such tires appear serviceable and even if
they have not reached the legal worn out limit at 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) .
TIRE REPAIRS
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best
to find a nearby, safe place to stop and install your spare
tire or call a tow truck. The less distance that you drive
on your low or flat tire, the better chances your tire has of
being repairable. Once you are able to get to your local
servicing tire dealer, have them dismount the tire fromthe rim and thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is
important to know the difference between a proper tire
repair and an improper one because it can be critical to
you and your vehicle’s safety. An improper repair could
pose a safety threat to you and your family and could
also affect your tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are
some tips in determining if your damaged tire can be
properly repaired or not:
●Always have the tire removed from the wheel and
inspected before any repair is performed.
●Tires with less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread
should NOT be repaired.
●Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6mm
(1/4 of an inch) .
●Repairs should be limited to the tread area only.
●Repairs cannot overlap one another.
●A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be
used to effectively repair a tire puncture.
●If anything seems questionable at any time during the
repair process, ask your service advisor for more
details and/or call the tire manufacturer to make sure
the tire’s warranty isn’t being voided.

TIRE MIX USAGE
WARNINGSAFETY WARNING
Never mix tires of different size or con-
struction and/or type on any axle. (Except
for temporary use as a spare tire.) Always
refer to the vehicle’s owner manual for
proper tire fitments.
TIRE SPEED RATINGS
Falken recommends replacing your tire(s) with the same
speed rating as the original tires equipped on your
vehicle.
It is okay to use a lower speed rated tire when using
winter tires. However, speeds should be reduced to
match the tires new “maximum” speed capability.
Any tire that is repaired, damaged, abused, altered from
its original state or retreaded voids the speed rating on
that particular tire and should be considered a non-
speed rated tire.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Falken does not recommend the use of
mixing different speed ratings on a ve-
hicle. This can cause poor handling and
unpredictable steering.
HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW ASPECT RATIO
TIRES
Various new vehicles come equipped with high perfor-
mance and/or low aspect ratio tires from the factory.
These tires generally provide increased vehicle handling
characteristics, but may also have engineering perfor-
mance trade-offs related with their designs. Low aspect
ratio tires have reduced sidewall heights and may be
more vulnerable to damage from road hazards, pot-
holes, and other objects, like curbs. Your vehicle’s
wheels are susceptible to these same dangers as well.
Some vehicles may be originally equipped with high
performance tires that are designed for warmer weather
use reducing traction in colder, winter weather condi-
tions. High performance tires also pose the possibility of
wearing more quickly, giving a stiffer ride, and produc-
ing louder noise than standard all-season tires during
operation. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual, tire
information placard, or qualified tire service professional
for more information about these kinds of tires.
WINTER TIRES
Falken recommends all four tires be replaced when
replacing your original equipment tires and installing
winter tires for the winter months.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Never use just two winter tires. It could
lead to adverse handling, loss of control,
which could cause serious injury or death.
STORING YOUR TIRES
When storing your tires for any extended period of time, be
sure to thoroughly clean your tires with a tire brush, soap,
and water to remove any dirt, salt, and brake dust from the
tires. If you are storing your tires still mounted on the
wheels, use a wheel brush and approved wheel cleaner to
clean your wheels. Then dry the wheels and tires with a
towel and allow them to fully dry. DO NOT apply any tire
dressings while storing your tires. Tire compounds are
made to resist weather cracking and ozone damage. Place
each clean and dry tire in an airtight plastic bag and seal the
bag with tape to help reduce oil evaporation. Store your
tires out of direct sunlight and somewhere that is well
shielded from the elements, like a climate-controlled room
or dry basement. Storing the tires in a garage or shed
usually exposes the tires to a wide range of temperatures
as well as precipitation and humidity. Keep the tires away
from sources that emit ozone like electric motors that use
contact brushes, furnaces, sump pumps, etc. Although
tires will still age regardless of how they are stored, these
precautions will help slow the aging process and reduce
the damage to your tires.
WARNING SAFETY WARNING
Operating your vehicle in excess of the
posted speed limit or the maximum speed
allotted by driving conditions has the po-
tential to be dangerous. Higher driving
speeds create excessive heat buildup in a
tire, leading to a possible tire failure.

CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:(1) It is recommended tires be rotated every 3,500 miles or less for high performance (low
profile) tires or every 7,500 miles or less for
standard passenger and light truck tires. More
frequent rotation may be necessary if, upon
inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. As a general rule, front
and rear tire tread depth differential should be
kept to 2/32nds of an inch or less. Keep a
record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recom- mended air pressure in the tires according to
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Check inflation pressures on all your tires, in-
cluding the spare tire, when tires are cold, at
least once a month before driving. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most
important thing you can do to ensure optimum
tread life and tire durability. To avoid injury,
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run se-
verely underinflated.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment in accordance with vehicle manu-
facturer’s specifications.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded. (5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not
be exceeded.
(6) Follow the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Owner’s
Manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation section of this booklet.
TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
In the event that you make a claim under the terms of the
warranty, we ask the consumer to:
(1) Present your tires and your vehicle to an au- thorized Toyo dealer. Call consumer relations
at (800) 442- 8696 (Pacific Time) or (888)
444-8696 (Eastern Time) for assistance locat-
ing the nearest Toyo tire dealer or visit our
web site at www.toyo.com for our dealer
locator.
(2) Complete and sign the Toyo Limited Warranty Claim form provided by the dealer and leave
the tire with the dealer for warranty
processing.
NOTE: Check with your vehicle dealership. They may
also assist you with your tire service requirements or in
obtaining tire warranty service from the tire manufac-
turer.
The consumer is entitled to an adjustment in accor-
dance with the warranty that was in effect when the tire
was installed on the vehicle as original equipment. The
adjustment policy provides for replacement with a com-
parable new Toyo tire if a Toyo tire becomes unservice- able due to an adjustable condition verified by Toyo’s
inspection of the tire. Free replacement or a pro rata
charge depends on the remaining usable tread when
tire is presented for adjustment.
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO
THE 50 UNITED STATES, AND THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA. THIS WARRANTY IS THE ONLY
WRITTEN WARRANTY PROVIDED BY TOYO.
No

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS):Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the
grooves of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining.
At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires
worn beyond this stage are dangerous.
* Provided by and published at the request of the tire
manufacturers/warrantors.
HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal,
rocks, wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact
should prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can
damage or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle
experiences any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or
noise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the
tires or vehicle has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK
YOUR BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop
and inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or
damaged, deflate, remove the tire and rim assembly and
replace it with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause,
have the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire
dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire
yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and must be
done by professionally trained persons using proper
tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manu-
facturers Association (RMA) . Follow these mounting
recommendations. Your tires should be mounted on
wheels of correct size and type and which are in good,
clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may
cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free
from foreign materials. Have your dealer check the
wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires
and rims can explode during mounting. Also, mis-
matched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire
failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the
wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the proper rim -
scrap it. It may be damaged internally (which is not
externally visible) by being dangerously stretched and
could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-
signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety
humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an inner tube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps.
This will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard
against leakage. REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE.
Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in
the tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of
an inch (6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by
following the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association
(RMA) Passenger and Light Truck Repair procedures.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for its position
and assistance as to the acceptable location for a
proper repair and the repair of speed rated tires. Do not
use plug repairs. They may cause further damage
to the tire. They are not always air tight and the
plug may fail. Do not exceed posted speed limits on
any repaired tire. Certain tire manufacturers speed rat-
ings are voided if the tire is repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds
1/4 inch (6mm) , the tire must be replaced. If any tire has
sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally
by a tire dealer for possible damage that may have
occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause
an explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially
trained persons should perform these tasks. Contact
your tire store or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION -Never, under any circumstance, intro-
duce a flammable substance into a tire.

REPLACING TWO TIRES
If your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires that
were the same size and you are only replacing two of the
four tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing
new tires on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle
control in some driving conditions and cause an acci-
dent and personal injury.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire
dealer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and
pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type
and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case
must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load
rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and your
Owner’s Manual for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which can result in an accident. Tires which be-
come unserviceable due to alterations such as truing,
whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids,
may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your
tire warranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissanvehicle is designed for temporary use only and
must not be used continually as a regular tire.
The standard tire should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as
potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions
and your driving habits. The spare tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as the stan-
dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was spe- cifically designed for your car, it should not be
used on any other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when
not in use. 8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be
used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire rim which was
originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare
tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a tem- porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem-
porary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle Own-
er’s Manual instructions.
