The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a
standard tire so it’s easier to handle. It also helps reduce
the total car weight which contributes to fuel economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of tire/
rim assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Fol-
low tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diam-
eter to rim diameter. Mount light truck radials on rims
approved for radial service. Do not apply bead sealer. This
can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and tire rim
(including tube or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly
on mounting machine or place in safety cage. STAND
BACK and never exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use
a volatile substance or a rubber “donut” (also known as a
bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only
specially-trained persons should mount tires.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT
SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME
AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear and Dun-
lop recommend fitment of four (4) tires of the same type
and size unless otherwise specified by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires, always con-
sult the vehicle Owner’s Manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-
hicle handling may be significantly affected by a changein tire size or type. When selecting tires that are different
than the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure is selected.
Never exceed the maximum load capacity and inflation
pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes. Failure to follow this warning may
result in loss of control of the vehicle, leading to an
accident and serious injury or death.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT
HAVE LESS LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY THAN AS REQUIRED BY
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range E tires as designated by the
vehicle manufacturer. Fitment of a tire, such as a Load
Range D, with less carrying capacity is not allowed.
In other cases, tires of the same size may carry different
load indexes in the service description. You must make
certain the replacement tires fitted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifies.
NOTE:
Goodyear manufactured and/or marketed
European-Metric passenger tires and P-Metric
passenger tires are interchangeable as long as
they have the same section width, same aspect
ratio, same rim diameter. Caution: Never substi-
tute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load
(XL) tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped
with “Extra Load” (XL) tires, replace those tires
with similar sized XL tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth on the rear axle. If radials and
non-radials must be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials
on rear axle. Never mix radials and non-radials on the
same axle. When fitting snow tires or all-season tires to
performance vehicles, always fit in sets of four. It is not
recommended to fit tires with different speed ratings. If
tires with different speed ratings are installed on a
vehicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will
become limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
At least monthly, the vehicle owner(s) should check the
tires’ air pressure with a gauge and inflate to the recom-
mended 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 own-
er(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 mer-
chantability 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 limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or con-
sequential damages, so the above limitations or exclu-sions 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 super-
sedes the terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither
assumes nor authorizes anyone to make or assume for it
any other warranty.
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 recom-
mended 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 pres-
sure for longer periods of time and reduces the amount
of moisture inside of the tire and wheel assembly.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need to be properly inflated to effectively operate
and perform as intended. Tires carry 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
under inflated tire will generate excessive 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) for your vehicle’s origi-
nal equipment tires, including the spare. The placard
can be found on the driver’s side door or door jamb area.
If you have questions about understanding your vehi-
cle’s tire placard, please refer to your owner’s manual or
ask a qualified tire service professional.

CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital
to help your tires perform properly 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 (16°F) drop in tempera-
ture. Here are some simple steps on how to check the
air pressures in your tires: 1. Remove the valve stem cap.

* Some plus size applications may require different air pressure(s) than what is listed on your vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual. In this case, please consult your tire dealer or Falken Tire for proper inflation pressure(s) .
