You should visually inspect your tires on a regular basis throughout
their life, and you should have your tires periodically evaluated by a
qualified tire service professional when your vehicle is serviced such
as routine maintenance intervals, oil changes, and tire rotations. In
particular, note the following tips for spotting tire damage:•
After striking anything unusual in the roadway, have a qualified tire
service professional demount the tire and inspect it for damage. A
tire may not have visible signs of damage on the tire surface. Yet,
the tire may suddenly fail without warning, a day, a week, or even
months later.
•
Inspect your tires for cuts, cracks, splits or bruises in the tread and \
sidewall areas. Bumps or bulges may indicate a separation within
the tire body. Have your tire inspected by a qualified tire service
professional. It may be necessary to have it removed from the
wheel for a complete inspection.
•
Inspect your tires for adequate tread depth. When the tire is worn
to the built-in indicators at 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less tread groove
depth, or the tire cord or fabric is exposed, the tire is dangerously
worn and must be replaced immediately.
•
Inspect your tires for uneven wear. Wear on one side of the tread
or flat spots in the tread may indicate a problem with the tire or
vehicle. Consult a qualified tire service professional.
•
Inspect your wheels also. If you have a bent or cracked wheel,
it must be replaced.
•
Don’t forget to check the spare tire.
Make sure your tires, including the spare tire, continue to be regularly\

inspected after 5 years of service to determine if they can continue in \
service. Even when your tires appear to be usable from their external
appearance or the tread depth may have not reached the minimum
wear out depth, it is recommended that all tires (including spare tires
and “temporary use” spares) more than 10 years old be replaced wi\
th
new tires.
The 10 year period after the date of production is not an indicator of
actual service life for any individual tire. Some tires will need to be \
replaced before 10 years due to conditions such as punctures, impact
damage, improper inflation, overloading, tread wear or other conditions

Tire Repairs
SAFETY WARNING
Driving on an improperly repaired tire is dangerous. An improper repair
can be unreliable or permit further damage to the tire. The tire may
suddenly fail, causing serious personal injury or death. A complete
inspection and repair of
your tire in accordance with U.S. Tire
Manufactur
ers Association procedures should be conducted by a
qualified tire service professional.
While the comprehensive procedures and recommendations for
tire repair are beyond the scope of this manual, a proper tire repair
includes the following:
•
The tire is demounted from the wheel for a complete
inspection, inside and out. Some damage to the tire may only be
evident on the interior of the tire.
•
The puncture injury is 1/4 inch (6 mm)
or less and must be within the tread
area as shown in the graphic. This helps
ensure long-term tire and repair durability.
•
A patch is applied to the interior of the
tire and the puncture hole is filled with
a suitable plug/stem filler. This helps
ensure that the interior of the tire is
adequately sealed to prevent inflation pressure loss and prevents
contamination of the steel belts and other plies from the elements
(such as water) in the outside world.
PATCH + PLUG/STEM PATCH ONLY PLUG/STEM ONLY
Additional notes about tire repairs :
•
Not all punctured or damaged tires can be properly repaired;
consequently, they must be replaced. NEVER repair a tire with any
of the following conditions:
- Wear to the tire’s built-in treadwear indicators or to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) remaining tread depth in any area of the tread.

Eligibility

This Limited Warranty covers BRIDGESTONE and FIRESTONE brand
passenger and light truck tires, including RFT and temporary spare
tires, originally installed by the vehicle manufacturer on a new vehicle\
.
You are covered under the terms of this Limited Warranty if the tire was

depth (i.e. worn down to the top of the built-in indicators in the tread
grooves) and within 6 years from the date of purchase (proof of
purchase date required; without proof of purchase date, then within
6 years from the date of tire manufacture), for any reason other than
those excluded in the section entitled “What This Limited Warranty
Does Not Cover,” any eligible tire that becomes unusable for any
reason within the manufacturer’s control will be replaced with an
equivalent new tire on the basis set forth in this Limited Warranty.
What This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover
This Limited Warranty does not cover the following: 1.
Tire damage or irregular wear due to:a.
Road hazards, including, without limitation: Puncture, cut,
impact break, stone drill, bruise, bulge, snag, etc.

**comparable new Continental brand tire FREE OF CHARGE,
including mounting and balancing (excluding on line orders). Owner
pays all applicable taxes.
Temporary Spare
If a TS Tire becomes unserviceable from a condition other than those
listed in Section 3, during the first 1/32nd (0.8 mm) of treadwear, then it
will be replaced with a **comparable new Continental brand TS tire
FREE OF CHARGE, including mounting and balancing.The owner
pays all applicable taxes. After this “Free Replacement Period” for your
TS tire expires, no warranty claim will be accepted.
After the Free Replacement Period
The tire (except TS tire) may still be eligible for a pro rata replacement
up to 72 months from date of original purchase until the tread is worn
down to the tread wear indicators (2/32nd of an inch or 1.6 mm of
tread remaining). If an eligible tire becomes unserviceable under the
stipulations of this Limited Warranty and Adjustment policy it will be
replaced with a **comparable new Continental brand tire, charging the
owner a pro-rated amount. Owner pays all applicable taxes (including
F.E.T.), mounting and balancing charges.
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying the
percentage of the useable tread worn by the Dealers Selling Price
(excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of the adjustment. The
useable tread is the original tread down to the tread wear indicators
(2/32nd of an inch or 1.6 mm of tread remaining.)
**A “comparable” new Continental brand tire may be of either the same
tire line or the same basic construction but with a different sidewall or
tread configuration. If a higher priced tire is selected, the consumer will
pay the difference in price.
What Is Not Covered by This Warranty the Following

Speed Limits
SAFETY WARNING
Operating your vehicle in excess of the posted speed limit or the
maximum speed allotted by driving conditions has the potential to be
dangerous. Higher driving speeds create excessive heat buildup in a
tire, leading to a possible tire failure.
Tire Spinning
SAFETY WARNING
Spinning a tire to get a stuck vehicle out of mud, ice, snow, sand,
or wet grass can be potentially dangerous. A spinning tire at a
speedometer reading above 55 km/h (35 mph) can be capable of
disintegrating a tire with explosive force. In some circumstances, a tir\
e
may be spinning at twice the speed displayed on the speedometer.
This can cause serious injury or death to you, a passenger, or
bystander. Never spin a tire above 55 km/h (35 mph).

What Is Covered and for How Long
Falken tires that are originally equipped on this vehicle are warranted \
against any defects in the materials and workmanship for the usable

evenly across the face of the tread to the level of the treadwear
indicators, which is 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining.
Uneven wear is defined as a tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the face of the tread on the same tire.
