FALKEN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Effective November 1, 2013
I. Tires Covered by this Warranty:
This limited warranty applies to FALKEN brand steel belted radial passenger car and selected light truck tires bearing the complete description and serial
number as required by the DOT. This warranty applies only to tires purchased after November 1, 2013. Tires purchased before that date are subject to
previous published warranties. This warranty is effective only to tires for which claims are made within five years of date of production, based on the tire DOT
serial number.
II. What is Warranted and for How Long:
A. Material and Workmanship Warranty:
1. Every Falken brand radial tire is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for the usable life of the original tread, ending at the appearance of
the tread wear out indicators at 2/32” remaining tread depth.
2. If a tire becomes unserviceable due to such defect within the first 2/32” of wear; it will be replaced free of charge with a comparable FALKEN tire.
3. After the first 2/32” wear, a prorated adjustment credit to the customer will be given based on the percentage of remaining usable tread depth, down to the
remaining 2/32” wear bars, at which point no credit is due.
4. OUT-OF-ROUND or OUT-OF-BALANCE claims will be accepted for adjustment only during the first 1/32” of the original tread depth, and tires will be
replaced free of charge with comparable FALKEN tires. A set of four (4) tires from the same vehicle will not be accepted for out-of-round or
out-of-balance claims.
B. Limited Mileage Warranty:
FALKEN brand radial tires listed below are warranted to achieve the following mileages before becoming worn out at 2/32” remaining tread depth. Prorated
adjustment credit will be given based on percentage of mileage not achieved. This mileage warranty is applicable only for normal highway use when all of the
owners obligations listed below in Section IV are met. Warranty does not apply to any FALKEN designs not listed.
