If your tires were produced in 2000 or later, the last four (4) digits of the serial code identify the week and year of production. For example, a tire with a serial code ending in “2406” was produced in the 24th week of 2006. If your tires were produced prior to 2000, the last three (3) digits of the serial code identify the week and year of production. For example, a tire with a code ending in “329” was produced in the 32nd week of a year ending with a nine (9). If in doubt, consult a qualified tire service professional.

For a qualified tire service professional, please contact your nearest authorized Firestone Retailer by visiting our store locator.

Check the air pressure in your tires (including spares) monthly and before long trips or carrying extra weight. Be sure to use an accurate pressure gauge. Check inflation pressure when the tires are “cold.” Tires are considered “cold” when the vehicle has been parked for three hours or more, or if the vehicle has been driven less than a mile (1.6 km) at moderate speed. If you have further questions concerning Tire Pressure please contact Technical Services at 1-800-847-3272.

Always keep the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure in your tires, including the spare. Check the pressure in your tires monthly and before long trips or carrying extra weight. If you have further questions concerning Tire Pressure please contact Technical Services at 1-800-847-3272.

A tire bearing a letter “speed rating” indicates the tire’s speed capability according to standardized lab tests. The speed rating system is intended to permit comparison of the speed capabilities of different tires. When replacing your tires, consult your vehicle owner’s manual and tire information placard for recommendations, if any, concerning the use of speed rated tires. If you have further questions concerning Speed Rating please contact Technical Services at 1-800-847-3272.

If you see damage or an unusual condition, 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. If you have further questions concerning Tire Conditions please contact Technical Services at 1-800-847-3272.

Firestone brand Run-Flat Tires are marked on the sidewalls, near the wheel, with the RFT logo.

Do not replace or mix RFT with conventional tires, unless on an emergency/temporary basis. Conventional tires do not have run-flat capability and the handling characteristics of the vehicle with these tires may be different. If a conventional tire is used on an emergency/temporary basis, verify that its size, load capacity, inflation pressure, and speed rating specifications meet the requirements of the vehicle. Replace any conventional tire with the proper RFT as soon as possible. If you have further questions concerning Tire Application please contact Technical Services at 1-800-847-3272.

A functioning Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) must be used with your RFT. Because these tires ride so well even without inflation pressure, the TPMS may be necessary to alert you of an inflation pressure loss condition. When alerted, follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual.

Your RFT will be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire pressure operating speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). If the sidewall indicates a distance limitation, do not exceed that number. If the sidewall does not specify a distance limitation, consult your vehicle owner’s manual as run-flat or low tire pressure operating limitations vary by tire design and vehicle applications. Note: Maximum distance values are determined under controlled conditions, which may vary in actual use. Your distance capability may be less, or more, depending on your specific operating conditions. If in doubt, do not exceed the 50-mile (80 km) limitation. Seek tire service as soon as possible to minimize tire damage.

No tire, regardless of its design or quality, is indestructible. RFT can be rendered unusable due to a puncture or other road hazard as well as from improper tire pressure maintenance. Some punctures may be repaired under certain restrictions and prescribed procedures. In addition to low pressure, the factors affecting ability to repair an RFT include: vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure loss; and ambient temperature. In any situation, the extent and location of a puncturing object or other road hazard are also critical factors. Run-Flat Certified Retailers will fully inspect your tire, inside and out, to determine if the tire can be repaired. Tire damage is not always visible from the outside and the tire must be removed from the wheel for a complete inspection. Note: Some vehicle manufacturers do not recommend using repaired tires. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer before operating a vehicle that has a repaired tire.
