In case you are not satisfied with your purchase, Falken provides this warranty for 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. The returned tires must not show damage due to road hazards, incorrect operation or maintenance, or damage caused by external conditions. This offer is for tires operated in normal highway conditions within the U.S. or Canada and it excludes tires used in commercial service or racing applications. The tires must be returned to the original place of purchase, with the sales invoice and the proper documentation.The tire offers excellent all weather traction and it firmly grips the road in dry, wet and winter weather. The tire was manufactured with a special all season tire compound and it, along with the five-rib symmetric tread pattern, improves the road gripping ability greatly. The wide circumferential and lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning situations by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. The combination of the water dispersing ability and the superb traction ensure a safe year round driving experience.The special five-rib symmetric tread pattern offers a long lasting tread life and tire usability. It prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area by evenly spreading the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking out along the tire surface. This equal distribution of the driving pressure extends the tire's tread life by guaranteeing even wear throughout the tire's life. The longer lasting tread life makes the tire more cost-efficient as it is usable for an extended period of time.The tire is effortlessly handled. The symmetric tread pattern's constant maintained road contact stabilizes the tire during the drive, while the solid center rib enhances the steering responsiveness and accuracy. The tire is quick and precise in its response to the driver's commands, allowing them to confidently control the tire in all weather conditions. The wide shoulder grooves and tread blocks enhance the cornering ability and power by promoting constant road contact in such situations. The shoulder tread design provides additional biting edges for a more secure drive.The Ziex S/TZ05 guarantees a quiet driving experience. The wide and narrow shoulder lug grooves create a variable pitch on the tire's tread design that cancels out the road noise generated. While the tire is in motion, these lugs create a sound frequency that negates the road noise by destroying the sound waves generated. The lower road noise levels ensure an enjoyable drive. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
