WARNING
When replacing full size tires, never mix
radial, bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use
only the tire sizes that are listed on the
tire pressure decal. Make sure that all tires
are the same size, speed rating, and
load-carrying capacity. Use only the tire
combinations recommended on the decal.
If you do not follow these precautions,
your vehicle may not drive properly and
safely.
R
WARNING
Make sure that all replacement tires are of
the same size, type, load-carrying capacity,
and tread design (e.g. “All Terrain”, etc.),
as originally offered by Ford.
R
WARNING
Do not replace your tires with “high
performance” tires or larger size tires.
R
WARNING
Failure to follow these precautions may
adversely affect the handling of the
vehicle and make it easier to lose control
and roll over.
Tires that are larger or smaller than your
vehicle’s original tires may also affect the
accuracy of your speedometer.

Use of aftermarket wheel assemblies may
damage your vehicle or cause accidents
resulting in serious injuries.

Wheel and Tire Matching
See an authorized tire dealer for proper
servicing procedures. Wheels and tires must be
properly removed, matched and remounted to
maintain the best possible ride.
Snow Tires and Chains
The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads
that provide traction in rain or snow. However,
during the winter months in some climates, you
may need to use snow tires and occasionally
chains for your tires.
R
WARNING
Snow tires must be the same size and
grade as the tires you currently have on
your vehicle.
Do not use chains when using a temporary
spare. For full size tires, use chains on the tires
only in an emergency or if the law requires
them where you live. When you use the tire
chains:
❑
Make sure the chains are the right size for
your tires. Use only SAE Class “S” chains.
Other types may damage your vehicle.
❑
Tire chains may scratch or chip aluminum
wheels. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TIRE
CHAINS ARE INSTALLED ON STEEL
WHEELS ONLY. Be sure to remove wheel
covers (if equipped) from steel rims before
using tire chains to avoid scratches or
damage.
❑
Local regulations may prohibit or restrict the
use of tire chains. Investigate the laws and
regulations in your area before installing
chains.

❑
Put the chains on tightly with the ends held
down securely. Verify that no chain touches
any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
Retighten the chains after driving 1/2 mile
(0.8 km). Follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions.
❑
Do not drive faster than 30 mph (48 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer’s recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower. Avoid
bumps, holes and sharp turns. If you can
hear the chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, remove the chains to prevent damage
to your vehicle.
❑
Tire chains may affect vehicle handling. Drive
carefully and avoid hard braking.
❑
Avoid fully loading your vehicle if possible.
❑
Remove tire chains at the first opportunity
after using them on snow and ice. Do not use
the chains on dry roads.
❑
Make sure your suspension insulation and
bumpers are not missing or worn to avoid
damage to your vehicle.
