Tires, Replacement Requirements

Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel other than that

originally provided by Ford Motor Company because it can affect

the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an

increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, and/or serious

personal injury or death.

Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel other than that originally

provided by Ford Motor Company because it can affect the safety and

performance of your vehicle, which could lead to loss of vehicle control

or rollover and serious injury. Make sure all tires and wheels on the

vehicle are of the same size, type, tread design, brand and load-carrying

capacity. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an

authorized Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer.

If you nevertheless decide to equip your 4x4 for off-road use with tires

larger than what Ford Motor Company recommends, you should not use

these tires for highway driving.

If you use any tire/wheel combination not recommended by Ford Motor

Company, it may adversely affect vehicle handling and could cause

steering, suspension, axle or transfer case failure as well as the increased

risk of loss of vehicle control.

Do not use “aftermarket lift kits” or other suspension modifications,

whether or not they are used with larger tires and wheels.

These “aftermarket lift kits” could adversely affect the vehicle’s handling

characteristics, which could lead to loss of vehicle control or rollover and

serious injury.

Tires can be damaged during off-road use. For your safety, tires that are

damaged should not be used for highway driving because they are more

likely to blow out or fail.

You should carefully observe the recommended tire inflation pressure

found on the safety compliance certification label attached to the left
