When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not

exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the

tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below. If the

beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and

try again.

When inflating the tire for mounting pressures up to 20 psi greater

than the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall, the following

precautions must be taken to protect the person mounting the tire:

1. Make sure that you have the correct tire and wheel size.

2. Lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area again.

3. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet away from the tire wheel assembly.

4. Use both eye and ear protection.

For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi greater than the maximum

pressure, a Ford Dealer or other tire service professional should do the

mounting.

Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person

inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft. away from the tire wheel

assembly.

Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road

tires are replaced on your vehicle.

It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be

replaced as a pair.

Safety practices

Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety.

• Observe posted speed limits

• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns

• Avoid potholes and objects on the road

• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking

If your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., do not rapidly

spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an

explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five seconds.

Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h). The tires may

fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
