Make sure that all replacement tires are of the same size, type,

load-carrying capacity and tread design (e.g., “All Terrain”,

“Touring”, etc.), as originally offered by Ford.

Do not replace your tires with “high performance” tires or larger

size tires.

Failure to follow these precautions may adversely affect the

handling of the vehicle and make it easier for the driver 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.

USING SNOW TIRES AND TRACTION DEVICES

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you

currently have on your vehicle.

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads to provide traction in

rain and snow. However, in some climates, using snow tires or traction

devices may be necessary.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:

• SAE class “S” cable should be used only on front axle for P235/70R16

tires. With P225/70R15 and P215/70R16 tires, SAE class “S” cables can

be used on both the front and rear wheels.

• Install cables or chains securely, verifying that the cables or chains do

not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables or chains rub or bang against

the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the

cables or chains to prevent vehicle damage.

• Avoid overloading your vehicle.

• Remove the cables or chains when they are no longer needed.

• Do not use cables or chains on dry roads.

• Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) with tire cables or chains on your

vehicle.
