Replacing the tires

Replace the tires when the wear

band is visible through the tire

treads. Due to exposure to the

elements and exhaust you should

replace the spare tire when you

replace the other tires.

When replacing full size tires, never mix radial bias-belted, or

bias-type tires. Use only the tire sizes that are listed on the

Certification Label. Make sure that all tires are the same size, speed

rating, and load-carrying capacity. Use only the tire combinations

recommended on the label. If you do not follow these precautions,

your vehicle handling may be affected which can lead to loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury.

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

speed rating, 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 increase the risk of loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury.

Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also

affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

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, you may need to use snow

tires and chains. If you need to use chains, it is recommended that steel

wheels (of the same size and specifications) be used, as chains may chip

aluminum wheels.
