SNOW TIRES AND CABLES/CHAINS

WARNING: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed

rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or

wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and

performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of

loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

Additionally, the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could

cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit

failure.

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 cables . If you need to use cables, it is recommended that steel

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

aluminum wheels.

Note: The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle

damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when using

snow tires and chains.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

• Use only SAE Class S cables or equivalent on the front axle for

P235/60R17, P235/60R18, and P235/55R19 equipped vehicles. SAE

Class S chains or other conventional link chains may cause damage to

the vehicles wheel house and/or body. Use of optional spike type

traction devices or equivalent is also acceptable.

• Do not install tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices on the

rear tires. This could cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house or

body.

• Do not use tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices with

255/45R20 tires.

• Install cable chains securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
