WheelsSVT-Signature style, 17 in x 8.5 in
aluminum 6-spoke wheels
TIRE ROTATION
Because your vehicle’s tires perform
different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires
wear evenly and last longer, have
them rotated.Note:The F-150
Raptor requires tire rotations every
5,000 miles (8,000 km). If you
notice that the tires wear unevenly,
have them checked.
SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL
Your vehicle is equipped with an LT315/70R17 spare tire. The spare
tire/wheel assembly has the same capability as the road tire/wheel
assembly, but is not equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sensor. If
TPMS functionality is desired, a TPMS sensor must be installed in the
spare tire/wheel assembly. Note that the spare wheel is painted black to
differentiate it from the road wheels.

If your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership sells the name-brand tire,
they can also honor the tire manufacturer’s warranty.
Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather,
storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation, etc.) the
tires experience throughout their lives. In general, tires should be
replaced after 6 years, regardless of tread wear. However, heat caused by
hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging
process and may require the tires to be replaced more frequently. You
should replace your spare tire when you replace your road tires or after
6 years due to aging even if the tire has not been used.
BATTERIES
The technicians at your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealership can
determine the health of your
vehicle’s battery during any service
visit. The Motorcraft Tested Tough
Max Series with its “long-life” design
outlasted other long-life batteries by
up to 200%. That’s one reason why
we stand behind this battery with a
national, 3-year, free replacement
warranty and prorated-cost replacement thereafter for up to 100 months
and unlimited mileage. Should your battery need to be replaced, please
consider a Motorcraft brand battery that meets your vehicle’s Ford Motor
Company specifications.
