tire size FORD MUSTANG 2004 4.G SVT Supplement Manual

•In the event that you encounter an abnormally
harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage.
•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis.
If a tire is damaged, replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for
maximum performance and optimal tire wear. If
you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•Rotate tires as recommended in your Owner’s
Guide or SVT Owner’s Guide Supplement.
•When replacing tires, the only way to assure
original performance is to use the original
equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should
be the same size, speed rating and load rating.
WHEELS
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels
matched to the tires. These wheels are more
susceptible to damage due to their diameter, width
and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your
wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure (see“Tires”
previously listed).
•Extra caution should be taken when using
automatic car washes. Although your vehicle is
capable of being washed in an automatic car
wash, equipment may vary and wheel damage is
possible.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to
specification with a torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular
basis. If a wheel is damaged, replace it
immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally
harsh impact, inspect the outer diameter of your
wheels, both inside and out, for damage.

OPERATING AT HIGH SPEEDS
Your SVT vehicle is capable of high speeds and is
equipped with tires rated for the vehicle’s maximum
speed. Remember to drive safely, obey all traffic
laws and only operate your SVT vehicle at high
speeds at locations equipped and designed to do so
safely. Before operating your vehicle at high speeds:
•Assure correct tire pressures (see“Tires”
previously listed).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage.
Replace any damaged wheels or tires.
•Do not operate your vehicle at high speeds with
more than two passengers or while carrying cargo.
WINTER DRIVING
The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are
designed for maximum performance in dry and wet
conditions. They are not designed for winter use on
ice or snow and cannot be used with snow chains. If
you will be operating your vehicle in these
conditions, winter or all-season tires must be used.
Contact the Ford SVT Hotline at 1–800–FORD-SVT
for information on SVT recommended winter tires
for your vehicle. When using winter or all-season
tires:
•Always use winter tires on all 4 wheels and use 4
of the same size, brand and model.
•Be aware that winter or all-season tires will not
perform as well as the original equipment tire in
dry and wet conditions. Expect handling, steering
and braking to be degraded.
•Do not use a winter tire with less than a“T”
rating, and even with clear, dry driving conditions
do not operate your vehicle above posted speed
limits while using winter tires. Never perform
high-speed driving with winter tires.
