snow chains FORD MUSTANG 2012 5.G Boss 302 Supplement Manual

•The Boss302 with Laguna Seca Package is equipped with ultra
high-performance, dry weather-only summer tires that provide
superior steering and handling.
WARNING:If equipped with the Laguna Seca Package, never
drive with these tires in any wet conditions (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
because they cannot channel water away and will slide risking serious
injury.
•Do not use tire chainson the original wheels and tires of your
vehicle. The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage
your vehicle.
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard on the driver’s door jamb, using an accurate gauge.
•Tire pressures are specified “cold” and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure
of warm tires.
•Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.
•Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
•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.

•When replacing tires, the only way to ensure 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 and be replaced as a set
of four. Never mix tire brands.
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.
Winter driving
The original equipment tires on your Boss302 are designed for high
performance steering and handling. 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.
Do not operate your vehicle above posted speed limits and never
perform high speed driving with winter tires, even in clear, dry driving
conditions.
Tire rotation
Because your vehicle is equipped with unique larger tires on the rear
wheels, you can only rotate the tires side to side. You must not rotate
tires in a crisscross pattern or front to rear. If you notice that the tires
wear unevenly, have them checked.
The tires on your Boss302 should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km). This will help your tires wear more evenly, providing better
tire performance and longer tire life.
