Tires
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with low profile, high performance tires
that are designed to optimize the driving dynamics you expect in a SVT
vehicle. These tires are not optimized for off-road or winter (snow or
cold weather) performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics
are different than non-performance tires. Also, because of their lower
profile, the tires are more susceptible to damage due to potholes and
rough roads. To make sure that your tires perform as intended, it is
important that you maintain your tires properly:
•The Shelby GT500 original equipment tires are optimized for
performance in both wet and dry conditions. Ford does not
recommend using the original equipment tires when temperatures
drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below (depending on tire wear
and environmental conditions) or in snow/ice conditions.
•The Shelby GT500 P265/40-19 front, P285/35-20 rear directional tires
were designed for track use and may exhibit significantly reduced
tread life and increased tire noise compared to the standard
equipment tires under normal driving conditions. Increasing the front
camber settings beyond the factory settings may further accelerate
tread wear and induce tire noise.
•Note:Do not use tire chains on the original wheels and tires of your
vehicle. The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage
your vehicle.
•For tire pressures, see the placard located on the B-pillar inside the
driver’s door.
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard on the driver’s door jamb, using an accurate gauge.
