Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as
indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter) will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.
Front-wheel drive vehicles (front
tires on the left side of the
diagram)
Sometimes irregular tire wear can
be corrected by rotating the tires.
USING WINTER TIRES
WARNING
When you use winter tires on
your vehicle, you must make
sure that you use the correct lug
nuts. If winter tires are used, you must
make sure that you use the correct
tire pressures. USING SNOW 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, transfer
case or 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 or snow chains.
If you choose to install snow tires on your
vehicle, they must be the same size,
construction, and load range as the original
tires listed on the tire inflation pressure
label (located on the edge of driver door
or the B-Pillar) and they must be installed
on all four wheels. Mixing tires of different
size or construction on your vehicle can
adversely affect your vehicle
’s handling
and braking, and may lead to loss of
vehicle control.
If you use snow chains, we recommend
that steel wheels of the same size and
specifications are used, snow chains may
damage aluminum wheels.
Follow these guidelines when using snow
chains:
• Only certain snow chains or cables
have been approved by Ford as safe
for use on your vehicle with the
following tires; 215/55R16.
• You should only install snow chains or
cables that have been rated as 10mm
or less in dimension as measured on
the sidewall of your tire.
