IMPORTANT TIRE INFORMATION
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels and tires designed to
enhance performance and appearance. To continue providing this
performance, extra care must be taken when operating and maintaining
your vehicle.
TIRES
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with low profile, high performance tires
that are designed to optimize handling, steering and braking to provide
the performance you expect in a SVT vehicle. These tires are not
optimized for off-road or winter performance, and their ride, noise and
wear characteristics are different than other tires. Also, because of their
lower profile, the tires are more susceptible to damage due to potholes
and rough or unpaved roads. To ensure that your tires perform as
designed, it is important that you maintain your tires properly:
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard in the doorjamb or inside the fuel filler door, 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
you 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 you alignment
checked.
•Rotate tires as recommended in your Owner’s Guide or SVT Owner’s
Guide Supplement.
