To make sure the front and rear tires of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tires
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles
(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.
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. See
Technical Specifications (page 177).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-free
roads.
Only fit snow chains to specified
tires. See Technical Specifications
(page 177).
WARNINGS
If your vehicle has wheel trims,
remove them before fitting snow
chains.
If your vehicle has 235/50 R 18 tires, fit
185/75 R 16 C tires and 16 x 5.5J rims to the
front wheels. These are available from an
authorized dealer. Inflate the tires to the
maximum pressure permissible.
If your vehicle has 215/65 R 16 C tires, fit
215/65 R 15 C tires and 15 x 6.5J rims to all
wheels. These are available from an
authorized dealer. Inflate the tires to the
maximum pressure permissible.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeters or
smaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Note: Snow chains can be used with 215/65
R15 C tires.
Note: The anti-lock brake system will
continue to operate normally.
Note: 185/75 R 16 C tires are only covered
in your vehicle registration documents for
use on the front axle.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. To reduce this, switch
traction control off. See Using Traction
Control (page 105).
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNINGS
Do not use tire sealants as they may
damage the tire pressure monitoring
system. If you must use a sealant,
then you must also have the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel replaced by an authorized
Ford dealer.
