WHEELS

Your vehicle has unique wheels matched
to the tires. To avoid damage to your
wheels:
• Maintain proper tire pressure. See Tire
Care (page 30).
• Due to extreme tire and wheel width,
this vehicle cannot be taken through
an automatic car wash that uses
mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
• When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.
• Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If you have a damaged
wheel, replace it immediately.
• In the event that you encounter an
abnormally harsh impact, inspect the
outside tire wall of your wheels, both
inside and out, for damage.

TIRE CARE

WARNING: Always re-inflate tires
to recommended tire pressures before the
vehicle is operated on-road. The
recommended pressure is located on the
tire label or safety certification label,
located on the B-pillar, inside the driver's
door.
WARNING: After off-road use,
before returning to the road, check the
wheels and tires for damage. Off-road use
may cause damage to your wheels and
tires that can lead to tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.

Wheels and Tires

tires with the exact original brand, size and
construction that came originally on your
vehicle. Use of any other wheel or tire
combinations, even with identical size
ratings, may result in insufficient running
clearances, tire rubbing and eventual
puncture. Failure to follow tire replacement
recommendations can lead to tire failure,
loss of vehicle control, serious injury or
death.
Note: Only use tire sizes listed on the tire
label. Incorrect tire sizes may cause damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Your vehicle is equipped with high
performance, all-terrain tires designed to
optimize handling, steering and braking to
provide the performance you expect in a
Ford Performance vehicle. These tires are
optimized for both on and off-road
performance, and their ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different from other
tires. Also, because of their aggressive
tread profile, it is important that you
maintain your tires properly.
