Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) 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.

Your replacement tire might be incompatible with your TPMS system, or some component of the TPMS system may be damaged. Important: Ford recommends you replace your tires every 6 years regardless of the condition of the tire tread wear. As tires age, the rubber weakens, potentially increasing the risk of a tire failure during use, causing loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
