Use snow chains that fit against the
sidewall of the tire to prevent the chains
from touching the wheel rims or
suspension. Refer to the previous
illustration.
If you have any questions regarding snow
chains, contact your authorized dealer.
USING BEAD-LOCK WHEELS -
RAPTOR
Your vehicle comes with unique wheels
matched to the tires. To avoid damage to
your wheels:
•
Maintain proper tire pressure.
•
Due to extreme tire and wheel width,
do not take your vehicle 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.
•
If you encounter an abnormally harsh
impact, inspect the outside tire wall of
your wheels, both inside and out, for
damage.
Note: Ford Performance only recommends
using bead-lock rings from Ford
Performance Parts, in conjunction with the
original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
tire. Any other combination using this wheel
could result in air loss or tire failure.
Note: Converting the bead-lock compatible
wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use
only. We do not approve of the use of true
bead-locks for on-road driving.

Wheel and Tire Information
If your vehicle has the optional bead lock
compatible wheel, you can convert this
wheel to use a true bead-lock ring, which
allows operation at low tire pressures
when off-road to minimize the risk of
de-beading the tire. See your local Ford
Performance Parts Dealer for more
information.
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.
WARNING: Replace the wheels
and 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: If you have reduced your tire pressure
for off-road use, the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) warning light then activates
in the instrument panel as a reminder to
re-inflate the tires before returning to the
road.
