Tire Information

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.
