Tires - Ford FOCUS RS 2017 Owner's Manual Supplement

TIRES

The tires on your vehicle are designed to
optimize its performance. They are not
optimized for off-road or winter
performance. The ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different to
non-performance tires. Your vehicle has
low profile tires. They can be more
susceptible to damage from poor road
conditions due to their diameter and width.
To make sure the tires perform as
intended, it is important to correctly
maintain them.
To correctly maintain the tires, do the
following:
Maintain correct tire pressures. See
Tire Pressures (page 35).
Do not overload your vehicle.
Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information label.
Take extra caution when operating
your vehicle near its maximum load,
including using the correct tire
pressures and reducing speeds.

Take extra caution when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause tire damage.
Inspect the tires for damage on a
regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it as soon as possible.
Correct suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, have the suspension
alignment checked as soon as possible.
When replacing tires they must be of
the same size, speed and load rating
as the original tires. We recommend
that you replace tires as a set of four
and do not mix tire brands or models.
