Wheels And Tires; General Information; Tire Care; Using Winter Tires - Ford RANGER 2016 Owner's Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver's door opening or on the B
pillar.
Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive your vehicle and when
the tires are cold.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
Note: Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage your
vehicle and will make the National Type
Approval invalid.
Note: If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct
speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.

Wheels and Tires

Directional tires
E70415
To make sure the front and rear tires of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tires
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals between 5,000 km (3,000 mi)
and 10,000 km (6,000 mi).
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TIRES

If winter tires are used you must inflate
them to the same tire pressures as those
listed in the tire pressure table. See
Technical Specifications (page 286).

WARNING

tires when you are parking.
