Tire Pressure
• For tire pressures, see the placard
located on the B-pillar inside the
driver's door.
• Always maintain your tire pressures
according to the tire information
placard on the driver's door jamb, using
an accurate gauge.
• Tire pressures are specified cold. Check
them after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three 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.
Tire Pressure for High Speed Usage
If you are operating your ST vehicle in areas
that allow high-speed driving over 100 mph
(161 km/h), increase the tire pressure in all
four tires by 3 psi above the pressures
listed on the Tire Pressure placard located
on the driver's side b-pillar.

USING WINTER TIRES

The original equipment tires on your ST
vehicle are designed for maximum
performance in dry and wet summer
conditions. They are not designed for
winter use on ice or snow and cannot be
used with snow chains. Ford does not
recommend using the original equipment
tires when temperatures drop to
approximately 40°F (5°C) or below
(depending on tire wear and environmental
conditions) or in snow and ice conditions.
You must use winter or all-season tires if
you will be operating your vehicle in these
conditions.
• Even with clear, dry driving conditions
do not operate your vehicle above
posted speed limits or perform high
speed maneuvers with winter tires.
• Do not use tire chains on the original
wheels and tires of your vehicle. The
use of any type of tire chain on these
tires may damage your vehicle.
