Wheels and Tires
• Do not use a winter tire with less than a "V" speed rating, and even
with clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle above
posted speed limits while using winter tires. Never perform high speed
driving with winter tires.
Please call the Ford Performance Info Center at 1-800-FORD-SVT
(367-3788) for specific winter tire recommendations.
Tire rotation
Because your vehicle is equipped with unique larger tires on the rear
wheels, you can only rotate the tires side to side. You must not rotate
tires in a crisscross pattern or front to rear. If you notice that the tires
wear unevenly, have them checked.
Note: The optional performance package tires (P265/40-19 front,
P285/35-20 rear) are directional. Tire rotation is not recommended for
directional tires.
The tires on your Shelby GT500 should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km). This will help your tires wear more evenly, providing better
tire performance and longer tire life.
• Tire rotation (front tires at the
top of the diagram)
Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear, ask an authorized dealer to check
for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical
problem involved before tire rotation.
Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked
and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
