Make sure that all replacement tires are of the same size, type,
load-carrying capacity and tread design (e.g., “All Terrain”,

“Touring”, etc.), as originally offered by Ford.

Do not replace your tires with “high performance” tires or larger
size tires.

Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover and/or personal injury.

Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also
affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of
vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods

of time may result in damage to vehicle components.

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you
currently have on your vehicle.

The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to provide traction in
rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow
tires and chains. If you need to use chains, it is recommended that steel
wheels (of the same size and specifications) be used as chains may chip
aluminum wheels.
