• Five tire rotation
To make sure your tires wear
evenly, rotate them as indicated in
the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
If your tires wear unevenly, have
them checked.
Replacing tires
Replace the tires when the wear
band is visible.
Never mix radial bias-belted
tires, or bias-type tires. Use
only the tire sizes that are listed
on the Certification Label. Make
sure that all tires are the same
size, speed rating, and load
carrying capacity. Use only the tire
combinations recommended on
the label.
Make sure that all replacement tires are of the same size, type,
load-carrying capacity and tread design as originally offered by
Ford.
