•
Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•
Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•
In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
•
Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•
Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•
Your SVT vehicle follows a more stringent tire rotation schedule as
compared to the base F-150. Refer to
Tire rotation
in the
Maintenance
chapter for more information.
•
When replacing tires, the only way to assure original performance is to
use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be
the same size, speed rating and load rating.
WHEELS
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•
Maintain proper tire pressure (see “Tires” previously listed).
•
Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this vehicle cannot be taken through
an automatic car wash that uses mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
•
When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•
Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•
In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
