Wheels and Tires
Dual rear wheel drive vehicles
If your vehicle is equipped with dual rear wheels it is
recommended that the front and rear tires (in pairs)
be rotated only side to side. We do not recommend
splitting up the dual rear wheels. Rotate them side
to side as a set. After tire rotation, inflation pressures
must be adjusted for the tires new positions in
accordance with vehicle requirements.
Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by
rotating the tires.
Using Snow Chains
WARNING
Snow tires must be the same size,
load index, speed rating as those
originally provided by Ford. Use of
any tire or wheel not recommended by
Grech Motors can affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle, which could result in
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels could
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or
power transfer unit failure.
Note:
Do not use snow chains on vehicles with 20
inch wheels and tires.
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 cables.
If you need to use cables, it is recommended that
steel wheels (of the same size and specifications) be
used, as cables may chip aluminum wheels.
Note:
The suspension insulation and bumpers will
help prevent vehicle damage. Do not remove these
components from your vehicle when using snow tires
and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and
chains:
•
If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle
•
Use only SAE Class S chains.
•
Install chains securely, verifying that the chains
do not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
