5. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare.
Note:
Some spare tires operate at a higher inflation pressure than the
other tires. For T-type/mini-spare tires (see
T-Type/Mini-Spare Tire
Information
section for description): Store and maintain at 60psi (4.15
bars). For Full Size and Dissimilar spare tires (see
Dissimilar Spare
Tire/Wheel Information
section for description): Store and maintain at
the higher of the front and rear inflation pressure as shown on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
TIRE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and
handling capability.
Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size
and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus
all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or
wheel not recommended by Ford 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 or transfer case/power transfer unit failure. If
you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an authorized Ford
or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Note:
The use of a different tire can effect the fuel economy of your
vehicle.
Make sure all tires and wheels on the vehicle are of the same size, type,
tread design, brand, load-carrying capacity and speed rating because it
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.
Important:
Remember to replace the spare tire when you replace the
road tires on your vehicle. Even if it has never been used, the spare tire
should be replaced because tires degrade over time.
Important:
Remember to replace the wheel air valves when the road
tires are replaced on your vehicle.
