•Rotate tires as recommended in your Owner’s Guide or SVT Owner’s
Guide Supplement.
• 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.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
• Maintain proper tire pressure (see “Tires” previously listed).
• Extra caution should be taken when using automatic car washes.
Although your vehicle is capable of being washed in an automatic car
wash, equipment may vary and wheel damage is possible.
• 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
OPERATING A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE AT HIGHER THAN
NORMAL SPEEDS
Your SVT vehicle is capable of operating at higher than normal speeds
and is equipped with tires rated for the vehicles’ maximum speed.
However, it is important to remember to always drive safely, obey all
traffic laws and only operate your SVT vehicle at higher than normal
speeds at locations and under conditions where such can be done safely.
Also, before operating your vehicle at higher than normal speeds:
• Assure correct tire pressures (see “Tires” previously listed).
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.
• Never operate the vehicle at higher than normal speeds when loaded
with passengers/cargo.
