OPERATING A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE AT HIGHER THAN
NORMAL SPEEDS
Your SVT vehicle is capable of operating at higher than normal off-road
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.
WINTER DRIVING
The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in all driving conditions. However, they are not
designed to be used with snow chains. If you will be operating your
vehicle with snow chains, use a smaller tire and wheel combination as
recommended in theOwner’s Guide.
