Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
vehicles (front tires on the left side of
the diagram)
All vehicles with directional tires (front
tires on the left side of the diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be
corrected by rotating the tires.
Summer Tires
Your Ford vehicle may be equipped with
summer tires to provide superior
performance on wet and dry roads.
Summer tires do not have the Mud and
Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on
the tire side wall. Since summer tires do
not have the same traction performance
as All-season or Snow tires, Ford does
not recommend using summer tires
when temperatures drop to
approximately 40°F (5°C) or below
(depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions) or in snow
and ice conditions. Like any tire, summer
tire performance is affected by tire wear
and environmental conditions. If you
must drive in those conditions, Ford
recommends using Mud and Snow (M+S,
M/S), All-season or Snow tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS WARNINGS
If you choose to install snow tires on
your vehicle, they must be the same
size, construction, and load range as the
original tires listed on the tire placard, and
they must be installed on all four wheels.
Mixing tires of different size or construction
on your vehicle can adversely affect your
vehicle's handling and braking, and may lead
to loss of vehicle control. Do not use snow chains or cables on
this vehicle as they may cause damage
to your vehicle which may lead to loss of
vehicle control. Snow chains have not been approved for
use on your vehicle.
The original equipment tires on your vehicle
may have an all-weather tread design to
provide traction, handling, and braking
performance in year-round driving. You may
install snow tires for improved traction when
driving in areas with sustained periods of
snow or icy driving conditions.
