Traction AA A B C
WARNING: The tractiongrade assigned to this tire isbased on straight-ahead brakingtraction tests, and does notinclude acceleration, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
The traction grades, from highestto lowest are AA, A, B, and C. Thegrades represent the tire’s abilityto stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlledconditions on specifiedgovernment test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor tractionperformance.
Temperature A B C
WARNING: Thetemperature grade for this tire isestablished for a tire that isproperly inflated and notoverloaded. Excessive speed,underinflation, or excessiveloading, either separately or incombination, can cause heatbuildup and possible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A(the highest), B and C,representing the tire’s resistanceto the generation of heat and itsability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditionson a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerateand reduce tire life, and excessivetemperature can lead to suddentire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level ofperformance which all passengercar tires must meet under theFederal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard No. 139. Grades B and Arepresent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratorytest wheel than the minimumrequired by law.

TIRE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
AGE
WARNING: Tires degradeover time depending on manyfactors such as weather, storageconditions, and conditions of use(load, speed, inflation pressure)the tires experience throughouttheir lives.In general, tires should bereplaced after six yearsregardless of tread wear.However, heat caused by hotclimates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate theaging process and may requiretires to be replaced morefrequently.You should replace your sparetire when you replace the roadtires or after six years due toaging even if it has not beenused.
U.S. DOT Tire IdentificationNumber
Both United States and CanadaFederal regulations require tiremanufacturers to placestandardized information on thesidewall of all tires. Thisinformation identifies anddescribes the fundamentalcharacteristics of the tire and alsoprovides a U.S. DOT TireIdentification Number for safetystandard certification and in caseof a recall.

•When installing wheels, always torquelug nuts to specification with a torquewrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on aregular basis. If you have a damagedwheel, replace it immediately.
•If you encounter an abnormally harshimpact, inspect the outside tire wall ofyour wheels, both inside and out, fordamage.
Note:Ford Performance only recommendsusing bead-lock rings from FordPerformance Parts, in conjunction with theoriginal equipment manufacturer (OEM)tire. Any other combination using this wheelcould result in air loss or tire failure.
Note:Converting the bead-lock compatiblewheel to true bead-locks is for off-road useonly. We do not approve of the use of truebead-locks for on-road driving.
If your vehicles equipped with the optionalbead lock compatible wheel, you canconvert this wheel to use a true bead-lockring, which allows operation at low tirepressures when off-road to minimize therisk of de-beading the tire. See your localFord Performance Parts Dealer for moreinformation.
Tire Care
WARNING: Always re-inflate tiresto recommended tire pressures beforethe vehicle is operated on-road. Therecommended pressure is located on thetire label or safety certification label,located on the B-pillar, inside the driver'sdoor.
WARNING: After off-road use,before returning to the road, check thewheels and tires for damage. Off-roaduse may cause damage to your wheelsand tires that can lead to tire failure, lossof vehicle control, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Replace the wheelsand tires with the exact original brand,size and construction that cameoriginally on your vehicle. Use of anyother wheel or tire combinations, evenwith identical size ratings, may result ininsufficient running clearances, tirerubbing and eventual puncture. Failureto follow tire replacementrecommendations can lead to tire failure,loss of vehicle control, serious injury ordeath.
Note:If you have reduced your tire pressurefor off-road use, the tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) warning light then activatesin the instrument panel as a reminder tore-inflate the tires before returning to theroad.

CHECKING THE TIRE
PRESSURES
Safe operation of your vehiclerequires that your tires areproperly inflated. Every day beforeyou drive, check your tires.
At least once a month and beforelong trips, inspect each tire andcheck the tire pressure with a tiregauge. Inflate all tires to therecommended inflation pressure.See Inflating the Tires (page550).
INFLATING THE TIRES
WARNING: Under-inflationis the most common cause oftire failures and may result insevere tire cracking, treadseparation or blowout, withunexpected loss of vehiclecontrol and increased risk ofinjury. Under-inflation increasessidewall flexing and rollingresistance, resulting in heatbuildup and internal damage tothe tire. It also may result inunnecessary tire stress, irregularwear, loss of vehicle control andaccidents. A tire can lose up tohalf of its air pressure and notappear to be flat!
WARNING: Do not use thetire pressure displayed in theinformation display as a tirepressure gauge. Failure to followthis instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
Use the recommended coldinflation pressure for optimum tireperformance and wear.Under-inflation or over-inflationmay cause uneven treadwearpatterns.
Inflate your tires to therecommended inflation pressureeven if it is less than the maximuminflation pressure informationfound on the tire. You can find thetire label with the recommendedtire inflation pressure next to thetire size on the B-Pillar or the edgeof the driver door.
The recommended tire inflationpressure is also found on theSafety Compliance CertificationLabel, affixed to either the doorhinge pillar, door-latch post, or thedoor edge that meets thedoor-latch on the B-pillar, or onthe edge of the driver door.
Failure to follow the tire pressurerecommendations can causeuneven treadwear patterns andadversely affect the way yourvehicle handles.
