• Proper suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, have your alignment checked.
• 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.
Tire Rotation
Because your vehicle’s tires perform
different jobs, they often wear differently.
To make sure your tires wear evenly and
last longer, have them rotated.
The front tires are shown at the left of the
illustration.
Note: Your vehicle requires tire rotations
every 5000 miles (8000 kilometers). If you
notice that the tires wear unevenly, have
them checked.
Spare Tire and Wheel
Your vehicle is equipped with an
LT315/70R17 spare tire. The spare
tire/wheel assembly has the same
capability as the road tire/wheel assembly,
but is not equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring sensor.
USING SNOW CHAINS
The original equipment tires on your vehicle
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
your Owner’s Manual.
WHEELS
Your vehicle is equipped with unique
wheels matched to the tires. To avoid
damage to your wheels:
• Maintain proper tire pressure. See Tire
Care (page 26).
• Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this
vehicle cannot be taken through an
automatic car wash that uses
mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
• When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.
• Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If you have a damaged
wheel, 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.
Optional Bead-Lock Compatible
Wheel
Note: SVT only recommends using
bead-lock rings from Ford Racing, in
conjunction with the OEM tire. Any other
combination using this wheel could result
in air loss or tire failure.
Note: Converting the bead-lock compatible
wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use
only. On road driving is not permitted.
