Ensure correct tire pressures (see

Tires

previously listed).

Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.

Do not operate your vehicle at high speeds with more than two
passengers or while carrying cargo.

Winter driving

The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in dry and wet summer conditions. They are not
designed for winter use on ice or snow and cannot be used with snow
chains. If you will be operating your vehicle in these conditions, winter
or all-season tires must be used.

Use winter tires on all four wheels and use P255/45R18 tires with a
“V” speed rating and a 93 load index or higher.

Winter tires must be of the proper speed and load ratings.

Be aware that winter or all-season tires will not perform as well as the
original equipment tire in dry and wet conditions. Expect handling,
steering and braking to be degraded.

Do not use a winter tire with less than a “V” speed rating, and even
with clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle above
posted speed limits while using winter tires. Never perform high speed
driving with winter tires.

Wheel lug nut torque specifications

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km)
after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel
removal, etc.).

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel

or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that
contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to
the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal
contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of control.
