Wheels and Tires
After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
To make sure the front and rear tires of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tires
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals between 5,000 km (3,000 mi)
and 10,000 km (6,000 mi).
need to replace the sealant canister and
hose. Sealant canister and hose service
kits can be obtained at an authorized Ford
dealer. Empty sealant canisters may be
disposed of at home. However, canisters
still containing liquid sealant should be
disposed of by your local authorized Ford
dealer or tire dealer, or in accordance with
local waste disposal regulation.
WARNING: Do not scrub the
sidewalls of the tires when you are
parking.
TIRE CARE
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Note: Front tires shown on the left side of
the diagram.
Non-directional tires
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING SUMMER TIRES
Summer tires 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, we do not
recommend using summer tires when
temperatures drop to about 7°C (45°F) 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, we recommend using
Mud and Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season or
Snow tires.
