Tires, Wheels and Loading
Inspecting your tires
Periodically inspect the  tire treads for  uneven or excessive wear  and
remove stones, nails,  glass or other  objects that may be  wedged in the
tread grooves. Check  for holes or  cuts that may permit  air leakage from
the tire and  make necessary repairs.
Also inspect the  tire sidewalls for  cuts, bruises and other  damage. If
internal damage to  the tire is  suspected, have the tire  demounted and
inspected in case  it needs to  be repaired or replaced.  For your safety,
tires that are  damaged should not  be used because they  are more likely
to blow out  or fail. Tires  can be damaged during  off-road use, so
inspection after off-road  use is also  recommended.
Inflating your tires
Use a tire  gauge to check  the tire inflation pressure,  including the spare
(if equipped), at  least monthly and  before long trips. You  are strongly
urged to buy  a reliable tire  pressure gauge, as automatic  service station
gauges may be  inaccurate. Ford recommends  the use of a  digital or dial
type tire pressure  gauge rather than  a stick type tire  pressure gauge.
Use the recommended  cold inflation pressure  for optimum tire
performance and wear.  Under-inflation or over-inflation  may cause
uneven treadwear patterns.
Under-inflation is the  most common cause  of tire failures and
may result in  severe tire cracking,  tread separation orЉblowoutЉ,
with unexpected loss  of vehicle control  and increased risk of  injury.
Under-inflation increases sidewall  flexing and rolling  resistance,
resulting in heat  buildup and internal  damage to the tire.  It also may
result in unnecessary  tire stress, irregular  wear, loss of vehicle  control
and accidents. A  tire can lose  up to half of  its air pressure  and not
appear to be  flat!
Always inflate your  tires to the  Ford recommended inflation pressure
even if it  is less than  the maximum inflation pressure  information found
on the tire.  The Ford recommended  tire inflation pressure is  found on
the tire label  or certification label  which is located on  the B-Pillar or  the
edge of the  driver’s door. Failure  to follow the tire  pressure
recommendations can cause  uneven treadwear patterns  and adversely
affect the way  your vehicle handles.
MaximumPermissibleInflationPressure     is the  tire manufactures’
maximum permissible pressure  and/or the pressure  at which the
maximum load can  be carried by  the tire. This pressure  is normally
