Tires, Wheels and Loading
tires and chains. If you need to use snow tires and chains, it is
recommended that steel wheels are used of the same size and
specifications as those originally installed.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
•
Use only cable type chains offered by Ford as an accessory or
equivalent. SAE class “S” or other conventional link type chains may
cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house and/or body.
•
•
Install cable chains securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and re-tighten the cables. If this does not work, remove
the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.
•
•
If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
Remove the tire cables when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire cables on dry roads.
•
The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle
damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when
using snow tires and cables.
•
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.

your vehicle’s weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle’s
Safety Certification Label and Tire Label:

fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or
