Tires, Wheels and Loading
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:
•
SAE class “S” cables should ONLYbe used on the front axle for
P235/70R16 tires. With P225/75R15 and P215/70R16 tires, SAE class
“S” cables can be used on both the front and rear wheels.

•
Install cables or chains securely, verifying that the cables or chains do
not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables or chains rub or bang against
the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the
cables or chains to prevent vehicle damage.

Avoid overloading your vehicle.

Do not use cables or chains on dry roads.

Consult your authorized dealer for information on other Ford Motor
Company approved methods of traction control.
