Aluminum Multispoke, + 45 mm offset Tires Your SVT vehicle is equipped with low profile, high performance tires that are designed to optimize the driving dynamics you expect in a SVT vehicle. These tires are not optimized for off-road or winter (snow or cold weather) performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics are different than non-performance tires. Also, because of their lower profile, the tires are more susceptible to damage due to potholes and rough roads. To ensure that your tires perform as intended, it is important that you maintain your tires properly: • The Shelby GT500 original equipment tires are optimized for performance in both wet and dry conditions. Ford does not recommend using the original equipment tires when temperatures are below 40°F (5°C) or in snow/ice conditions. • Do not use tire chains on the P255/45R18 (front) or P285/40R18 (rear) tires supplied with your vehicle. The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage your vehicle. • For tire pressures, see the placard located on the B-pillar inside the driver's door. • Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard on the doorjamb, using an accurate gauge. • Tire pressures are specified "cold" and should be checked after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure of warm tires. • Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature. • Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are listed on the tire information placard. • Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing speeds. • Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid impacts that could cause tire damage. • In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage. 13 2008 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement USA (fus)

Tires
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with low profile, high performance tires
that are designed to optimize the driving dynamics you expect in a SVT
vehicle. These tires are not optimized for off-road or winter (snow or
cold weather) performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics
are different than non-performance tires. Also, because of their lower
profile, the tires are more susceptible to damage due to potholes and
rough roads. To ensure that your tires perform as intended, it is
important that you maintain your tires properly:
•
The Shelby GT500 original equipment tires are optimized for
performance in both wet and dry conditions. Ford does not
recommend using the original equipment tires when temperatures are
below 40°F (5°C) or in snow/ice conditions.
•
Do not use tire chains
on the P255/45R18 (front) or P285/40R18
(rear) tires supplied with your vehicle. The use of any type of tire
chain on these tires may damage your vehicle.
•
For tire pressures, see the placard located on the B-pillar inside the
driver’s door.
•
Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard on the doorjamb, using an accurate gauge.
•
Tire pressures are specified “cold” and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure
of warm tires.
•
Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.
•
Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•
Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•
Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
•
In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
