WARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an authorized dealer.

If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again. If a pressure in excess of the maximum pressure indicated is required, the following additional precautions must be taken to protect the person mounting the tire: First check to ensure that you have the correct tire and wheel size. For mounting pressures up to 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall: When inflating the tire: 1. First, again lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area. 2. Stand at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire wheel assembly. 3. Use both eye and ear protection. For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than the maximum pressure, a Ford dealer or other tire service professional should do the mounting. Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft (3.66 m) away from the tire wheel assembly. Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road tires are replaced on your vehicle. It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair. 17 2011 Four Wheel Drive (4wd) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
