Tire Information IMPORTANT TIRE INFORMATION Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels and tires designed to enhance performance and appearance. To continue providing this performance, extra care must be taken when operating and maintaining your vehicle. TIRES Your SVT vehicle is equipped with high performance, all-terrain tires that are designed to optimize handling, steering and braking to provide the performance you expect in an SVT vehicle. These tires are optimized for both on and off-road performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics are different than other tires. Also, because of their aggressive tread profile, it is important that you maintain your tires properly. • Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard located on the driver's door B-pillar, using an accurate gauge. Note: If tire pressure has been reduced for off-road use, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light will then activate in the instrument panel as a reminder to reinflate the tires before returning to the road. Remember to be prepared to re-inflate your tires before returning to the road. If a tire filling station is not available, remember to prepare a supplemental means to inflate the tires, such as a portable compressor. WARNING: Always re-inflate tires to recommended tire pressures before the vehicle is operated on-road. The recommended pressure is located on the tire placard label or safety certification label, located on the B-pillar, inside the driver's door. WARNING: Always check tires and wheels for damage before returning to the road. Off-road use may cause damage to your tires and wheels that could result in tire failure. • Tire pressures are specified "cold" and should be checked after the vehicle has been parked for at least three 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. 27 2011 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
