Tires, Wheels and Loading Wheel misalignment in the front or the rear can cause uneven and rapid treadwear of your tires and should be corrected by a qualified technician at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer. Front wheel drive (FWD) vehicles and those with an independent rear suspension (if equipped) may require alignment of all four wheels. The tires should also be balanced periodically. An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly may result in irregular tire wear. Tire rotation Because your vehicle is equipped with unique larger tires on the rear wheels, you can only rotate tires side to side. You must not rotate tire in a crisscross pattern or front to rear. If you notice that the tires wear unevenly, have them checked. Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance chapter) will help your tires wear more evenly, providing better tire performance and longer tire life. Unless otherwise specified, rotate the tires approximately every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). • Tire rotation Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires. Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask a qualified technician at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation. Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the vehicle requirements. 88 2005 GT (gto) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
