Tire Information • 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. • In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage. • Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged, replace it immediately. • Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment checked. • Your SVT vehicle follows a more stringent tire rotation schedule as compared to the base F-150. Refer to Tire rotation in the Maintenance chapter for more information. • When replacing tires, the only way to assure original performance is to use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be the same size, speed rating and load rating. WHEELS Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires. To avoid damage to your wheels: • Maintain proper tire pressure (see "Tires" previously listed). • Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this vehicle cannot be taken through an automatic car wash that uses mechanical tracks, as wheel damage may result. • When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a torque wrench. • Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is damaged, replace it immediately. • In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage. 33 2012 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
