Tire Information WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. IMPORTANT TIRE INFORMATION Your vehicle is equipped with unique wheels and tires designed to enhance performance. To continue providing this performance, extra care must be taken when operating and maintaining your 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 Boss 302 and Boss 302 with Laguna Seca Package original equipment tires are optimized for maximum steering and handling performance. Ford does not recommend using these tires in cold temperatures of approximately 40°F (5°C) and below (depending on tire, surface and weather conditions). See your Ford dealer for recommended tires in these conditions. 23 2012 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
