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. • 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 WARNING: SVT only recommends using bead-lock rings from Ford Racing, in conjunction with the OEM tire. Any other combination using this wheel could result in air loss or tire failure. Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires. To avoid damage to your wheels: • Maintain proper tire pressure (see the Tires section of this supplement for more information). • 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. 35 2013 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
