Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard on the driver's door jamb, using an accurate gauge. Tire pressures are specified cold. Check them 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. USING WINTER TIRES The original equipment tires on your ST vehicle are designed for maximum performance in dry and wet summer conditions. They are not designed for winter use on ice or snow and cannot be used with snow chains. Ford does not recommend using the original equipment tires when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below (depending on tire wear and environmental conditions) or in snow and ice conditions. You must use winter or all-season tires if you will be operating your vehicle in these conditions. • Even with clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle above posted speed limits or perform high speed maneuvers with winter tires. Do not use tire chains on the original wheels and tires of your vehicle. The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage your vehicle. • • • Tire Pressure for High Speed Usage If you are operating your ST vehicle in areas that allow high-speed driving over 100 mph (161 km/h), increase the tire pressure in all four tires by 3 psi above the pressures listed on the Tire Pressure placard located on the driver 's side b-pillar. • 21 Fiesta (CCT)
