Wheels and Tires 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. Front-wheel drive vehicles (front tires on the left side of the diagram) USING SNOW CHAINS WARNING Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or power transfer unit failure. The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads to provide traction in rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow tires or snow chains. If you choose to install snow tires on your vehicle, they must be the same size, construction, and load range as the original tires listed on the tire inflation pressure label (located on the edge of driver door or the B-Pillar) and they must be installed on all four wheels. Mixing tires of different size or construction on your vehicle can adversely affect your vehicle's handling and braking, and may lead to loss of vehicle control. If you use snow chains, we recommended that steel wheels of the same size and specifications are used, snow chains may damage aluminum wheels. Follow these guidelines when using snow chains: • avoid fully loading your vehicle • use 10 mm snow chains only with 215/55/R16 tires • snow chains must be mounted in pairs on the front axle E142547 Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires. USING WINTER TIRES WARNING When you use winter tires on your vehicle, you must make sure that you use the correct lug nuts. If winter tires are used, you must make sure that you use the correct tire pressures. 222 Tourneo Connect/Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America
