Your vehicle comes with unique wheels matched to the tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
  • Maintain proper tire pressure.
  • Due to extreme tire and wheel width, do not take your vehicle 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 you have a damaged wheel, replace it immediately.
  • If you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect the outside tire wall of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
Note:   Ford Performance only recommends using bead-lock rings from Ford Performance Parts, in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tire. Any other combination using this wheel could result in air loss or tire failure.
Note:   Converting the bead-lock compatible wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use only. We do not approve of the use of true bead-locks for on-road driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with the optional bead lock compatible wheel, you can convert this wheel to use a true bead-lock ring, which allows operation at low tire pressures when off-road to minimize the risk of de-beading the tire. See your local Ford Performance Parts Dealer for more information.
Tire Care
WARNING   WARNING:  Always re-inflate tires to recommended tire pressures before the vehicle is operated on-road. The recommended pressure is located on the tire label or safety certification label, located on the B-pillar, inside the driver's door.
WARNING   WARNING:  After off-road use, before returning to the road, check the wheels and tires for damage. Off-road use may cause damage to your wheels and tires that can lead to tire failure, loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Replace the wheels and tires with the exact original brand, size and construction that came originally on your vehicle. Use of any other wheel or tire combinations, even with identical size ratings, may result in insufficient running clearances, tire rubbing and eventual puncture. Failure to follow tire replacement recommendations can lead to tire failure, loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

Note:   If you have reduced your tire pressure for off-road use, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light then activates in the instrument panel as a reminder to re-inflate the tires before returning to the road.
Your vehicle comes with high performance, all-terrain tires designed to optimize handling, steering and braking to provide the performance you expect in a Ford Performance vehicle. These tires are optimized for both on and off-road performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics are different from other tires. Also, because of their aggressive tread profile, it is important that you maintain your tires properly.
  • Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar, using an accurate gauge. Remember to be prepared to re-inflate your tires before returning to the road. If a tire filling station is not available, remember to prepare a supplemental means to inflate the tires, such as a portable compressor.
  • Check and set the tire pressures when the tires are cold, and not warm from driving. Wait at least three hours after parking the vehicle before checking tire pressure. Do not reduce the pressure of warm tires.
  • Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure can decrease over time and fluctuate with temperature.
  • Do not overload your vehicle.Maximum vehicle and axle weights are on the tire information placard.
  • Use extra caution when operating the vehicle near its maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing speeds.
  • If you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage.
  • Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. Replace a damaged tire immediately.
  • We do not approve the use of snow chains on your vehicle's tires.
  • Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment checked.
Spare Tire and Wheel
Your vehicle comes with a full size matching spare with an all-terrain tire. The spare tire and wheel assembly has the same capability as the road tire and wheel assemblies but does not come with a tire pressure monitoring sensor.
