* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and

rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.

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 front disc brake hub and rotor that contacts 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.

INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized

information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and

describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a

U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number for safety standard certification and

in case of a recall.

Information on “P” type tires

P215/65R15 95H is an example of a

tire size, load index and speed

rating. The definitions of these

items are listed below. (Note that

the tire size, load index and speed

rating for your vehicle may be

different from this example.)

1. P: Indicates a tire, designated by

the Tire and Rim Association

(T&RA), that may be used for

service on cars, SUVs, minivans and

light trucks.

Note: If your tire size does not

begin with a letter this may mean it

is designated by either ETRTO

(European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) or JATMA (Japan Tire

Manufacturing Association).
