soon as possible with a road tire/wheel that is the same size and type as

the road tires and wheels that were originally provided by Ford. If the

• Comfort and noise

• Ground clearance and parking at curbs

• Winter weather driving capability

• Wet weather driving capability

• All-Wheel Driving Capability (if applicable)

• Load Leveling Adjustment (if applicable)

Conventional spare tire information

If you have the spare tire that is the same size as your other road tires,

you can use the spare as you would any of the other tires. The spare tire

will be equivalent to your road tires, although it may not have the same

appearance (black-side wall instead of outlined-white letters).
