SAFETY<br />
When replacing tires, use the same<br />
size, load range and construction type<br />
(bias, bias belted or radial) as originally<br />
installed on your vehicle. When replacing<br />
wheels, use original equipment<br />
manufacturers wheels or equivalent<br />
available from your <strong>Ford</strong> dealer with<br />
equivalent capacity, width, offset and<br />
mounting configuration as those<br />
originally installed on your vehicle. Use<br />
of improper replacement wheels and tires<br />
may adversely affect ride, handling, load<br />
carrying capacity, bearing life, tire<br />
clearance to body and chassis<br />
<strong>com</strong>ponents, vehicle ground clearance,<br />
vehicle width and brake cooling.<br />

are bywords when handling tires,<br />

to the suggestions that follow may<br />
prevent crippling injuries, or even death.<br />
Make it a rule to respect the terrific force<br />
contained in an inflated tire. You may be<br />

Prepare for any tire repair operation<br />
in a safe and efficient way. In changing<br />
tires on drop center wheels, remove the<br />
wheel and tire from the truck, as<br />
changing tires with the wheel on the<br />
truck is hazardous, more difficult, and<br />
takes more time. In servicing of all tires<br />
use caution not to drop them (or the<br />
wheels or assemblies) on the feet, hands
