Get Tire Care -> Tire Rotation Guide for Ford Edge SUV Third Generation (2024-2026)

Periodically inspect the tire treads

for uneven or excessive wear and

remove objects such as stones,

nails or glass that may be wedged

in the tread grooves.

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR

DAMAGE

Inspect the tire sidewalls for

cracking, cuts, bruises and other

signs of damage or excessive

wear. If internal damage to the tire

is suspected, have the tire

dismounted and inspected in case

it needs to be repaired or replaced.

For your safety, tires that are

damaged or show signs of

excessive wear should not be used

because they are more likely to

blow out or fail.

Periodically inspect the tire treads

and sidewalls for damage, such

as bulges in the tread or sidewalls,

cracks in the tread groove and

separation in the tread or sidewall.

If damage is observed or

suspected, have the tire inspected

by a tire professional.

Safety Practices

WARNING: If your vehicle

is stuck in snow, mud or sand, do

not rapidly spin the tires;

spinning the tires can tear the

tire and cause an explosion. A

tire can explode in as little as

three to five seconds.

WARNING: Do not spin the

wheels at over 34 mph

(55 km/h). The tires may fail and

injure a passenger or bystander.

HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE

DANGEROUS

Correct inflation pressure is

especially important. However, at

high speeds, even with the correct

inflation pressure, a road hazard

for example is more difficult to

avoid and if contact is made, has

a greater chance of causing tire

damage than at a lower speed.

Moreover, driving at high speed

reduces the reaction time

available to avoid accidents and

bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

If you see any damage to a tire or

wheel, replace it with the spare at

once and visit a participating Tire

Retailer.

Exceeding the maximum speeds

shown on the following page for

each type of tire will cause the tire

to build up excessive heat which

can cause tire damage that could

result in sudden tire destruction

and rapid air loss. Failure to

control a vehicle when one or

more tires experience a sudden air

loss can lead to an accident.

In any case, you should not

exceed reasonable speeds as

indicated by the legal limits

and driving conditions.

DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING

ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS

DANGEROUS

The maximum load rating of your

tires is molded on the tire sidewall.

Do not exceed this rating. Follow

the loading instructions of the

manufacturer of your vehicle and

this will ensure that your tires are

not overloaded. Tires which are

loaded beyond their maximum

allowable loads for the particular

application will build up excessive

heat that may result in sudden tire

destruction. Do not exceed the

gross axle weight rating for any

axle on your vehicle.

TIRE ALTERATIONS

Do not make or allow to be made

any alterations on your tires.

Alterations may prevent proper

performance, leading to tire

damage which can result in an

accident. Tires which become

unserviceable due to alterations

such as truing, whitewall inlays,

addition of balancing or sealant

liquids, or the use of tire dressing

containing petroleum distillates

are excluded from warranty

coverage.

REPAIRS - WHEREVER

POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRE

RETAILER AT ONCE

If any tire sustains a puncture,

have the tire demounted and

thoroughly inspected by a tire

retailer for possible damage that

may have occurred. A tread area

puncture in any passenger or light

truck tire can be repaired provided

that the puncture hole is not more

than 1/4” in diameter, not more

than one radial cable per casing

ply is damaged, and the tire has

not been damaged further by the

puncturing object or by running

underinflated. Tire punctures

consistent with these guidelines

should only be repaired by

following the US Tire

Manufacturers Association

(USTMA) recommended repair

procedures. Plug-only repairs

done on-the-wheel are considered

improper and therefore, not

recommended. Such repairs are

not reliable and may cause further

damage to the tire.

STORAGE

Tires contain waxes and

emollients to protect their outer

surfaces from ozone and weather

checking. As the tire rolls and

flexes, the waxes and emollients

continually migrate to the surface,

replenishing this protection

throughout the normal use of the

tire. Consequently, when tires sit

unused for long periods of time (a

month or more) their surfaces
