Lincoln Navigator L (2008) SUV [17/24] Tire replacement requirements

TIRE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and

handling capability.

Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size

and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus

all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or

wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and

performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of

loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause

steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit failure. If

you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an authorized

dealer.

When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not

exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the

tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below. If the

beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and

try again.

If a pressure in excess of the maximum pressure indicated is required,

the following additional precautions must be taken to protect the

person mounting the tire:

First check to ensure that you have the correct tire and wheel size.

For mounting pressures up to 20 psi greater than the maximum

pressure on the tire sidewall: When inflating the tire:

1. First, again lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area

2. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet away from the tire wheel assembly

3. Use both eye and ear protection

For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi greater than the maximum

pressure, a Ford Dealer or other tire service professional should do the

mounting.

Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person

inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft. away from the tire wheel

assembly.

Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road

tires are replaced on your vehicle.

It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be

replaced as a pair.
