Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.

SUMMER TIRES (IF EQUIPPED)

Summer tires provide superior performance on wet and dry roads. Summer
tires do not have the Mud and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on the
tire side wall. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance
as All-season or Snow tires, Ford does not recommend using summer tires
when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below (depending
on tire wear and environmental conditions) or in snow and ice conditions.
Like any tire, summer tire performance is affected by tire wear and
environmental conditions. If you must drive in those conditions, Ford
recommends using Mud and Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season or Snow tires.

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNING: Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility
of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for

extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle components.

WARNING: Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed
rating 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, transfer case or power transfer unit failure.

The tires on your vehicle may have all-weather treads to provide traction
in rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow
tires and chains. Use chains on the tires only in an emergency or if the
law requires them.
