Ford Tire Service 101
Why Are Tires Important?
Tires deliver the traction your Ford needs to reach a complete stop. Tires also absorb shock and support vehicle weight. All-season tires give your Ford vehicle year-round traction, while summer tires excel in the Golden Triangle's warm climate. Performance tires are a match for wet conditions and driving at high speeds, while all-terrain tires give your Ford grip on any off-road surface.
How Do I Know If My Ford Needs New Tires?
Check to see if the tires are going bald. A "penny test" can see if the treads are too worn and below the 2/32" mark. It's time for a new tire if Lincoln's entire head is seen between the grooves. A tire tread depth gauge also works. Get new tires in Nederland for your Ford if you have poor handling or no traction on slippery surfaces. Bulges, blisters, and bubbles, or cracks in the tire sidewalls are signs to replace the tire. Remain alert of vibrations while driving, sudden tire pressure loss, and your Ford pulling to one side.
How Often Should I Get New Tires?
It's wise to get new tires for your Ford every 50,000 miles. Most tires become too worn beyond 50,000 miles. Don't wait longer than six years for a new set of tires; old tires are vulnerable to dry rot. You can order new tires in Nederland. We have tires that are the right size for your Ford truck, car, or SUV.
How Do I Prolong The Life Of My Car's Tires?
It's important to balance and rotate your tires to get more miles from them. You get even tire wear from rotating and balancing tires every 7,500 miles. Tire balancing ensures even weight distribution. With a tire rotation, your front tires move to the back to not wear down as fast. A regular tire inspection ensures you're not driving on a bad tire or one with a nail stuck in it. Be sure to check the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) within your Ford. This can alert you of any tire with low pressure. You don't want to drive on over-inflated or under-inflated tires.
