When you drive off the lot in your new Ford from Jefferson Ford, you want to make sure it's equipped with a set of high-quality tires. The tires on your vehicle play a crucial role in its safety, performance, and overall driving experience. Inferior or worn-out tires can negatively impact handling, traction, ride comfort, and even fuel efficiency.
It's essential to choose tires that are appropriate for your specific Ford model and driving needs, and our team can help. So, how do you know when it's time to replace your vehicle's tires? Here are a few key indicators:
- Tread wear: Check the depth of your tire treads using the "penny test". If the top of Lincoln's head is visible, your treads are too shallow and it's time for new tires.
- Age: Most manufacturers recommend replacing tires after 6-10 years, regardless of mileage.
- Damage: Look for signs of damage like cuts, bulges, or blisters on the sidewalls. These can indicate internal damage and increase the risk of a blowout.
Our tire center can also help you determine if it's time for new tires, and we can help you order the perfect replacement set if needed. We offer professional installation and tire services to keep you rolling smoothly and safely in your wherever your travels may take you.
