It’s important for the tires on your vehicle to have adequate air pressure and even tread wear to support the performance of your engine. When your tires are old, you might have trouble with your vehicle’s handling. When it’s time for new tires, you should visit your Ford dealer to order and install replacements.
Ordering tires from your dealership is a good idea for a couple of reasons. First, your dealership is stocked with tire brands recommended for your model, which means you will be able to access the exact tires your vehicle needs. You can even install special winter or summer tires to prepare for temperature changes. Second, ordering tires through your dealership could mean discounted prices so you can save money on labor costs.
Signs You Need Tire Replacement
In general, the tires on your vehicle should last for at least three to five years if you are driving between 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year. For drivers that average around 10,000 miles or fewer a year, your tires can last even longer as long as you don’t get a flat. You may burn through tires more quickly if you use your Ford for off-roading or there are other tough road conditions wearing down your tread. The main signs you need to replace your tires include:
Visible Damage
Visible damage to the tire is an early warning sign of a flat tire. If you notice a bulge, crack, or gouge on the sidewall of your tire, it’s best to get a replacement as soon as possible. Damage to the sidewall of your tire can lead to blowouts, air leaks, and other issues that make it dangerous to be on the road.
Low Tread Wear
Balding tires are a big problem. If the tread on your tires is too low, then your tires will generate too much friction from the road without any way to cool down, which can lead to a blowout. During your routine tire rotations, the tread on your tires is assessed to make sure the tread is wearing evenly.
Low Tire Pressure
If you’re having trouble with the air pressure in your tires, it might be time for a replacement. You should check your air pressure at least once a month. When your air pressure is consistently low even after you refill the tire, you might have an air leak. Sensors in your car may notify you about low tire pressure.
The tires on your vehicle need to be in good condition so you can drive on the road safely. You can have your tires replaced during a routine tire rotation or as soon as you notice tire issues. Contact Holt Motors Ford of Cokato to order your tires today.
