Tire FAQs
How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?
Wondering how often to rotate tires? Tire rotation is typically recommended every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, though this can vary depending on your driving habits and vehicle type. Rotating tires helps ensure even wear, improves handling, and extends tire life. Scheduling regular rotations at our Ford Service Center in Fayetteville is a simple way to protect your investment.
What Is a Tire Rotation?
It’s the process of moving tires from one position on the vehicle to another, front to back, side to side, or diagonally. This ensures that each tire experiences wear more evenly. Without rotations, front tires often wear faster due to steering and braking forces. By rotating them, you balance out the wear and maintain consistent performance across all four tires.
How Long Should Tires Last?
On average, most tires last between 50,000 and 60,000 miles, but this depends on factors such as driving style, road conditions, and maintenance. Regular inspections, proper inflation, and timely rotations can help maximize tire lifespan. If you’re unsure about the condition of your tires, schedule a checkup with our service team.
How Do I Measure Tire Tread?
Knowing how to measure tire tread is essential for safety. Tread depth affects traction, especially in wet or snowy conditions, and bald tires can have you slipping dangerously as you drive. A simple way to measure tread is with the penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you can see the top of his head, it’s time to replace your tires. For more precise measurements, tire tread gauges are available. Our technicians can also provide professional inspections to ensure your tires meet safety standards.
What PSI Should My Tires Be?
Most Ford vehicles recommend tire pressures between 30 and 35 PSI, but always check your owner’s manual or the sticker inside the driver’s door for exact specifications. Underinflated tires reduce fuel efficiency and increase wear, while overinflated tires can compromise traction. Regularly checking and adjusting tire pressure helps maintain optimal performance and safety.
