Tips To Make Your Tires Last

Let’s be honest, our Ford can’t do much but sit there and look pretty without tires. And if you have had to replace your tires before, you know that is quite the investment. If you want to prolong your tires, care for them with these tips!

Check Your Tire Pressure Often

The key to even wear and tear on your tires is making sure they are at the optimal tire pressure. Take the time to check your tire pressure once a week or several times a month. If you wait until your vehicle is getting serviced for an oil change, it may be too late. Having even tire pressure will also increase your gas mileage and keep you safe from vehicle trouble or collisions.

Don’t Forget to Check

Once you check the tire pressure, be sure to also do a thorough inspection to check for things like nails and glass or bulging and cracks. Objects like nails and glass can cause holes in your tires, while cracking and bulging are signs it may be time for a repair or new tire before you hit the road again.

Don’t Forget to Rotate

Don’t forgo the tire rotation service when you take your vehicle to an auto service center for an oil change. While this may seem excessive or add a few bucks and minutes to your visit, it could save you both time and money in the long run. While some vehicles can go longer than others or may require rotations more often, a good rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. When in doubt, if it’s time for an oil change, it is probably time for a tire rotation service as well.
