The tires on your Ford need to be replaced every few years, as the tread on them wears down over time. You should always get new tires at your local Ford dealership if you want the best tires for your specific Ford model. Let’s learn a little more about how often you should replace your tires and how you’ll know it’s time to get new ones.
How Often Do You Need New Tires For Your Ford?
Ford states that your tires should last between 25,000 and 50,000 miles. This lifespan estimation is based on how long high-quality, dealer-recommended tires will last. Low-quality tires generally need to be replaced much more frequently. It takes the average driver about four years to drive 50,000 miles, but if you drive less frequently, then your tires are going to last even longer.
Why Should You Get Your Tires from the Ford Dealer?
Dealers Know What’s Best
Not all Ford models are the most compatible with the same tires, and your dealer will be able to advise you on which tires will be best for your Ford. If you have specific tires in mind that you’d like to fit your Ford with, then your dealer can advise on whether or not your desired tires are compatible with your Ford model. If the tires you want aren’t compatible, then your dealer can recommend similar tires that are more compatible with your vehicle.
Dealers Are Fast
Providing incredible customer service is a priority for many dealers, so dealerships will always make sure to deal with your tire replacement as swiftly as possible. Once you make an appointment to get the tires replaced at your dealer, your dealer will be punctual and get your vehicle back to you within a couple of hours.
Dealers May Offer You a Warranty
Many dealerships, including ours, offer a warranty on parts and labor when you get a service such as a tire replacement. If you get a warranty on tires purchased from the dealer, then you won’t have to pay out of pocket if your tires need to be repaired while under warranty.
How Do You Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Tires?
You need to replace your tires when the tread becomes less than 2/32nds of an inch deep. Test your tread by placing a penny into the tread. If you can see Lincoln’s entire head above the tread, then you need to replace your tires. You can also check the tread using a tire gauge, and high-quality tires also have a tread wear indicator built into them.
