As tyres wear and tear over the course of their lifespan, it is vital for Ford owners to be aware when it is time for new tyres in order to keep your Ford moving and stopping safely with optimal road traction and fuel economy:
Tyre Tread
While tyres have tread wear bars in the grooves to indicate the minimum tread depth of 1.6mm, it is recommended that tyres should be checked at remaining tread depths of 3.0mm to 4.0mm as traction gradually decreases particularly on wet roads.
Tyre Inflation
To promote even tread wear and better fuel economy, it is recommended that tyres should be checked monthly to maintain proper inflation according to the tyre pressure or PSI rating that is typically listed inside your vehicle’s driver-side door frame.
Tyre Problem
As a safety precaution, it is recommended that tyres should be checked if warning signs occur such as tyre warning light coming on, hitting a pothole, reduced braking/handling, increased vibration/fuel consumption, cracked sidewalls or uneven wear.
Tyre Age
Regardless of tread wear, it is recommended that tyres should be replaced every 6 years even if they look new or have not been used frequently because tyres will naturally age and degrade through exposure to climate/environmental factors.
