Why Proper Tire Care Matters

If you've ever hydroplaned on the road, you know the significance of quality tires and the dangers of tread wear. Minimal tire tread can create perilous driving situations, causing drivers to lose control of their vehicle on the road in inclement weather, such as snow and rain. It's normal for tires to wear out over time, but irregular wear, which can allude to early tire replacement, is something to consider.

Poor tire care, including improper inflation pressure and poor tire alignment, can aggravate wear. Proper inflation pressure helps increase distribution of vehicle load and when braking and acceleration. With too low or too high tire pressure, the tires aren't suited to bear the purpose it was designed to do. The alignment of a tire is instrumental to the condition of your tires. Without proper tire alignment, your Ford tires can wear out unevenly and prematurely.

How to Check Tire Tread Wear

If you believe your tires are losing tread, bring your Ford Explorer or Ford Fusion to our Ford dealership serving Arlington Heights. Our knowledgeable staff will educate you on proper tire care and encourage you to only buy new tires when you need them. In addition, it's important to purchase the right size and type that'll accommodate your vehicle and rims. And when you do buy new tires, break them in carefully. Whether your vehicle demands all-season, snow, or performance tires, we'll pair it with the best-suited type.
