The condition of your tires puts the safety of your Ford on the line. It's time for new tires from the Ford dealership if you notice any of these signs of trouble with your tires. Tread Depth Below 2/32" The minimum safe depth for tread on your tire is 2/32 of an inch. The most common way to check how much tread you have left is something called the "penny test." Take a penny and place it in the groove of your tire's tread, with Lincoln facing down. If you can see the top of his head, your tires are too worn to be safe and need to be replaced. Irregular Tread Wear Uneven wear can be a sign of misalignment, improper inflation, or suspension issues. Rotating your tires regularly can help avoid this issue, but once the wear has become bad enough, your tires will need to be replaced. Vibration or Noise If you notice a lot of road noise or vibration even when driving on smooth roads, there may be a problem with your tires. Anything from internal damage to misalignment can cause shaking while you're operating your car, so if you feel a lot of vibration you should have your tires inspected. Sidewall Integrity Issues Cracks, cuts, or grooves in the sidewall can signify serious problems with your tire's structural integrity. Damaged sidewalls can't be patched, so if the cuts are more than superficial you will have to replace your tire. Bulges on the Tire's Surface Bumps and bulges that protrude from the surface of your tires point to areas where damage has caused weak spots. These weak spots are likely to fail suddenly, so if you see one you should have the tire replaced immediately. Aging Tires The rubber compounds in your tires break down over time due to age and exposure to the environment. Even if your tread has not worn down, most manufacturers recommend replacing your tires once they reach six years of age. Frequently Low Tire Pressure If you need to add air to your tires once in a while, that's normal. Heading to the air pump every week or so is not. Tires with constantly low pressure probably have leaks. You should have your tires inspected to see if your leaks can be repaired. Poor Handling If you notice decreased responsiveness while steering, braking, or accelerating, it could be due to worn-out tires affecting your car's performance.
