When Do I Need New Tires?
Your vehicle's tires will eventually wear out after many miles of travel. With the proper help at Gilland Ford, you know just when you’ll need new ones for your Ford Expedition or Explorer. Luckily, our Service Center is here to help whenever you need new tires installed!
Worn Out Tread
Whenever you drive to work, school, or other places in town, the rubber meets the road and your tires’ tread wears out gradually. One way to determine if they're too worn thin is by taking a penny and then placing the head of the president upside down on the tread of the tire. If you can still see the head, this indicates that it may be due for a replacement. After all, having enough tread is essential to maintaining proper hold to Route 431. This helps provide safer drives, since your vehicle is more protected from slipping whenever it rains here in Dothan.
Cracks on the Tires
Perhaps you drove somewhere up north with your tires and they became frigid. If this happens, you could see cracks along them. Also, this can occur as a result of intense sunlight impacting the tire as well. But, perhaps you had an accident and you bumped into the curb. The damage that is left can lead to air loss of the tire. As a result, it will need to be swapped out at our Service Department by our technicians. We have excellent brands to offer at Gilland Ford for your future travels through Forever Wild Trails.
Other Signs
We'll now go over the various other signs that indicate if your tires need to be swapped out. You may see bulges along the sidewalls if you bump into a pole while driving. Or, perhaps the air pressure of your tires is not up to par as they once were. These can indicate that your set needs to be changed for a new assortment. Also, perhaps you may not have kept up with the regular service intervals for your vehicle's tires. If so, this can lead to premature wear and warrant a replacement sooner than usual. Ultimately, checking the Owner's Manual is the most accurate way to see if a replacement is required. Whenever your set needs to be changed out, schedule an appointment to see us!
