Tire Durability

The standard rule that most people will tell you is to replace your tires every 40,000 miles or six years, whichever comes first. Either age or wear can ruin your tire. You need to keep your tires up-to-date to stay safe on the road.

A lot is riding on your tires: you, any cargo, passengers, and your vehicle’s weight itself. All of it is going at highway speeds, clinging to the road by four palm-sized patches of tire rubber. As you can see, the condition of your Elizabethton TN Ford tires is paramount to everyone’s safety.

Even though we said that the general rule is to replace your tires at 40,000 miles, there is more to it than that. Truly, you always want to keep an eye on your tires, just like with all your auto parts. Otherwise, you could just be waiting for a blowout or flat to happen. We would rather that you be safe than sorry.

Wear, Tear, and Aging

No matter what, even if you keep your car in a climate-controlled garage, your tires will degrade. While we said that you could drive on a tire for six years, all have a hardline expiration date. Even if your tire has never been on a vehicle, at ten years, it should be thrown out.

You can calculate the age of your tire by looking for the manufacturing date. The last four digits of the DOT (Department of Transportation) code in the inner ring of numbers on your tire’s sidewall represent the week and year in which it was made. As an example, a tire with a code ending in “2720” was made in the 27^th week of 2020.

You can choose from 16 different major tire brands during your Elizabethton TN ford service.

Ford Tire Tread Depth

The most significant thing to be on the lookout for is your tire’s tread depth. Your tires’ grooves are what allows your car to grip the road. If you let them wear down too much, you will lose the ability to start, stop, and turn effectively. So, obviously, you need to keep them up for your safety’s sake.

A new tire’s tread depth is between 9/32’’ and 11/32’’. The legal limit on how low your tread depth can get is 2/32’’, but we highly recommend not letting it get below 4/32’’.

There is a test that allows you to give a rough estimation called the penny test. You place a penny upside-down into your tire’s grooves. If you can still see Lincoln’s head, then it is time for a new tire.

On the other hand, there are cheap hand tire gauges that fit comfortably inside your glove compartment. They will give you a more accurate measurement. Be sure to take measurements along multiple places on your Elizabethton TN Ford tires’ circumference.

Tire Air Pressure

After your tire tread, air pressure is the next most significant factor in the care of your Elizabethton TN Ford tires. As you heard, there is very little surface area actually touching the road. With the proper tire pressure, it stays that way. You need enough force pushing out to lift your car off the ground. Your tires’ elasticity is part of what pushes you forward.

Both an overinflated tire and an underinflated tire will mean they do not last as long. Plus, it is more dangerous. When overinflated, your tire is experiencing more pressure than the material was built to withstand. On the other hand, an underinflated tire, will fold and drag under you as you drive.

The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) claims you should check your tire pressure at least one time every month. On the edge of your driver’s door or along your B-pillar, you will find the air pressure to have your tires at. Any cars made after 2007 are legally required to have a built-in monitoring system. But you should be able to check the air pressure yourself. Just as with your tread, you can purchase a cheap hand pressure gauge.

Always be sure not to fill your tires to the maximum pressure, especially in the cold. When it heats up, the air will expand and overinflate your tire. If your tire was already too inflated, to begin with, then this can result in a blowout.
