Choose The Right Types Of Tires

Do You Need New Wheels?
While the team at our Ford service center is experienced in evaluating the tread patterns and tread depths on your existing wheels, there are some signs that you may notice in between service visits and tire rotations. One of the most common ways to check if you need a Ford tire replacement is to check the tread.
The easiest way to check the tread on natural rubber is to place a penny in the grooves. If you can see Lincoln’s head, the wear and tread is too low, indicating the need for a Ford tire replacement. Another sign is when you notice you’re losing pressure at a high speed.
This could indicate a small leak. It’s best to stop in for service to have our certified technicians check the rubber compound and wheel rims. Our team will consult with you about the differences between nitrogen or normal air when evaluating your pressure.
Signs That You Need Tire Service
At Gengras Ford we take pride in offering a full menu of services, including tire service. We can perform a full evaluation of your wheels, especially when you notice uneven wear, odd vibrations or noises when you accelerate or stop. If you’ve noticed a bubble on the side of your wheels, it’s likely you need service before a flat leaves you stranded on the side of the road.
Cracked rubber indicates additional wear and tear. It’s also important to consider the age of your wheels to determine if you need to schedule service.
