What to Know
Tires should be rotated every 5,000–7,500 miles to promote even wear and extend their life.
Proper tire inflation improves fuel economy, handling, and tire longevity. Check pressure monthly and before long trips.
Tread depth should be at least 2/32" — use the penny test (Lincoln's head should be partially covered) to check.
Unbalanced tires cause vibration and uneven wear. Balancing is typically done when mounting new tires or if vibration develops.
When to Schedule
- Every 5,000–7,500 miles for rotation
- When tread depth reaches 4/32" (sooner for winter driving)
- After hitting a large pothole or curb
- When your TPMS (tire pressure) light comes on
- Before winter or summer season changes
Signs to Look For
Vibration in the steering wheel at highway speeds
Uneven or rapid tread wear
Tire pressure warning light
Visible bulges, cracks, or sidewall damage
Vehicle pulling to one side
Flat or slow leak
