Frequently Asked Questions About Tire Services
How often should I rotate my tires?
We recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at every other oil change. This practice helps to ensure even tread wear, maximizing the life of your tires and maintaining optimal handling.
When do I know it’s time to replace my tires?
The minimum legal tread depth is 2/32 of an inch. A simple way to check is the penny test: if you can see all of Lincoln's head when the penny is inserted upside down into a tread groove, it's time for new tires. Also, check for visible cracks, bulges, or punctures.
Can all flat tires be repaired?
No, only punctures in the main tread area that are less than a quarter-inch wide can be safely repaired with a plug and patch. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, or tires that have been driven on while severely under-inflated, usually require replacement.
Why is proper tire inflation so important?
Proper tire inflation is vital for safety, fuel economy, and tire lifespan. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance (wasting gas) and cause excessive heat buildup and premature wear on the edges. The correct pressure is listed on the sticker inside your driver's side door jamb, not on the tire itself.
Do I need an alignment when I get new tires?
We strongly recommend a wheel alignment check when installing new tires. If your vehicle is out of alignment, the new tires will wear unevenly and prematurely. Alignments ensure your wheels are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground.
How long do tires usually last?
The lifespan depends heavily on the type of tire, driving habits, and maintenance (like rotations and proper pressure).
- Passenger Cars and Light-Duty Trucks: On average, most tires last between 40,000 and 60,000 miles.
- Heavy-Duty and Commercial Vehicles: Tires on vehicles like the Ford Super Duty series that frequently carry maximum loads, tow heavily, or operate off-road may have a shorter lifespan, often between 30,000 and 45,000 miles, depending on the tread compound. For these vehicles, load rating and heat management are critical factors in tire longevity.
Regardless of mileage, tires over six years old should be inspected annually by a professional, as the rubber can degrade over time.
