Save Fuel with Correct Tire Pressure

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for achieving maximum performance and mileage. One of the most important aspects of tire maintenance is proper inflation. Not only are under inflated tires more prone to damage and failure, but they can lead to higher fuel costs.  Your tires carry the entire weight of your vehicle. They cannot do their job properly when underinflated or overinflated. In fact, operating your tires underinflated can also result in a tire failure. Improper pressure can cause severe internal tire damage, which can result in rapid or irregular wear. While new vehicles have tire pressure monitors built in, it is still a good idea to be aware of your tires. Vehicle manufacturers list recommended tire pressures for original vehicle tires in the owner's manual or on a placard on the end of the driver's side door or in the glove box. If the tire is not from the original set the inflation pressure can be found molded on the sidewall. For the most savings at our IA Service Center, view our Ford Service Specials.

New Tires and Tire Rotation

Wondering when its time to get new tires for your Ford? The first thing to look at is tread depth. Tires also have built-in wear indicators: each tread groove will have a four or five spots around the tire that are 2/32 of an inch (the minimum legal tread depth) higher than the rest of the groove. These high spots will create a visible gap in the groove once the tread has worn down to 2/32".  Don't just look at one tread groove, either. Check several, to see if one part of the tire is wearing faster than another. Also, look for "cupping," which is a series of flat spots on the edge of the tread; look at the sidewalls for bulges, which indicate a problem with the tire's internal structure. If you can see wire mesh or threads anywhere, that tire is worse than worn out-it may not be safe to drive on. A tire showing any of these conditions needs to be replaced.  Tire rotation is vital to achieving even tread wear and long tread life. Rotation is necessary because of the uneven wear characteristics of each wheel position on the vehicle. Regular rotation of your tires will help prevent irregular and premature wear, and will save you money in the long run. A healthy habit many people follow is to rotate their tires with every oil change. To learn more about having your tires rotated, visit our Des Moines Service Center.
