Ford Tire ServicesWhen Should I Change My Tires?
Even the best tires will wear out eventually. An easy way to test the amount of remaining tread on your tires is the penny test, where you insert a penny into the tread groove, with Lincoln’s head pointing down. Can you see the top of Lincoln’s head? If so, this means there is less than 2/32 of an inch of tread left and it’s time to change your tires.
Not sure when you should change your tires and don’t want to do the penny test? Consult your owner’s manual or contact our expert service team for assistance.
Ford Tire ServicesWhat Are The Warning Signs of a Bad Tire?
In addition to overall tread wear, there are several signs that your tires are bad or in poor condition and need to be changed. The most obvious sign of a bad tire is that it won’t hold air. Whether this is because of a puncture or other issue, contact our service center to take care of the issue.
- Physical damage like cuts or cracks
- Bulging tire
- Uneven wear
- Noise or vibration when you drive

Ford Tire ServicesWhat is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves moving the tires on your vehicle from one position to another. Rotating your tires is necessary because tires tend to wear unevenly, and rotating them helps even this out. Generally, you should rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help lengthen their life and performance.
The tire professionals at Imlay City Ford can determine the right pattern for your tire rotation and take care of the service in a jiffy when you schedule service.
Ford Tire ServicesWhat Tires Fit My Car?
The best way to see which tires you need for your car is to either consult the owner’s manual or the vehicle information placard on the inside of your driver’s side door (depending on the age and make of your vehicle). You will see a sequence of numbers and letters that tell you what size tires you need.
For example, the 2021 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 comes equipped with 265/70 R17 all-terrain tires. Under the tire size section of the placard for this truck, you will see “265/70 R17.”
Here’s the translation:
- The “265” is the width of the tire, in millimeters, from sidewall to sidewall. You may see a “P” or “LT” before this number, which indicates the tire is for either a passenger vehicle (P) or light truck (LT).
- The “70” is the aspect ratio, which is a ratio of the tire’s height to its width.
- The “R” tells you the construction type of the tire — the “R” indicates that this is a radial tire.
- Finally, the “17” tells you the rim size, in inches. In this case, the tires fit on a 17-inch wheel.
Your current tires will have this information printed into their sidewall.
From there, you need to decide what type of tires to equip on your vehicle.
- All-season tires As their name suggests, all-season tires are solid all-around performers.
- Winter tires: With a special design and construction that’s ideal for snowy roads, winter tires are a great option for the Michigan winter months.
- Summer tires: Optimized for performance in warmer weather conditions, summer tires should only be used during the warmer months of the year.
- All-terrain tires: Rough and rugged, all-terrain tires are the tires you want for four-wheel drive vehicles or off-road driving.
After making these decisions, you can select the right tires for your needs from a long list of available tire brands using our convenient tire finder tool.
