Most tires can last for three or four years. When you need to replace the tires on your Ford, your Ford dealership is the best place to go. With deals on new tires and a tire finder tool, you can get the best tires for your vehicle at an affordable price. The size and type of tires that are ideal for your vehicle will be listed in your owner's manual. Your Ford car, SUV, or truck requires specific tires to optimize the performance of the engine, suspension system, and even fuel economy. Your owner's manual may even have recommendations for summer tires, highway tires, performance tires, and all-terrain tires that are compatible with your vehicle. more Low or Uneven Tread Most drivers know that balding tires are a sure sign that tires need to be replaced. In the past, drivers had to conduct a penny test or a quarter test to assess the level of tread wear or rely on a visual inspection to measure tire wear. Today's tires are typically designed with a built-in tread wear indicator that lets drivers know when it's time for tire replacement. An uneven tire tread is also a sign to replace your tires. Typically, tires only wear out unevenly if you haven't been keeping up with your recommended tire rotations or if your wheels are unbalanced. When the tread on your tires is too uneven, a mechanic may recommend replacing the whole set, realigning the suspension, and balancing the wheels. Low Air Pressure The air pressure in your tires will naturally decrease each month, so it's a good idea to routinely check and top up your air pressure between service appointments. However, when your tire air pressure is consistently low on all tires or if one tire has extremely low air pressure, you could be dealing with an air leak. While some leaks can be patched, it's usually safer to buy a new set of tires. Vibrating Wheels When your vehicle has good tires, your driving experience behind the wheel will be smooth. If you notice unusual vibrations or a bumpy feeling even on paved roads, this could be because your tires are worn out. Vibrating wheels can also be related to misalignment, old suspension parts, or other issues. Cracks and Bubbles Damage to your tires, such as bubbles, bulges, or cracks, is a major red flag. Your tires are made with durable rubber that can withstand significant wear and tear, so visible damage typically means your tires are too old and need to be replaced. Whether your tires have a low tread or are simply old, replacing the whole set at once is a good way to maintain the performance of your vehicle. Book a tire replacement service appointment when you contact Pugmire Ford of Cartersville today.

A car battery typically lasts five years. However, the lifespan of your battery largely depends on various factors. Below are ways to determine when you need a new car battery from your Ford dealership to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. The Lifespan of a Car Battery Over time and with use, car batteries gradually deteriorate, become weak, and lose their ability to supply enough power to run the electronics and start the engine. To avoid potential battery problems, have your battery regularly tested when it's over three years old. more The Influence of Extreme Temperatures Extreme cold and hot temperatures can shorten the lifespan and even destroy a car battery. In cold climates, batteries can last longer than those in hot climates. The battery case could get damaged, swell, and crack if exposed to severe heat. This could cause hydrogen sulfide, an acidic gas that smells like rotten eggs, to escape and destroy components under the hood. The Effects of Charging System Malfunctions Continuous overcharging or undercharging of the battery can significantly decrease its lifespan. If the charging system malfunctions and the alternator stops charging the battery, your car will rely on battery power. This will cause the battery to become weak, resulting in a voltage drop that will trigger the engine and battery light. You will also face electronic issues, including dim headlights and slow-moving windows and wipers. Additionally, your car may take longer to start, and you may hear a clicking sound when you turn the key in the ignition. If you have to jump-start your vehicle more than once in a short period, it's a sign that the battery has reached the end of its life. Specialized Battery Services When you need a new battery, we've got you covered with a wide selection of high-quality Motorcraft batteries. These batteries are known for their reliability, exceptional performance, and long-lasting power, making them an excellent choice for modern vehicles with advanced technology.
