Your Lincoln’s luxuriously quiet smoothness requires healthy tires. The following tire care services, all available at your Lincoln dealership, will keep your tires performing well for longer.
Tire Care Tips Every Lincoln Owner Should Know
Balance Your Tires
Weight distribution around the edge of a tire tends to be uneven. Certain spots are heavier and lighter. This lack of balance wears down the tire faster by increasing friction and impacts in certain areas of the treads but not others.
You can have this corrected with tire balancing twice a year. Our technicians will spin each tire in a machine that detects the heavier spots. Small weights can then be fixed around the rim to balance things out.
Align Your Tires
Tires usually become misaligned by bumps and uneven tire treads. Here, the suspension holding each wheel in place is slowly skewed into an improper position. As a result, the tire points outward or inward, misaligned on the caster, camber, or toe angle, and sometimes all three.
This causes a lot of damage to the tires, which are forced to roll over the tarmac at crooked angles. Fortunately, it’s easy to fix. Twice a year, you can have your tires realigned with our special alignment machinery.
Rotate Your Tires
Over time, car tires also tend to wear down unevenly, which shortens their lifespan and puts them at risk of blowing out. Every six months, concurrent with your balancing and alignment services, have your tires rotated with us. We’ll swap them neatly around in a pattern that ensures uniform wear patterns and longer-lasting tires.
Check Your Tire Pressure
One of the most damaging things for tires is to drive with over- or under-inflation. This also increases your risk of skids and collisions.
It’s important to check the air pressure in your tires at least once a month. Learn the optimal PSI as stated in your owner’s manual and make sure each tire is always at that exact level of inflation.
Treat Your Tires More Gently
If you naturally have a more aggressive driving style, you may be putting undue strain on your tires. Harsh braking, cornering, and accelerating all cause tires to wear down more rapidly. Heavier loads and faster speeds also shorten tire longevity, so if possible, lighten the load and drive at a more sedate and patient pace.
