2014 Ford Focus Tires

Regular visits create an opportunity to check all four tires before uneven wear becomes more pronounced. The actual tires fitted and the vehicle's service history can also affect the recommendation. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg can inspect the set and advise on the next service.

• Rotation helps distribute front-wheel-drive wear.
• All four tires should be checked during the visit.
• Service history helps guide the next recommendation.

The inspection identifies uneven wear and helps determine whether rotation or replacement should be recommended. A tread-depth indicator level with the tread, highway-speed vibration, or a failed penny test warrants closer attention. The tires actually fitted determine the final recommendation.

• Tread depth is measured at all four corners.
• The rotation follows the specified service pattern.
• Pressure and monitoring-system status are addressed.

Because the front tires steer and deliver engine power, their wear should be considered when selecting the pattern. Directional tread and staggered fitments can change how tires may be moved, so the pattern is confirmed from the tires actually fitted. The manufacturer-specified pattern for this vehicle is followed during service.

• Front-wheel drive places important work on the front tires.
• Directional tread can limit permitted tire movement.
• Staggered fitments can change the rotation approach.

Two-wheel-drive vehicles do not have the same all-four replacement concern as all-wheel-drive vehicles, where mismatched tread depth can load the driveline. Even so, replacing only some tires requires attention to wear differences and how the set performs together. An inspection determines the appropriate recommendation.

• Compare tread wear across all four tires.
• Check for uneven wear and vibration.
• Consider the condition of the remaining tires.

Those signs do not identify the cause by themselves, so the tires should be examined as a set. Tread depth measurement helps determine the condition at each corner, while the actual tire construction and service history help shape the recommendation. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg can review what the inspection finds.

• Look for tread wearing unevenly across the set.
• Check whether a tread indicator meets the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
