2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Tires in Brownsburg, IN

For this model year, the manufacturer's published schedule calls for rotating the wheels and tires every 10,000 miles. Service history and tire wear can also affect when an inspection is useful. Regular rotation helps identify uneven wear before it becomes more pronounced.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
• Have tread depth checked on all four tires.
• Ask for an inspection if wear or vibration appears.

The rotation pattern is determined by the vehicle and the tires fitted. The inspection also helps determine whether rotation is appropriate or whether replacement should be recommended. Schedule service for an assessment based on the tires currently on the vehicle.

• Four-tire tread-depth measurement.
• Rotation based on the specified requirements.
• Pressure adjustment and monitoring-system reset.

The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 is rear-wheel drive, and that drivetrain affects how the tires are evaluated for rotation. Directional tread and staggered fitments can change the pattern, making the tires actually fitted an important part of the decision. A technician can identify the appropriate movement during inspection.

• Drivetrain affects the rotation requirements.
• Directional tread can limit tire movement.
• Staggered fitments can change the applicable pattern.

A two-wheel-drive vehicle does not automatically require all four tires at once, but replacing tires in pairs may be appropriate when wear differs between axles. The inspection should compare tread depth and condition across the set. The vehicle's service history and the tires currently fitted also help determine the recommendation.

• Compare tread depth across all four tires.
• Check for uneven wear or visible damage.
• Use the inspection to decide between rotation, pairing, or replacement.

Drivers may first notice uneven wear across the set or vibration at highway speed. A tread-depth indicator moulded into the tire can show when the tread has worn to its limit, and a penny test can provide a general check. A professional inspection can evaluate all four tires together.

• Look for tread-wear indicators level with the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
• Request tread-depth measurements on all four tires.

Booking tire service gets the tread depth measured on all four tires and the tires rotated or replacement recommended based on what the inspection finds.
