6 common questions answered
How often should the tires on a 2017 Ford Explorer be rotated?Most owners have the tires rotated alongside an oil change or at every service visit, with the manufacturer’s schedule for this vehicle settling the timing.
The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for rotating or adjusting air pressure for the wheels and tires every 10,000 miles. Regular inspections can also identify uneven wear between scheduled visits.
- Measure tread on all four tires.
- Check for uneven wear across the set.
- Rotate according to the applicable vehicle and tire requirements.
What is included in tire service on a 2017 Ford Explorer?Tire service includes tread-depth measurement on all four tires, rotation, pressure adjustment to the vehicle placard, and a tire pressure monitoring system reset.
The rotation follows the pattern the manufacturer specifies for the vehicle. After the inspection, the recommendation may be rotation or replacement based on the tire condition found during the appointment.
- Measure every tire’s tread condition.
- Rotate the tires as appropriate.
- Set pressure and reset the monitoring system.
Which rotation pattern does a 2017 Ford Explorer use?The rotation pattern follows the drivetrain and the tires fitted to the 2017 Ford Explorer, and the applicable setup should be confirmed during service.
The vehicle information does not establish a drivetrain designation. Directional tread and staggered fitments can change the correct pattern, so the tires actually fitted to the vehicle matter before rotation is performed.
- Confirm the vehicle’s drivetrain configuration.
- Check whether the tread is directional.
- Check whether the fitment is staggered.
Does a 2017 Ford Explorer need all four tires replaced at the same time?Whether all four tires should be replaced together depends on the drivetrain, tread-depth difference, and condition of the tires actually fitted.
On an all-wheel-drive vehicle, mismatched tread depth can load the driveline, which is why replacement decisions can differ from those for a two-wheel-drive vehicle. An inspection and the vehicle’s service history help determine the appropriate recommendation for this 2017 Ford Explorer.
- Compare tread depth across all four tires.
- Inspect for uneven wear or damage.
- Consider the drivetrain and service history.
How do I know when the tires on a 2017 Ford Explorer need replacing?Tires may need replacement when the tread-wear indicator is level with the tread, a penny test indicates excessive wear, or inspection finds uneven wear or other damage.
Drivers may first notice tread wearing unevenly, vibration at highway speed, or a tread-depth indicator showing level with the tread. Measuring all four tires gives a clearer basis for deciding between rotation and replacement.
- Look for a tread-wear indicator level with the tread.
- Use the penny test as a general check.
- Have all four tires inspected together.
