Ford Bronco Sport Tire Maintenance

Take proactive steps to optimize your Ford Bronco Sport's performance and tire lifespan with regular rotations. Plan to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. This simple practice ensures even tread wear, essential for maintaining balanced traction and responsive handling. Address uneven wear promptly to prevent your vehicle from pulling, maintain effective braking, and ensure your driving safety. Bill Currie Ford's certified technicians offer complete tire maintenance, including rotations, inspections, and pressure checks, to keep your Bronco Sport running smoothly and safely. Schedule your tire rotation today for optimal tire health and a better driving experience.

Your safety on the road in your Ford Bronco Sport depends on healthy tires. Regular tire inspections are crucial for identifying potential hazards early. Carefully examine your tires for wear, bulges, blisters, cracks, punctures, cuts, or any separation in the tread, shoulder, or sidewall. These signs of damage can severely impact your vehicle's handling, braking effectiveness, and overall stability, putting you at risk.

Take a moment to check your Ford Bronco Sport's tire pressure regularly for optimal performance, safety, and tire longevity. It's important to find the recommended PSI in your owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb – this is the target, not the maximum pressure on the tire. Overinflating or underinflating leads to uneven wear, poor grip, wasted fuel, and tire failure. To check, remove the valve stem cap and use a tire pressure gauge to measure the PSI. If it's too high or low, use an air compressor to adjust accordingly, and don't forget to replace the valve cap.

Regularly check your Ford Bronco Sport's tire tread depth for optimal safety and performance. Replace tires when tread reaches less than 3/32 inches, as low tread reduces wet traction and affects handling and braking. Use a tread depth gauge for accuracy. The penny test (Lincoln's head visible = <2/32 inch) and quarter test (tread to Washington's head = 4/32 inch) are quick checks. Inspect multiple areas for uneven wear. When in doubt, schedule a tire assessment with the certified professionals at Bill Currie Ford for expert advice and to ensure your vehicle's safety.

Don't let an old or deflated spare tire leave you stranded. Even if your Ford Bronco Sport's spare is rarely used, it needs regular attention. It's best practice to replace it when you replace your road tires, or at least every six years, regardless of mileage. Spare tires can age, and their structural integrity can weaken over time. They are also prone to losing air pressure, making them useless in the event of a flat. Regularly checking your spare's inflation and looking for any signs of wear or damage is crucial to avoid being caught unprepared in an emergency.

Just a few minutes each month spent inspecting your vehicle's tires can significantly improve your family's safety, unlock your Ford's full performance potential, and save you money by extending tire life.
