Ford F-150 Tire Service Tampa

Your Ford F-150's tires are the key to its performance. For example, all-terrain tires offer a balance of on- and off-road capabilities, while highway tires prioritize fuel efficiency and a smooth ride. Mud-terrain tires provide exceptional traction for extreme off-road adventures. To ensure optimal performance and safety, consider your truck's primary use and consult your owner's manual. At Bill Currie Ford in Tampa, our tire experts can help you select the perfect tires for your needs, whether for daily commuting or weekend off-roading.

Keeping your tires in top shape is essential for the safety and performance of your F-150. To maintain optimal tire health, conduct a monthly inspection, paying close attention to tread depth, tire surface for damage, and air pressure. Ensure the pressure matches Ford's recommendation, or you can ask one of our friendly technicians, usually found on a sticker in the driver's door jamb or owner's manual. If you notice any irregularities, such as uneven wear or damage, consult the tire experts at Bill Currie Ford for professional advice and potential replacement recommendations.

You should check your tire pressure monthly, including the spare. The recommended pressure is usually on a sticker inside your driver's door jamb or in your owner's manual. But fear not. Your Ford F-150 likely has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This system works through a network of sensors embedded within the valve stems of each tire. These sensors continuously monitor the air pressure inside the tires. When the pressure drops below a certain threshold, the sensors transmit a radio signal to a receiver in your vehicle. This receiver processes the information and alerts you through a dashboard warning light or a specific message on the instrument cluster. By alerting you to low tire pressure, the TPMS helps improve fuel efficiency, enhance vehicle handling, and, most importantly, increase safety. 

Yes, your truck's tires can definitely expire. Even if they still have plenty of treads left, tires can degrade over time due to exposure to the elements, such as heat, cold, and sunlight. This can lead to cracking, hardening, and a loss of flexibility, significantly impacting their performance and safety. Look for the DOT code on the sidewall to determine your tire's age. The last four digits of the code indicate the week and year of manufacture. For instance, "3221" means the tire was made in the 32nd week of 2021. Our technicians recommend replacing your F-150's tires after 6-10 years is generally recommended, even if they still have tread.
