When Should I Replace My Tires?
Tire life varies depending on tire type, mileage, and driving conditions. You should consider replacing them every three to four years. Tires that are worn to where they have less than 2/32" of depth, is a big indicator of lack of traction, which can lead to accidents. Using a penny, check your tread. If you can see Abraham Lincoln's head, the tread is too thin. Other signs include tears and worn spots on your tires.
Will My Warranty Cover My Repairs?
This will depend on your warranty type. Eg, warranty for a brand-new car vs certified-preowned may vary. Your bumper-to-bumper warranty with Ford covers all repairs for up to three years or 36,000 miles from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. You may want to consider an extended warranty to cover the powertrain and other elements of the vehicle after that time period. Ford also offers to finance for repairs through its credit card should an emergency arise and your extended warranty does not cover the cost of all necessary repairs.
