1. How do I check my tire’s treads?
One of the biggest signs that it’s time for new tires is if you find out you’ve been driving around with tires that are practically bald. That’s why it’s so important that you understand what we say when we tell you to do the penny test! To perform the penny test, you simply need a penny and your car. You’ll put the penny in head down, and if you can completely see Lincoln’s head, then the treads on your Pacifica’s tires are too worn. If you feel more comfortable with professionals doing this test, our team would love to assist you in making sure that it is indeed time for a new set of tires.
2. Why is my car producing strange vibrations while I’m driving?
If you are experiencing rumbling from underneath your seat, this could potentially mean that your rear tires are not balanced, while that feeling in your steering wheel could indicate a lack of alignment. Our team would love to bring your car in to make sure that your tires are in the best condition possible, in the correct alignment, and completely balanced. This is why we recommend routine maintenance, as it usually avoids situations like this where damage could be done to your tires, along with uneven wear.
3. Should I be worried about extreme heat or cold?
We all know that here in Michigan, we get some pretty extreme weather. Your Pacifica’s tires are not immune to the effects, and that’s why we want to make sure you’re keeping an eye on the tires as often as possible if you’ve been driving in extreme elements. This could potentially cause the rubber of the tires to break down, which leads to cracking on the sides and even separation of the treads. This should be replaced as soon as possible; otherwise, you may experience a blowout.
4. My tire pressure is always fluctuating, do I need new tires?
Have you had to bring your Pacifica in to get the tire pressure fixed? Are you constantly losing pressure? This could be a symptom of tires that are no longer working as they should. Should this be happening to you multiple times, we may recommend getting a new set of tires that won’t give you the same problem. Our team will look at your tires, determine the exact cause, and give you our final diagnosis. Remember, we’re on your side!
