Is it necessary to rotate the tires?

Proper tire rotation is a critical aspect of maintaining your Ford vehicle's performance and ensuring safety. Regular rotation helps promote even tire wear, which in turn contributes to better handling, improved fuel efficiency, and significantly extends the lifespan of your tires.

It is recommended to rotate your tires at the intervals specified in your vehicle's owner's manual. Before performing a rotation, inspect your tires for any signs of uneven wear; if detected, it is advisable to have your vehicle's alignment checked by an authorized Ford dealer.

Please note that dissimilar spare wheel and tire assemblies are designed for temporary use only and must never be included in your regular tire rotation pattern.

Following the tire rotation, it is essential to check and adjust the inflation pressure of all tires to the levels specified for your vehicle.

If your vehicle's tire label indicates different recommended pressures for the front and rear tires and is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), you must perform the system reset procedure after rotating the tires. Failure to reset the TPMS may prevent the system from providing a low tire pressure warning when necessary, potentially impacting safety.

Always follow the correct tire rotation diagram specific to your vehicle model. For detailed instructions tailored to your Ford vehicle, please consult your owner's manual or contact your local authorized Ford Dealer.
