Ford Explorer Tire Care Tips

Your tires can really take a beating over time, as they come in direct contact with the road every time you drive. Plus, if you're driving in tougher conditions like extreme heat, or on uneven roads, your tires might wear out faster than you expect. Be sure to keep an eye on your tires and refill the air if they start to appear flat. You should also check on the treads, and replace your tires when the treads get low to maintain proper traction. Avoid slamming on the brakes whenever you can, as this can cause unnecessary strain on your tires. Lastly, consider switching to snow tires or all-weather tires if you drive in snowy conditions, as this will help them stand up to the elements better. 

Keeping your car clean is a basic way to keep it in good condition. Of course, mechanical maintenance is highly important, but there's also something to be said for keeping your car looking its best! For example, take some time out to make cleaning your car part of your routine. If you regularly wipe down the surfaces in your car, and vacuum the floors, you can easily avoid staining, which will keep your car looking its best. Cleaning also has practical purposes! If you wash your car, you can remove things like sap or salt that could potentially damage the exterior. 

Routine maintenance really forms the foundation of your overall car care. If you want to keep your Ford Explorer running its best over time, then making maintenance part of your routine is essential! You can start with the most frequent maintenance services, like oil changes and tire rotations. By making these part of your routine, you are giving certified mechanics ample opportunity to see your vehicle, and nip potential problems in the bud. You can also ask us about any potential maintenance needs for specific Ford Explorer. Other routine maintenance services to keep an eye on are fluid refills, brake service, and battery service.

If you want to protect your Ford Explorer from the elements, then you can opt for some of the many protective accessories that Ford has available! For example, you can add seat covers or premium floor mats to your car's interior, which can reduce the wear and tear on your interior surfaces. This is ideal if you have pets, and want to keep fur off the seats and floor, or if you simply want to extend the longevity of your vehicle. You can also use a sun screen on the windshield to keep the sun's rays from fading or overheating your interior while parked!
