A flat tire is one of the most frustrating things that can happen when you’re on the road. It’s inconvenient, and it can leave you stranded in a dangerous spot. Sometimes these incidents can’t be prevented, but if you maintain your tires and replace them when they’re worn, you can minimize the likelihood of a flat. How can you tell when it’s time for new tires from your Ford dealer? There are several signs to watch for.

Signs You Need New Tires From Your Ford Dealer

You Notice a Change in the Way Your Vehicle Handles

If your vehicle seems to have less traction on wet roads, making it more difficult to maneuver, the treads on your tires may be wearing thin. As the treads wear, the grooves on your tires become shallow, and it becomes difficult for your vehicle to grip the road and push through puddles of water.

Vibrations when your car is in motion, especially vibrations that seem to be coming from under the seats, are another sign that you may be due for a new set of tires. As a general rule of thumb, if you start to notice new vibrations of any type that consistently appear when your car is being driven, it’s time to have a mechanic inspect your tires.

Your Ford is a valuable investment, and regular servicing and maintenance will keep it in great condition for many years to come. These are some of the many services that your Newnan, GA, Ford dealership has available for you.

Radiator Repairs

Your radiator’s purpose is to remove excess heat from your engine to prevent your engine from overheating. Coolant is pumped through the engine, and it absorbs heat emanating from the hot engine components. This heat is locked inside the coolant and transported to the radiator. Inside the radiator, the heat is removed from the coolant by heat exchange, and the coolant circulates through your engine again.

A radiator is subject to constant high pressure and extreme heat. Coolant flowing into the radiator can easily exceed temperatures of 300 F. As time passes, the heat and pressure can cause cracks in the radiator, damaged radiator hoses, or blockages in the radiator tubes. Our technicians can repair any radiator damage and flush the radiator to remove blockages or debris buildup.
