6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other

objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air

leak.

7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or

other irregularities.

Tire and wheel alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your

vehicle to become misaligned or damage to your tires. If your vehicle

seems to pull to one side, vibrate or shake when you’re driving, the

wheels may be out of alignment. Have a qualified technician at a Ford or

Lincoln/Mercury dealer check the wheel alignment periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front or the rear can cause uneven and rapid

treadwear of your tires and should be corrected by a qualified technician

at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer. Front wheel drive (FWD) vehicles,

and those with independent front suspension require alignment of all

four wheels.

The tires should also be balanced periodically. An unbalanced tire and

wheel assembly may result in irregular tire wear.

Tire rotation

Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the

Scheduled Maintenance Guide that comes with your vehicle) will help

your tires wear more evenly providing better tire performance and longer

tire life. Unless otherwise specified, rotate the tires approximately every

8,000 km (5,000 miles).
