At Sexton Ford, your vehicle’s safety and performance are our priorities. Tires provide grip, stability, and control and are essential for traction, handling, and your vehicles overall performance. However, they wear out over time and need to be regularly inspected and maintained. Drivers in Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, and the surrounding Quad Cities rely on our expertise to ensure their tires are safe, durable, and suited to their driving needs.

Inspect Your Tread Regularly
Tread depth affects traction and stopping distance on wet, icy, and uneven roads. Low tread can reduce control and increase the risk of accidents. A simple way to check is the penny test: insert a penny head-first into the tire groove. If Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time to replace your tires.
Regular tread inspections protect your vehicle and ensure a smooth, stable ride on city streets and highways throughout the Quad Cities.
Monitor Ride Quality
Changes in the way your vehicle rides can indicate tire issues. Vibrations, shaking, or uneven handling often point to worn or unbalanced tires. These issues can affect comfort and control. Sexton Ford’s trained technicians can quickly assess your tires and recommend the right solution to restore optimal performance.
Look for Cracks, Cuts, and Damage
Sidewall cracks, cuts, and other visible damage compromise tire integrity. Damaged tires are more prone to leaks and failure. A careful inspection of your tires can reveal early warning signs, preventing costly repairs or accidents down the road.
Watch for Bulges and Blisters
Bulges or blisters on the tire surface indicate structural weaknesses. Driving on tires with these issues increases the risk of blowouts, especially at highway speeds. Immediate inspection and replacement are essential to maintain safety and vehicle performance.
Maintain Proper Tire Pressure
Correct tire pressure is essential for handling, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Tires that require frequent air checks may have a slow leak. Refer to your Ford owner’s manual for the recommended PSI, and check pressure regularly to maintain performance on roads around Moline, East Moline, and Rock Island.
