2017 Ford Taurus Tires in Braintree, MA

Many owners have rotation performed alongside an oil change or at each service visit so tire wear can be reviewed regularly. The appropriate timing can also depend on what an inspection finds and the vehicle's service history.

• Measure tread depth on all four tires.
• Check for uneven wear across the set.
• Rotate according to the manufacturer-specified pattern.

The inspection helps identify uneven wear and visible signs that may affect tire performance. A recommendation to rotate or replace tires is based on what the service team finds during the inspection.

• Tread depth measurement on all four tires.
• Rotation in the manufacturer's specified pattern.
• Pressure setting and monitoring-system reset.

The pattern should follow the manufacturer’s specification for the vehicle. Directional tread and staggered fitments can change the appropriate movement, so the tires actually fitted must be confirmed before rotation.

• Confirm whether the Taurus is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
• Inspect the tire tread design before moving tires.
• Check whether the fitment is staggered.

On the all-wheel-drive model, mismatched tread depth can load the driveline, so matching tread condition across all four tires is particularly important. A front-wheel-drive model may have different replacement considerations. An inspection and the vehicle's service history determine the recommendation.

• Compare tread depth across all four tires.
• Look for uneven wear or visible damage.
• Confirm the drivetrain before replacing fewer than four.

Uneven tread wear and vibration at highway speed are additional reasons to arrange a tire inspection. Tread condition should be checked on all four tires because different corners can wear at different rates.

• Check whether a moulded tread indicator meets the tread surface.
• Use a penny test as a basic visual check.
• Have uneven wear or vibration professionally assessed.
