2018 Ford Fusion Tires

The manufacturer-published schedule for this model year calls for wheel and tire rotation every 10,000 miles. Service history and tire wear can also affect what should happen next. An inspection confirms whether the tires are wearing evenly.

• Rotation helps even out corner-to-corner wear.
• Tread depth should be measured on all four tires.
• The tire pressure monitoring system is reset after pressure is set.

The inspection also helps determine whether rotation is suitable or replacement should be recommended. Uneven wear, highway-speed vibration, or a worn tread indicator should be discussed during the visit. The tires actually fitted determine the appropriate rotation placement.

• All four tires are checked for tread condition.
• Rotation follows the vehicle and tire requirements.
• Recommendations are based on what the inspection finds.

Directional tread and staggered fitments can change the appropriate pattern, so a specific pattern should not be assumed without inspecting the tires. The manufacturer-specified approach is used for the vehicle. David McDavid Ford can evaluate the fitted tires and rotate them accordingly.

• Drivetrain affects how tire positions are changed.
• Directional tread can limit tire movement between sides.
• Staggered fitments can limit movement between axles.

An inspection determines whether one tire, an axle pair, or the complete set is the appropriate recommendation. On an all-wheel-drive vehicle, mismatched tread depth can load the driveline, which is why replacement decisions differ from those for a two-wheel-drive vehicle. The drivetrain configuration for this vehicle should be confirmed during inspection.

• Tread depth is measured on all four tires.
• Uneven wear can affect the replacement recommendation.
• The tires actually fitted are part of the evaluation.

Drivers may first notice uneven wear across the set or vibration at highway speed. A failed penny test is another checkable warning sign, but an in-person inspection determines the recommendation. Schedule tire service if the tread-wear indicator is level with the tread or the vehicle's tire behavior changes.

• Check for uneven tread wear across the tire.
• Watch for vibration at highway speed.
• Look for a tread-depth indicator level with the tread.
