How often should Ford Mondeo tires be replaced?
2 Answers
Ford Mondeo tires should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must have relatively high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. The following points should be noted when replacing car tires: 1. Choose tires with the same specifications as the original ones installed on the car. 2. Replace two tires at the same time, and rebalance each wheel after replacement to ensure uniform mass distribution across all parts. 3. After replacing the tires, the aging cycles of the new tires and the valve stems may differ. Valve stems may develop issues that are not easily noticeable, so it is recommended to replace the valve stems when replacing the tires. 4. If using the original tires provided with the car, follow the manufacturer's installation requirements. If using non-original tires, the side with the production date should generally face outward.
Tire replacement isn't set in stone—it depends on usage. Generally, the Ford Mondeo recommends inspection and replacement every 6 years or 80,000 kilometers, but this should be adjusted based on individual driving habits. I've personally witnessed blowout accidents caused by tire aging, so safety comes first. You should regularly check tread depth—definitely replace if it's below 1.6mm—and look for cracks or bulges. If you frequently drive on highways or rough suburban roads, wear accelerates, possibly requiring replacement as early as 5 years. Glance at tire edges during car washes or buy a depth gauge for self-measurement. Don't wait for accidents to regret—prevention beats repairs any day.
