🛞 Tires & Wheels — Only Grip You Have
Four hand-sized contact patches handle all braking, turning and acceleration. Pressure + tread = safety.
Must-knows
- Pressure monthly — door jamb sticker, not tire sidewall
- Rotate 5k–7k mi for even wear
- Penny test: all of Lincoln's head = replace
- DOT date: 4 digits = week/year, >6yr replace
- Winter <45°F: winters stop 30% shorter
Read a tire: 205/55R16 91V
- 205 = width mm
- 55 = sidewall %
- R16 = 16" wheel
- 91V = load + speed rating
