The new Ford EcoSport combines reliability and fuel efficiency in the small package of a compact SUV. If you want the capabilities of an SUV that can take on the open road, but you do not want to sacrifice fuel efficiency, the EcoSport is the answer. You might be wondering how Ford achieves this.

Every tire you see has numbers and letters on the sidewall. What most people don’t know is that these numbers reveal information about the size, model and brand of the tire. As such, the U.S. Department of Transportation requires all tires to have these markings as standard.

So naturally, drivers want to do everything that they can to maximize the lifespan of that tire tread. One of the simplest and most important things that you can do to help get the most out of your tires is to keep the air pressure in them at the recommended levels.
