Today, the crew at Gurley-Leep Lincoln wants to help our community better understand why the summer tires are a better choice for your vehicle as the weather warms.

The summer tires have fewer grooves compared to the amount in the all-season tires. When there are less grooves, there is more tread on the road.

Lincoln first introduced their compact premium SUV, the MKC, at an auto show in 2013. It remains a popular choice in its class due in part to the roominess and luxury the Lincoln MKC offers. There are many design features provided by Lincoln. Ambient lighting and auto folding power mirrors are among the details included in the MKC.

Since the timing belt is a part of the car that is responsible for the proper operation of the motor, there are a few signs that you should pay attention to if you think that it's failing. One of the first things that you'll notice is a ticking or whining sound coming from the motor. While this could be one of the other belts, it's often the timing belt.

How do you know when time is up for your car battery? Batteries don't have a timer that ticks down to determine shelf life.
