Mercury tyre change
Ford closed the Mercury brand in 2011, but the Grand Marquis was once a familiar sight in the Gulf, and well-kept examples are still on UAE roads. It is a body-on-frame, rear-wheel drive sedan that uses 225/60 R16 on most later cars. Because it is heavy and soft, worn or underinflated tyres make it wander at highway speed.

The Mountaineer was the Mercury version of the Ford Explorer and uses 245/65 R17, 235/65 R18 or 255/50 R20 on V8 Premier models. The Milan and Mariner share their underpinnings with the Ford Fusion and Escape. Ford sizes help keep these older cars on the road, and the first step is always the size printed on the current tyres.
- Tyres on low-mileage classics can age out before they wear out; replace any tyre over six years old.
- The Grand Marquis needs correct pressure to stop it wandering at speed.
- Mountaineer and Mariner sizes match the Ford Explorer and Escape of the same years.
