Don’t Skip Tire Service at BMW of El Cajon

Your tires are meant to withstand even the harshest conditions. However, even the best of the best need a little TLC every now and then. Regular BMW tire service at BMW of El Cajon can not only keep your tires safe and reliable but can even increase their lifespan, too.

Rotating Your Tires

One of the most important elements of tire maintenance is rotating your tires. During a rotation, each of your tires is removed from your vehicle and switched to a new spot. This can help keep your tires from wearing unevenly. Experts recommend you rotate your tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Checking Your Tread

Another important part of servicing your tires is inspecting their tread. Your tire’s tread depth should be at least 2/32 of an inch. Many experts now recommend your tires be at least 4/32 of an inch.

Unsure if your tires are adequate? Place a quarter, with the top of Washington’s head down, into your tread crevice. If the top of his head isn’t covered, your tires have become too bare.

Tire Replacement

Tire replacement is also part of tire service. After all, tires aren’t made to last forever. In fact, tires are designed to be replaced every six years. You should certainly never have a set for longer than ten years

Here are some other signs that your tires should be replaced.

• Frequent low pressure
• Cracks
• Shaking or vibrating
• Excessive use
• Improper tires for your weather or road conditions
