Types of Services That Help Your Tires Last

We put our tires through a lot every day. However, with routine Mercedes-Benz service at Keyes European, you can easily increase your tires’ lifespan.  

Routine Tire Rotations  

Tire rotations include exchanging your tires’ positions on your vehicle. If they aren’t rotated regularly, particular tires will take on more of the driving force than others. This causes them to wear unevenly.

With uneven wear, your tires are more likely to go flat. As a general guideline, we recommend you rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, although it depends on your tires and your particular vehicle.  

Check Your Tire Pressure 

Low tire pressure is more harmful to your tires than you may realize. When your tires aren’t properly inflated, they have more rolling resistance. This causes drag, which diminishes your vehicle’s performance as well as your fuel efficiency.

On the other hand, an overinflated tire can also cause premature wear. Overinflation will also reduce your tread life, so make sure you keep your tires at the recommended PSI. You can check your owner’s manual to see the ideal PSI for your luxury car or SUV.

Tire Inspection 

While it may seem trivial, one of the best ways you can help your tires last is to simply check them out regularly. It’s important to look for any usual wear and tear. Do your tires have cracks or bulges? Have you noticed that your tire pressure seems to be consistently low? If you spot issues early on, you may be able to simply repair your tires rather than have to buy a replacement.
