One thing we always want to make sure that people know about is the importance of their vehicle's tires. While you might think these trusty pieces of technology are one of the least advanced parts of your vehicle, you'd be wrong! Tire technology has drastically changed over the past ten years, and staying aware of those changes will help you keep your vehicle in the best shape it can be. Driving will wear down your vehicle's treads no matter how careful you are while driving, so it's important for you to take steps to make sure they're still usable. We believe it's our responsibility among BMW dealers near Tampa to inform people about tire awareness! To check tread depth and wear, get started by parking your vehicle in a place with adequate lighting. Next, you'll want to use an easily-purchasable tread depth gauge so you can see the accurate reading for how your treads are doing. You can also use the "penny test" which is when you put a penny into the tire grooves with Lincoln's head facing down. If you see the top of Lincoln's head, your tires are at 2/32 in or less of remaining tread, which means you need to change them as soon as possible! The treads are the part of the tire that grips the road and can lead to loss of contact and handling while driving, especially during treacherous conditions like rain, snow, and sleet.

We don't want you to worry! Come by Fields BMW Lakeland and we'll get things started for you about replacing those tires. Besides that, you'll want to have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. For replacing tires, it will depend on how often you drive and your general driving behavior behind the wheel. No matter what your driving style and frequency is like, we'll make sure that things go well if you're looking for BMW service in Tampa! Our tire center is directly set up so you can get replacement tires anytime you'd like. It just makes good sense for you to buy from a BMW Service Center, as BMW engineers perform rigorous tests on their products to ensure superior performance.

With all that in mind, it's clear that coming to Fields BMW Lakeland is your best bet for proper tire maintenance. We love to meet new customers, so come join us at 4285 Lakeland Park Drive for your next vehicle expedition. We eagerly await your arrival!
