We don't always think about tires as much as we should. The truth is that tires are the only real contact our vehicles have with the roads of Fairfax, VA and beyond, making them quite possibly the most important thing on our cars!
The old adage is to stick a penny in the center tread of your tires. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, then your tire(s) is ready for replacement. What if I told you that your tires should actually be replaced before that point? In reality, tires should be replaced at 4/32" of an inch as opposed to the 2/32" that the penny test measures. Your tires may ok in dry weather from passing the penny test but may not perform well enough to avoid an accident in poor weather conditions.
Thankfully there are plenty of mechanics available at BMW of Fairfax that are ready to assist you with all your tire needs! Schedule maintenance today.
