As the only part of the vehicle that makes contact with the road, tire health is extremely important. This is why our BMW tire service in Sherman Oaks, CA provides a range of services. Learn what specific tire care provisions we provide for BMW car owners.
Tire Rotations
Most BMW models require a tire rotation every six months, or every 6,000 to 7,500 miles, whichever one comes first. Rotations ensure tires wear at an even rate. The front tires usually wear faster because they bear the brunt of turning and braking in a front-wheel-drive vehicle. By ensuring the tires wear evenly, you’ll be able to replace the tires as a set and save money in the process.
Tire Retreading
Retreading is the process of refurbishing a tire and replacing worn treads. Retreading is more common in pickup trucks and fleet vehicles. Some residential vehicles, though, may qualify for retreading in lieu of replacing the tire altogether.
Tire Alignment
A tire alignment doesn’t involve any adjustment to the tires or wheels. Rather, it’s an adjustment to the suspension system. The purpose is to ensure all four tires are pointed straight ahead and parallel to one another. Premature tread wear in one or more tires is usually attributed to misalignment.
Tire Balance
Balancing ensures the tire and wheel component are properly fitted, so the components spin smoothly and in sync. Unbalanced tires can lead to vibrations that the driver will feel in the seat and steering wheel. If not repaired, unbalanced tires can lead to other issues, such as premature tire wear and suspension damage.
