Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we compiled a small list of tips to help maintain your vehicle's performance. We hope to give you the confidence you need when driving, especially during the harsh snowy winters here on Long Island. How to Get The Most Out of Your Tires Tip #1 Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles. This will help your tires wear evenly. Tip #2 Keep your vehicle's tire pressure at the recommended level. Low tire pressure can cause your tires to wear and lose grip on wet, rainy surfaces. Take a look at your owner’s manual for the recommended PSI for your tires. Tip #3 Check your vehicles tire pressure on a regular basis. Checking at least once a month will help maintain your vehicle's performance. We also suggest checking your tires pressure before a long road trip. Tip #4 It is extremely important to check your tires tread depth regularly. A simple way to check tread depth is by inserting a quarter upside down into the tire groove. If you can see above Washington’s head, you need to replace your tires. If you are unsure about the condition of your tires, we recommend seeing a professional. Staffed with a highly trained team and a Tire Center located in our dealership, we will help you find the tires that best suit your vehicle and your needs.

It is crucial to make sure your tires are in good condition during the winter season. Your tires give you the ability to grip the road, make safe turns, and stop in a safe amount of time. Your safety depends a whole lot on the condition of your tires. Tips to Maintain Your Tires There are a few ways you can maintain your tires. We suggest keeping your tire pressure at the recommended level which can be found in your vehicles owner’s manual. Be aware that cooler temperatures will change your tire pressure. Low tire pressure can cause your tires to lose their grip on damp, rainy surfaces. Another helpful tip we recommend is checking your tires tread wear. When your tire treads are worn, your vehicle is not able to handle weather conditions like rain and snow. Worn tire treads make it difficult for your vehicle to grip the road. Regardless of tread wear, many vehicle manufacturers recommend the average driver to replace their tires after 6-10 years. However, you should check the manufacturer’s recommendations on your specific tires. Although there are many ways to check your tires at home, we highly recommend seeing a professional. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown we offer many vehicle services including tire inspections. With a Tire Center located in our dealership, we can help you find the best tires for your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Stocked with all major brands including Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Pirelli and much more, our highly trained technicians will assist you in finding what you are looking for. The best way to prepare your Mercedes-Benz vehicle for the harsh snowy winter is to utilize our Mercedes-Benz Service Center that is right here in Smithtown, NY! Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take advantage of our service specials and parts specials. Be sure to also check out our Express Service where no appointment is needed.
