Balding Tire Tread

When you first get tires they have nice, deep tread, but over time that starts to decrease as you go on errands and trips with your BMW. Less tread means less traction, and that can be especially dangerous when it's raining or snowing out. You can keep an eye on your tire tread by using a penny to measure the depth, and our service technicians will always do a tire tread check when you come in for upkeep or maintenance. 

Tire Cupping

As the name suggests, you can tell if you're having this issue if it looks like there are shallow little scoops on your tires. This can happen for two reasons. The first is that your shocks need repair or replacement, as they're causing the tires to literally bounce and create pits when they hit the pavement. The second reason has to do with low-quality tires. While buying tires for a BMW is no inexpensive task, we strongly discourage going with bargain basement tires, as they won't last as long or provide the performance your BMW deserves. 

Changing Seasons

Illinois winters aren't for the faint of heart, and to help keep you, your passengers, and your luxury vehicle safe, you should purchase a good set of winter tires. The tread depth and patterns are meant for snow and slush, and the rubber composition on a winter tire is made for the cooler temps. Once the warmer, snow-free weather returns, we can put your all-seasons or performance tires back on! 

Uneven Wear

As we mentioned earlier, BMW tires do have their associated costs. To help lengthen the life of your tires we'll perform regular tire rotations to help the tires wear evenly, as uneven wear is a natural part of a tire's life. The front and back tires wear differently and rotating them regularly keeps it in check.
