Monthly Tire inspections
In just ten minutes a month, you can be sure your tires are ready to hit the roads of Lake Oswego and beyond. These monthly inspections can help you catch small problems before they turn into bigger issues with bigger repair bills.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, we still recommend checking your tire pressure manually. Try to wait a few hours after you last drove the vehicle before you attempt to get a reading. Do your tires need air? If so, gradually add air until they reach the proper level.
Next, inspect your tires for signs of wear. This could include gashes, embedded objects, or uneven wear patterns. If you notice uneven wear patterns, it could be a warning sign of overinflated tires, misaligned wheels, or suspension issues.
How to Check BMW Tire Tread
If you are not sure how to check BMW tire tread, don’t worry. All you need is a penny.
- Place your penny into a tread groove upside down.
- Look at the part of the penny that is showing. Is the top of Lincoln’s head visible? If so, your tires do not have a safe level of tread depth and they should be replaced as soon as possible.
- Repeat the penny test on all tires and in several locations on each tire.
