Tires that are not properly inflated are unsafe to drive on. They also cause the engine to burn more fuel. Not only that, underinflated tires wear out faster. Overinflated tires cause just as much trouble. When a tire has too much air it, it makes a bumpy road feel very rough. Overinflated tires exaggerate potholes and rutted roads. You can test your tire pressure at home with a tire gauge. The best time to check the levels is when the tires are cold. The reading is not as accurate if the tires have been heating up on the road. The PSI (pounds per square inch) or pressure level is stamped on the driver’s door jam and in the owner’s manual. When it is time for new tires, make an appointment with our service department at BMW Fresno conveniently located in Fresno, CA. Our service members will help you select the best tire for your driving conditions.

Rotating your tires is highly important. That is why our team here at BMW Fresno want to ensure that you know the basics. Your tires need to be rotated frequently because they tend to wear in an uneven manner. This can be a result of either the way you drive or the type of vehicle you have. For instance, an AWD vehicle will have very different tire wear than a RWD vehicle. Experts agree that in order to get the most out of your tires you should have them rotated every five to six thousand miles. This ensures that either the front or the back or one side doesn’t wear faster than the other. If you would like to schedule a tire rotation with us or need any other work done on your car, feel free to give us a call or stop on by BMW Fresno, serving the Fresno, CA area today!
