Tires are among the most important safety components on every vehicle. In fact, if you drive on worn tires, it can take you up to 10 times longer to stop than fresh tires do.
Since your Mercedes-Benz is a high-end, fine-tuned vehicle, you want to use only the finest Mercedes-Benz tires. Learn more about tires and tire care now!
What Do I Do When the Tire Pressure Light Comes on?
The Tire Pressure Light indicates an inflation issue with one of your tires. When the light comes on, you should pull over or get to a gas station to find the problem. Usually, it indicates that the tire is just low, and you can pump some air into it. If the light is still on after inflating the tire, there may be a small hole somewhere, and we recommend coming in for an inspection.
Does It Matter What Kind of Tires I Use?
Not all tires are created equal, and they’re not all up to the quality that your Mercedes-Benz deserves. Don’t roll the dice and risk getting subpar tires. Consult a professional Mercedes-Benz mechanic so you get the best tires for your vehicle.
How Do I Know When It’s Time to Replace My Tires?
As long as you bring your Mercedes-Benz to our local dealership for routine maintenance, our service team will carefully check your tires and let you know when they need to be replaced. Most often, tires require replacement every five to six years, or very 50,000 miles or so.
However, if your tires exhibit abnormal wear and tear, for instance, you might need new tires sooner than planned. Other signs to look out for:
- The Tire Pressure Warning Light is on.
- Your car takes longer to stop when you hit the brake.
- The ride isn’t as smooth and comfortable as it usually is.
- Your tires exhibit visible damage.
Should I Service My Tires for the Winter?
It’s always a good idea to winterize your vehicle—including your tires. Winter tires increase the grip on the road since their tread pattern is designed to combat ice and snow. Your local Mercedes-Benz service center can provide the best winter tires for your particular year, make, and model.
Can I Bring My Mercedes-Benz Anywhere for Tire Service?
Your Mercedes-Benz takes good care of you. And the best place to bring it for service is your local Mercedes-Benz dealership. Don’t just trust anyone to service your tires or put new tires on your luxury car. Trust the experts at Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills.
It doesn’t matter if you bought your Mercedes-Benz from our dealership, or if you drive a new or pre-owned model. We’re here to keep you and your vehicle safely on the road. And that starts with safe tires!
