Rotating your tires periodically is an essential part of tire maintenance. The main purpose of regularly rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. Rotate your tires at least every 6,000 miles. However, rotate your tires earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops, and check with us to determine the cause of the wear problem. Remember that a hard impact such as hitting a pothole can cause misalignment, which then causes uneven tire wear.

Alignment is one of the key maintenance factors in getting the most wear and performance from your tires. In addition, wheel alignment provides safe, predictable vehicle control as well as a smooth and comfortable ride that's free of pulling or vibration. Mercedes Benz suspensions require a precise four-wheel alignment that can only be achieved through our modern alignment equipment and factory trained technicians.

Tire balance is critical to receiving satisfactory performance from your tire investment. A tire balance is recommended at every other tire rotation or about every 13,000 miles.

In addition to providing a smooth ride, balancing is a key component in tire wear. Vehicles are being made lighter and lighter, as a result the slightest imbalance (as little as half an ounce) can be felt in most modern vehicles. On plus-sized tires and wheels, balancing is even more critical.

Miles of turning left and right, hitting bumps and holes, and driving down uneven road surfaces lead to uneven tread wear. Besides rotating the tires and getting an alignment to set things right, tires should also be rebalanced. Even if you can't feel vibrations, they are present. The uneven tread wear creates an imbalance that generates excessive heat and wear on your tires. Considering the hundreds of dollars you spent on your tires, a rebalance is a wise expenditure.
