A Mercedes-Benz Driver’s Guide To Tire Safety

Don’t roll into National Tire Safety Month (or any month), without knowing these top tire safety tips! Tire wear and performance also depends on the driving of each driver, but ensuring you are maintaining your tires w/ routine checks will help tire performance and longevity. 

Don’t Tire Of Routine

Follow these 2 routine tire maintenance tips:  

1. Check Your Tire Pressure –  As tires lose pressure over time, it is best to consistently check your tire pressure. Visit Fletcher Jones Motorcars Service Drive in Newport Beach, CA to have our Team quickly check it for you! (P.S. Check out our Tire PSI Recommendation Guide.)

 

2. Routine Tire Rotations – Ensure all four tires wear evenly by rotating your tires routinely, allowing for a longer lifespan. Details here.
