When Is It Time For New Tires?

Mercedes-Benz of Burlington Tire Guide

Your Mercedes-Benz is engineered for performance, safety, and luxury.. And your tires are a big part of that equation. Whether you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz C-Class through downtown Boston, or navigating New England winters in a GLA SUV, or taking your GLE or GLS on weekend trips north of Woburn or Lowell, the right tires make all the difference.

At Mercedes-Benz of Burlington, we know tire questions come up often. Some of the commonly asked question that we get are; “When do I need new tires?” or “What type of tires does my Mercedes-Benz need?” Here’s everything you need to know to keep your vehicle performing its best on Greater Boston, MA area roads.

How to Tell When You Need New Tires

Even the best tires wear down over time. The general rule of thumb is to check your tread depth and tire age:

• Tread Depth. If your tread is below 2/32 of an inch, it’s time for replacement. An easy test? Insert a penny into your tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you can see all of his head, the tread is too low.
• Uneven Wear. If one tire is wearing faster than the others, it could signal alignment or suspension issues.
• Cracks, Bulges, or Vibration. If you notice visible damage or feel shaking while driving through Lexington, Billerica, or Waltham, don’t wait. Schedule a tire inspection right away. You can easily schedule service online at our Greater Boston, MA Mercedes-Benz dealership. We service all of these areas.

Even if your tires look fine, most manufacturers recommend replacing them every six years, regardless of mileage.

Choosing the Right Tires for Your Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are precision-engineered, and that includes the tires they ride on. The brand partners with top tire manufacturers like Continental®, Michelin®, Pirelli,® and Bridgestone® to design tires that meet exact performance standards.

Here’s a quick breakdown of common Mercedes-Benz tire types:

All-Season Tires

Perfect for year-round driving in Greater Boston, these tires balance performance, comfort, and traction for most conditions.

Performance Tires
