BMW Tire Maintenance

2023 BMW X3

Your tires are one of the most important components of your vehicle, but they often do not get the attention that they deserve. Many Miami drivers ignore their tires until they get a notification from their TPMS system, but staying on top of tire care is extremely important. In this guide to BMW tire maintenance, we explore how to check BMW tire tread, when to rotate tires, and BMW tire PSI recommendations. 

Your Monthly Tire Inspection

We recommend inspecting your tires at least once a month so that you can catch any issues early on. This inspection can be completed in approximately 10 minutes, so it’s quick and easy to ensure your tires are ready for the roads of Hollywood and beyond. 

First, start by checking your tire pressure, even though most vehicles now have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Always check tire pressure when tires are “cold,” as tires heat up as you drive and you could get an inaccurate reading. If your tires need air, inflate them to the correct pressure. 

Next, check for wear. Look for gashes, embedded objects, and uneven wear patterns. Uneven wear patterns could indicate issues like overinflated tires, misaligned wheels, or suspension problems. 

How to Check BMW Tire Tread

The last step of your monthly tire inspection is to check the tread depth. Not sure how to check BMW tire tread? All you need is a penny! Simply follow the steps below. 

  • Place your penny into a tread groove upside down. 
  • Examine the part of the penny that’s showing. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it means your tires do not have enough tread depth. 
  • Repeat the penny test on all tires and in several locations on each tire. 

Tire Care Schedule 

Don’t forget about these important services as well: 

  • Rotate and Balance Tires – Every 5,000 to 7,000 miles 
  • Wheel Alignment – Every 7,000 miles

BMW Tire PSI Guide

The recommended BMW tire pressure is around 32 PSI for most models. However, this varies based on the model you drive and the tires your vehicle has. This is why we always recommend taking a look at your owner’s manual for exact figures. You may also be able to find this information on the sticker located on the inside edge of your driver’s door.
