About Tire Wear
Neglecting your tires can cause premature tire wear, or result in a flat tire or a blowout. There are several tire aspects you'll want to be aware of, and the first is inflation. An over-inflated tire puts the tire's middle section in primary contact with the road, which creates more wear here and less on the edges. Conversely, under inflation will cause the opposite to happen. You'll also want to ensure your wheels are aligned; if they're not, you'll likely notice excessive tread wear on one edge of the tire. If your wheels are out of balance or your shock absorbers/suspension components are failing, it's not uncommon to see what's called erratic tire wear, or "cupping". If while driving your car pulls to one side, that's a sign that your tire(s) could be damaged or underinflated. Another sign is a thumping noise or unusual vibration. In both cases, we encourage you to bring your vehicle to our Parkville, MD Volkswagen dealership.

Tire Buying
As a leading Volkswagen dealer in Maryland, we have the tools and the experience to rotate, repair, and change your VW vehicle's tires. We recommend that you rotate your tires every 5,000 - 7,000 miles to ensure maximum performance. Of course, ever car drives differently, so we ask that you check with one of our service technicians for an estimate tailored to your particular vehicle. We can also assist you with tire balancing, which extends the tires' lifespan by reducing uneven wear, and we can correct any wheel misalignment you may be experiencing. Most tires have a lifespan between 25,000 - 50,000 miles, and a good way to monitor your tires' tread wear is to stick a penny between two of the lowest tread ridges. If no part of Abe Lincoln's head is covered by the tread, it's time for new tires. Remember to buy four new tires at once, and check with our dealership to confirm what tire type you should invest in: all-weather, winter, etc.
