We sell Mercedes-Benz Approved Tires that come with FREE 24-Month Nationwide Road Hazard Protection
Tires are an essential component of your Mercedes-Benz driving
experience. They provide the four points of contact between your
vehicle and the road, and affect acceleration, braking, cornering and
the overall safety of your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz strongly
recommends that all replacement tires meet OEM (original equipment
manufacturer) specifications to ensure that you continue to experience
the superb performance and handling that have been engineered into your
Mercedes-Benz.
A common misconception is that tires are more
expensive at a dealership. The truth is that Mercedes-Benz of Henderson offers competitive pricing on national brand tires---tires designed
specifically for your Mercedes Benz. Every Mercedes-Benz -approved tire is engineered to provide these key benefits:
Traction The
adhesion between the tire and the road is affected by environmental
conditions and driving style. Mercedes-Benz-approved tires are designed
to optimize traction in nearly any condition. Integrity Mercedes-Benz-approved
tires must undergo extensive road testing to validate construction and
confirm ride comfort. Mercedes-Benz works closely with the world's
leading tire manufacturers to specify the best tires for each model. Reliability We
measure reliability by two factors: the ability of the tire to deliver
superior performance in a variety of driving conditions, and its
capacity to deliver Mercedes-Benz performance mile after mile. Endurance The
effective life of your tire depends on tire type, speed rating,
inflation pressure, wheel alignment, and other vehicle and
environmental conditions. To help attain maximum life for your tires,
your Mercedes-Benz dealership will ensure that your tires are properly
aligned, balanced, and rotated. Safety Tires are a critical
component of your vehicle's safety active system. The safety standards
of your Mercedes-Benz vehicle have been precisely engineered, and could
be compromised if you do not have appropriate Mercedes-Benz-approved
tires installed on your vehicle. General Care Tips
Mercedes-Benz of Henderson offers tire inspection, wheel alignment,
tire rotation, and tire balancing all performed by certified
technicians who know your Mercedes-Benz inside and out.
Check
your tire pressure periodically, as improperly inflated tires may
decrease fuel mileage, lead to premature tread wear, and may affect the
overall handling of your vehicle.
Regardless of tread wear,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that your tires and spare be replaced after
six years, because rubber compounds deteriorate over time.
If
your vehicle is "pulling" one way or the other, your wheels may be out
of alignment, which can impact wear and performance. Mercedes-Benz of
Henderson can conduct a four-wheel computerized alignment of the front
and rear suspension.
Have your tires rotated* regularly to help
prevent uneven wear, improper handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and
shortened tire life
Vehicles with staggered-width tires cannot be rotated, but instead require inspection
As tires wear, they can become out of balance, causing vehicle
vibration and accelerated tire wear. When needed, we can
computer-balance all four wheels.
In the first 12 months of Road Hazard Tire Protection, tire replacements
are covered at 100 percent of the replacement cost of the original tire
up to a maximum of $399 per tire. During the second 12 months, coverage
is 50 percent of replacement cost, not to exceed the original purchase
price of the tire. The customer is responsible for any charges over the
100 percent or 50 percent adjustment, such as a sales tax, balancing,
disposal fee, etc.
Disclaimer: *In accordance
with or as otherwise recommended by your tire manufacturer's
instructions. Rotation applies only to vehicles without staggered-width
tires. Vehicles with staggered-width tires require inspection instead
of rotation. Tires should be rotated/inspected at least once between
each service visit. See your Service Manager for details.
