A BMW I8 recently received a couple of new tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car was brought to HomeTowne Auto Repair & Tire after its Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light turned on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tread depth of the BMW\u2019s rear tires was below 2\/32 of an inch, which is the minimum specification for the Virginia Safety Inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you should be replacing tires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A manufacturer might suggest that you get new tires when the tread depth reaches 3\/32 of an inch to 5\/32 of an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you drive a BMW and are in need of tire repair services, we may be able to repair them, depending on the injury and its location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HomeTowne Auto Repair doesn\u2019t just repair tires. We also sell tires, including Michelin, BFGoodrich and Uniroyal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tire installation process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before replacing tires on a vehicle, our technicians make sure that they have the correct tires and that they don\u2019t have any punctures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, they use a tire machine to separate the tire from the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tire paste is used to prevent a tire from tearing as it goes on or comes off the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, our technicians balance the tires, place them on the vehicle, and twerk them to the correct specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When getting new tires, it\u2019s a good idea to have a wheel alignment performed. We also suggest road hazard warranty for the tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
