Still not sure about how often you should rotate your tires? Or how many kilometres to rotate your tires? Use Mercedes-Benz guides from your local friends at the Mercedes-Benz Brampton service department to learn everything you need to know about when to rotate your tires! We’ll also go over how to rotate your tires, but this is a job for professionals.

Perform the toonie-test if you want to see what your tread depth is for yourself.
Take a two-dollar Canadian coin (a Toonie), and insert the outside edge of the coin into the tread of your tire.
Basic knowledge will tell you that rotating your tires during the correct time interval will extend the life of your tires. Besides that, these are a few more benefits of maintaining a regular tire rotating schedule:
When the hazardous weather hits the Caledon area, you’ll want to be prepared to add tire rotations into your maintenance plan.
