What Does the MINI Cooper Tire Pressure Light Mean? 

If the tire pressure light is illuminated on your dash, it indicates that your MINI Cooper tire pressure is low. If you have confirmed that your MINI Cooper tires are properly inflated, there could be an issue with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). You should schedule service at MINI of Escondido. Our certified technicians can diagnose exactly what the problem is and get you safely back on the road. 

When Do I Need New MINI Cooper Tires?

An easy way to find out if you need new MINI Cooper tires is the penny test. Place a penny between the treads of your car’s tires. If the top of Lincoln’s head is visible, the treads are worn and the tire needs replaced. If part of Lincoln’s head is covered, your tire still has more than 2/32 of an inch of tread depth. Other signs to look for include: 

• Cracked sidewalls 
• Blisters on the tire’s surface 
• Shaking even on smooth driving surfaces 
• Uneven tire wear 

Note that keeping up to date with your tire rotation schedule will help to promote even tread wear and extend the life of your MINI Cooper tires.
