  • Tyres: They are the ones that will assure the grip of your Mercury Milan on the road, the softer they are, the more grip you have, but the faster they get broken, the harder they are, the less grip you have, but the more resistant they are. Temperature impacts their wear. Their size will as well play on grip, the wider they are the more contact with the ground will be significant.
  • The center of gravity: The higher your car is going to be, the more it will lean in the corners and therefore lose handling, that’s why low profile sports cars grip better than very high 4×4’s
  • Wheel Alignment: This adjustment allows you to control the vertical angle of your car’s wheels, it is therefore necessary for the grip of your motor vehicle and the wear of your tires. This adjustment is very precise and must be carried out by professionals.
