Keep Your Tires Road-Ready This Winter
Winter driving conditions can be challenging, and your tires play a crucial role in keeping you safe. Follow these essential maintenance tips to prepare for winter weather.
Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly
Cold temperatures cause tire pressure to drop about 1 PSI for every 10-degree decrease. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Properly inflated tires improve traction and fuel economy.
Inspect Tread Depth
Winter conditions require adequate tread depth for proper grip on snow and ice. If your tires are worn, consider switching to winter tires for enhanced safety and performance in severe weather.
Rotate Your Tires
Regular tire rotation promotes even wear and extends tire life. We recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, or as specified in your vehicle owner manual.
Consider Winter Tires
If you live in an area with severe winter weather, dedicated winter tires can significantly improve safety. They are made with special rubber compounds that remain flexible in cold temperatures and feature tread patterns designed for snow and ice.
