Consider Winter Tires
If you know you’re going to be doing a lot of winter driving, specifically in temperatures around or below freezing, you may want to consider switching over to winter tires. Not only are they equipped to deal with the icy and snowy conditions of winter roads, but they’re actually built to maintain pressure, even with fluctuations in temperature. This can mean safer, more efficient driving through the season.
Check Your Tread Depth
Before you hit the road this winter, you want to make sure your vehicle has adequate tread for safe, controlled driving. You can check the depth using a quarter: simply place the quarter between the treads of the tire. If you can see the top of Washington’s head, the tread is too low for safe driving, and the tire will need to be replaced.
Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly
One of the most important steps for winter tire care is tire pressure monitoring. In extreme cold, and with significant temperature fluctuations, tires can lose pressure more easily. That means less driver control, reduced vehicle efficiency, and a higher potential for tire damage and damage to other parts.
Make sure to keep a tire pressure monitor in your vehicle, and fill up as needed through the winter.
