Preparing Your Tires For The Fall

Autumn is approaching! What does this mean for your tires?

As autumn nears, it is crucial to prepare your vehicle, particularly your Tires! Your Tires are the sole connection between your car and the road, so maintaining them is vital for safety and performance.

  • Inspect Your Tire Tread
    Tire Tread provides traction, and worn tread can pose risks, especially on wet or slippery roads. Use the penny test: place a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the top of his head is visible, it’s time for new Tires!
  • Monitor Tire Pressure
    Cooler temperatures can decrease Tire Pressure, affecting handling and fuel efficiency. Check your Tire Pressure regularly and ensure it matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Rotate and Align Your Tires
    Rotating your Tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles promotes even wear, prolonging their lifespan. If your vehicle veers to one side, an alignment may be necessary to prevent uneven wear and enhance handling.
  • Consider Tire Replacement
    If your Tires are old or worn, think about replacing them before fall arrives. New Tires offer improved traction and safety during changing weather conditions.

Proper Tire Maintenance is essential as autumn approaches. By examining Tread Depth, maintaining proper pressure, Rotating and Aligning Tires, and contemplating replacements, you’ll ensure your vehicle is safe and road-ready!
