When the
weather gets colder, taking care of your tires becomes a top priority. The
freezing conditions (and yes it does sometimes freeze) conditions can do
terrible things for the health of your tires, and if you’re not careful, the
consequences can be dire. So here are some helpful hints to make sure you are
aware of some simple and helpful things you can do to help keep you
safe.
Get
Your Tires Aligned
When you drive, do you
notice your car start to shift to one side of the road. Has it become a problem
that affects how you drive? If so, you may want to look at aligning your tires.
This will keep your tires running straight and make sure you don’t veer off
into trouble
Keep
Your Tires Properly Inflated
Keeping your tires
filled to the correct levels of air is absolutely critical. The good news is,
most modern cars will let you know automatically when your tire pressure gets
too low. But it’s never a bad idea to visually check the tires and see if the
pressure looks low. You can go to most any gas station to gauge your pressure
and put more air. However, it’s just as important to make sure that your tires
are not inflated with too much air, which should lead to even more serious
problems on the
road.
Get
a Tire Rotation
Some people may not know this,
but when you drive on the same set of tires for awhile, the tires will wear
down differently. So what can you do to help this? The answer is to rotate your
tires from back to front and right to left to make sure the tires wear down
evenly.
You can do this
