Fall is the right time to start thinking about tires
September 12 2022,
It's time to start thinking about tires. In addition to thinking about winter tires, it's also a good time to make sure your current tires didn't take too much abuse over the summer. While winter is probably the last thing you want to think about right now, our job is to help, and we have compiled a few tips regarding your tires that unfortunately do include something about the cold weather ahead that's coming up.
Our goal is to help you prepare which means:
- Making sure your summer tires are ready for colder temperatures
- Ensuring that your summer tires are still in good condition to provide the necessary safety you need on wet roads
- Help you make sure that you have plenty of winter tires to choose from when winter arrives
- Help you get the appointment you want to install your winter tires
With that in mind, here are a few tips.
Check the condition of your summer tires
Fall is the perfect time to check your summer tires. As the temperature drops, the rubber hardens, which can affect the stability and traction of your summer vehicle. The upcoming colder weather and wet roads may pose a danger if your summer tires are not in good condition or are not properly inflated. Check your summer tires now to see if they are still in good condition!
Winter tires should be in your thoughts... somewhere
In recent years, the market for a wide range of products has been impacted and supply has been affected as well. As we approach December, we expect a small shortage of winter tires once again on the tire market. Now is a great time to start considering replacing your winter tires so you have the most options available to you.
Check to see if your wheels are still in good condition
It's also a great time to begin thinking about your winter wheels and to check the condition of your summer wheels. Now is a good time to have your summer wheels repaired if they were damaged this summer. As with winter tires, it's a good time to start thinking about winter wheels as well.
Lastly, we recommend you schedule your appointment early to have your winter tires installed!
