A Quick Guide To Your Tires
When you get behind the wheel, you put a lot of confidence in your tires. Your four tires are your only points of contact with the road, so it is important that they are operating well. Here are a few things you should consider about your tires.
- Type: So that your tires can grip the road in the inclement weather your area faces, it is important you have the right type. For example, snow tires can help you maintain traction on icy roads.
- Pressure: If your tires are under or overinflated, you could be in danger and may not be getting the best gas mileage. Since air pressures will change as temperatures change, it is important to check your psi each season to ensure it still matches the recommended psi printed in your owner’s manual.
- Tread: Without the right tread depth, you lose traction. To ensure your tread is not too worn, grab a penny. If the top of the tread cannot reach the top of Lincoln’s head when the penny is inserted upside down, it is time for new tires.
Another way to ensure you have a safe ride is to review your Texas auto insurance. To talk with an insurance expert about the coverage you need, contact VGW Walker Insurance.
