As the leaves begin to change and the temperatures drop, it’s crucial to prepare your vehicle for the upcoming fall season. One of the essential aspects of fall car maintenance is ensuring that your tires are in top condition. We offer a range of fall tire services to help keep you safe on the road.
Why Fall Tire Services are Important
Fall brings unique challenges for drivers, including wet leaves, rain, and even early snowfall in some regions. Making sure your tires are properly maintained and serviced can help you navigate these conditions safely. Here are some reasons why fall tire services are crucial:
-
Traction:
Wet leaves and rain-slicked roads can reduce traction, increasing the risk of skidding and accidents. Properly inflated tires with adequate tread depth can improve traction and handling. -
Braking:
As temperatures drop, tire pressure decreases, affecting braking distance. Ensuring your tires are properly inflated can help maintain optimal braking performance. -
Visibility:
Falling leaves and inclement weather can reduce visibility on the road. Worn-out or underinflated tires can compromise your ability to navigate safely in these conditions.

Monitor Tire Pressure:
Check your tire pressure regularly, especially as temperatures fluctuate. Underinflated tires can affect handling and fuel efficiency. -

Reduce your speed and increase following distance in wet or slippery conditions to prevent skidding and accidents. -
