Tire Safety

 

  1. Warm up your car in winter before driving.When the outside temperature rapidly drops in winter, letting the car warm up before driving is necessary. Cold weather makesthe engine hard to reach full operating temperature and increases the viscosity of the inside lubricating oil, which causesthe car to idle at over 1000 RPM. It would take 3 to 5 minutes to warm up and wait for the idle speed to decrease to an average range.
  2. Brake early and smoothly on snow days.Drive smoothly is the best way to stay safe on snow and ice-covered roads. Lower temperatures make the road and tires harder.Slamming on your brakes can immediately put you in a skid. Even when you drive down the roads without snow andice, please brake early and smoothly, and gradually letting off the accelerator will help you gain control of the vehicle.
  3. Do not park on wet surfaces on snow days.Your parking choices would make a huge impact on the safety and maintenance of your car and tires in winter. A car can freezeon spots over one night due to the temperature difference between a day and night. Always find dry surfaces whenparking outside to escape tire deformation and tear once it is frozen.
  4. Tips for driving in the rain.Driving in the rain is as dangerous as driving on snow days. For safety, every driver should know the risks. Driving on wet roadcan be hazardous,causing skids, longer braking distance, and lower grip.
