Winter driving can bring a lot of uncertainty. Excessive amounts of snow, hidden ice patches, and frigid temperatures all impact Wisconsin drivers. Fortunately, there are several ways to protect your tires and vehicle during the winter months. Ensuring your tires are in good condition is an important way to help ensure you’ll be safe on the roads this winter. Here are 4 tire services to get before winter conditions impact the roads:

Tire Rotation

Vehicle owners should get a tire rotation approximately every 4,000-6,000 miles, and many people choose to get their tires rotated during their regular oil change. Regular tire rotations promote a safe and comfortable ride, but they also help keep your vehicle safe to drive. Tire rotations maintain traction with the road, help prevent tire failure, improve your vehicle’s performance, enhance fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your tires. A few signs that your vehicle requires tire rotation services are uneven tread wear, uncharacteristic vehicle vibration, loss of air pressure, and poor fuel economy.

Tire Balancing

Along with tire rotations, tire balancing helps to prolong the life of your tires and also improves the safety and performance of your vehicle. Without regular tire balancing services, the driver risks a lack of control of the vehicle. A few signs that your vehicle requires tire balancing are uncharacteristic vibrating while steering, uneven tread wear, a less-than-smooth ride, and vehicle pulling to one side. Getting your tires balanced before winter helps promote safe driving; you’ll have a smoother driving experience, increased fuel efficiency, more even tread wear, and your tires will have a longer life.

Tire Repair

Driving around with damaged tires is incredibly dangerous any time of year, especially during the winter months. If one or more of your tires are losing air faster than usual, take your car into your local tire shop to determine the issue. Your tires should be inspected by an experienced auto technician, who will check your tire pressure, tread depth & wear, and balance of your tires. Our auto technicians near Somerset also will thoroughly check for punctures that may be causing the loss of air. Tire repair can often restore your tires to help ensure they are in accordance with industry standards. 

Get New Tires

While it is always good when tires can be properly repaired, sometimes it just isn’t possible and you need to get new tires. Certain tires have specific repair limits, and other times damage to a tire just isn’t able to be repaired properly. Punctures that are greater than a fourth of an inch, overlapping repairs, patching (by itself), and a puncture located in the sidewall or outside the tread cannot be repaired, and therefore getting new tires is the best option.
