There are so many important ways to ensure your vehicle is ready for winter driving. Parts 1-3 detailed several auto services that can benefit your car such as battery checks, oil changes, tire rotations, and much more that will help keep you and your vehicle safe this winter. Here are 3 more ways to ensure your vehicle is properly prepped for winter driving: 

Keep Your Gas Tank Filled Up

Nobody wants to be stranded on the side of the road because they ran out of fuel. Regularly fueling up is a part of any vehicle owner’s routine, but it’s especially critical during the winter months. It’s recommended to keep your fuel filled up at least halfway during the winter months to avoid problems with your gas tank. The fuel line in your car can freeze if water vapor freezes within the fuel line, which prevents your car’s engine from operating as it should. The gas itself generally freezes at around -100°F (depending on the exact mixture). However, diesel has a higher freezing point so it’s important to be cautious and aware of the status of your fuel tank. Moreover, keeping your fuel at least half full is a good way to help ensure you have enough fuel in case you have an emergency. If you do get stuck on the side of the road, Tire Pros & Wheel Experts offers 24/7 roadside assistance and towing services to help get you out of a miserable situation.

Consider Getting Winter Tires

Your tires are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the ground, so it’s important to ensure they are in proper condition. Always ensure your tire tread is adequate (if it’s not, you’re more susceptible to losing control on wet roads, snow, or ice). Maintaining your tires is critical for safe winter driving. One way to help ensure your tires are ready for winter driving is to invest in snow tires. Snow tires are specifically designed for winter driving by providing better traction and control. This helps the driver stop faster and helps the tires grip the road better to reinforce adequate vehicle control, even in inclement weather. Your local tire shop offers winter tires that can benefit your car in the coldest months.

Get Preventative Auto Maintenance

One great way to ensure your car, truck, or SUV is ready for the winter months is to get professional preventative auto maintenance. Vehicle owners have several things they can do themselves (check out our car care tips) like checking the oil and tire PSI, but getting a professional preventative maintenance service is a great way to help ensure your vehicle is operating exactly as it should be. Nobody wants to deal with car problems, especially in the winter when driving can be hazardous and temperatures can be dangerous. At Tire Pros & Wheel Experts, our preventative maintenance consists of several key services to help ensure optimal operation. We will inspect and replace/flush all fluids, inspect filters, tire balancing and tire rotation, test your battery, inspect belts and hose pipes, run engine diagnostics, and much more to help ensure safe driving this winter.
