Winter in Wilkes-Barre, PA brings plenty of road hazards with it. If you want your Toyota car to properly traverse the roads during harsh conditions, it’s important to ensure that your Toyota tires are properly taken care of. The team of certified technicians at MotorWorld Toyota are here to help you get your Toyota vehicle ready for winter by providing you with some tire care tips.
Winter Tires Installation
If you do a lot of driving on unplowed roads or take your Toyota car off-roading during winter, consider switching to winter tires. They are specifically designed to provide better traction in cold and snowy conditions. Winter tires are formulated with special rubber compounds that remain flexible in low temperatures, which ensures optimal grip on icy and snowy roads.
Check Tire Pressure Regularly
Fluctuating temperatures that occur during winter can also cause your tire pressures to change rapidly. Cold weather in particular causes tire pressure to drop, affecting handling and fuel efficiency.
Keep a close eye on the pressure of your tires, ensuring that they’re inflated to the manufacturer’s specifications. Our technicians can help you maintain the right tire pressure for your specific model.
Inspect Tread Depth
Proper tread depth is essential for effective traction on snow and ice. To check the tread, insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it is time for new tires at MotorWorld Toyota.
Alignment Check
Finally, potholes and rough winter roads can wreak havoc on your Toyota wheels. Schedule an alignment check to make sure that your tires wear evenly during winter.
