Keeping Your Tires Safe in any Weather

Driving around our community in the winter season can often prove challenging due to inclement weather. Before heading out in Marysville or Bellingham during the winter, be sure to follow these crucial tire safety tips:

• Check Tire Pressure Frequently: The pressure in your tires can influence a variety of crucial parts, including the wheels, alignment, suspension, and steering. Your owner's manual should come with a tire pressure checking tool, which is also available on the air pumps at many service stations.
• Check Tire Tread: The grooves of your tires, or their "tread" play the most essential role in preventing the buildup of snow, ice, and rain which can lead to "hydroplaning." Each tire should have treadwear indicators letting you know if their tread falls below safe levels. You can verify this by placing a copper penny in one of the largest grooves to see if Lincoln's head is mostly visible, which is a clear sign your tire should be replaced. Tire tread at 2/32-inch or lower is considered unsafe.
• Schedule Tire Rotation: A ire rotation is the best way to ensure all your tires wear down evenly and retain as much traction for as long as possible. You should have your tires rotated between every 5,000-8,000 miles and have the alignment balance checked by a professional.
• Ensure Proper Tire Size: There are two ways to find out what size tires your car needs. You can check the sides of the tires themselves, which should list their size and recommended pressure. This information can also be found in the owner's manual.
