Winter Driving Tire Tips from NEA Auto Insurance
Cold, wet weather can affect your tires and their performance. As the weather turns, check these tips to get the most out of your tire’s performance.
· Check the tires when they are cold, and use a quality gauge to get the most accurate reading. The tires will heat up while driving and actually increase pressure.
· Never use just two snow tires – this can be worse than no snow tires at all. If the snow tires are put on just the front of a front-wheel drive car, the combination can cause over-steering or fishtailing.
· All-season or all-terrain tires may not be the best tire to have on the car for all road conditions, especially if snow and ice is severe. In this situation, snow tires may be your best choice.
