As we move into Fall and from the sounds of it, a very cold Winter, Dan’s Tire Service wants you to keep some Winter Road Safety advice in mind.

Various elements of winter make driving more difficult and dangerous than any other time of year. Wintertime means less sunshine and longer periods of darkness and reduced visibility while behind the wheel. Further complicating your commute are icy roads and snow drifts, frozen rainfall, hailstorms, and other unpredictable weather conditions. Therefore, it is important that you adapt your driving to these elements, that your vehicle is well-maintained, and that your tires are safe and reliable.

During other times of year, it is still important to ensure that your vehicle and tires are well-maintained and reliable. Of course, driving can be potentially dangerous and it’s important to follow safe driving practices. Unfortunately, proper tire maintenance is among the most neglected safety functions of driving. The importance of tire maintenance cannot be emphasized enough. A blowout on any major highway or even while driving around other vehicles could lead to a serious accident, paralysis, or even death.

One of the most simple tire maintenance practices includes proper inflation. Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failures and among the leading causes of accidents such as collisions. In addition, the tires being at risk for damage, under inflated tires also are less economical – increasing costs by as much as 3 to 5 cents per gallon.

The experts here at Dan’s Tire Service have the expertise needed to ensure that your vehicle and tires are well-maintained and safe.
