There’s no such thing as being over-prepared for winter driving. Road conditions can be unpredictable, and the weather can change quickly. Keeping up with regularly scheduled maintenance tasks is important all year long. But in winter, there are a few additional things to be mindful of. Here are some expert winter car caretips to ensure you’re comfortable behind the wheel every day.
If you have all-season tires, check your tire pressure and alignment for optimal performance. Consider whether snow tires are a wise idea for your driving style and habits. Snow tires offer a distinctive tread design that helps push water, slush and snow out of the way to improve traction. The rubber used in snow tires is also engineered for cold weather purposes, improving its responsiveness and reliability.
Cold weather makes your battery work harder. Have your auto technician test your battery to see whether it has enough capacity to withstand low temperatures. It’s much easier to replace a battery on your timetable than suddenly finding yourself stranded away from home because the car won’t start.
Not only is winter weather tough to drive in because of heavy rain, snow and sleet, but the road spray from other drivers on wet streets constantly coats your windshield. Replacing your windshield wipers with high-performance models designed to push away wintry precipitation and grime can improve your safety by maximizing your visibility.
