Fall Tire Maintenance:
Stay Safe on the Road with Border Tire
As fall sets in and temperatures begin to drop, it’s time to start thinking about how seasonal changes affect your tires. For commercial drivers and fleet managers, tire performance is a top priority, and fall presents unique challenges that shouldn’t be overlooked. At Border Tire, we understand the critical role tires play in keeping your vehicles—and your business—on the road.
How Fall Weather Impacts Tire Performance
As the weather cools, tire pressure can drop, leading to underinflated tires. Low tire pressure not only impacts fuel efficiency but can also compromise safety, causing reduced traction and uneven wear. Additionally, wet roads from autumn rains can affect handling and stopping distance. Now is the perfect time to check your tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition to ensure your fleet is ready for the changing weather.
Fall Tire Maintenance Tips
- Check Tire Pressure Regularly: Tires lose pressure more quickly in cooler weather, so be sure to check them weekly to avoid underinflation.
- Inspect Tread Depth: Worn treads reduce traction, especially on wet or slick roads. Check your tread depth regularly to ensure maximum grip and control.
- Rotate Your Tires: Rotating your tires regularly helps prevent uneven wear and extends the life of your tires. Fall is an excellent time to get this done if you haven’t already.
- Examine for Cracks and Bulges: Cold weather can cause minor damage to worsen. Look for any cracks, bulges, or other signs of wear that could lead to tire failure.
- Consider Retreads: If your tires are showing signs of wear, consider retreading. It’s a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to extend the life of your tires.
