Stay Safe This Winter: Tire Care Tips for the New Year

As we settle into the winter season, safety on the road becomes more critical than ever. January’s cold temperatures and unpredictable weather can challenge even the most seasoned drivers. At Border Tire, we’re here to help ensure your fleet is ready for anything this winter brings.

Why Winter Tire Care Matters

Winter conditions like icy roads and low temperatures significantly impact your tires’ performance. Maintaining optimal tire pressure, tread depth, and alignment are crucial to improving traction, fuel efficiency, and safety during colder months.

Top Winter Tire Maintenance Tips

1. Check Tire Pressure Regularly

Check Tire Pressure Regularly Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop quickly, which affects handling and fuel efficiency. Use a pressure gauge weekly to ensure your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels.

2. Inspect Tread Depth:

Worn tires reduce traction on slippery roads. Ensure your treads are at least 4/32 of an inch deep for maximum grip in wet or icy conditions.

3. Schedule Regular Alignments

Misaligned tires can cause uneven wear and reduce tire lifespan. Proper alignment also helps your fleet handle better during sudden stops or turns on slick roads.

4. Rotate Tires Frequently

Rotating your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles helps ensure even wear, giving you better performance and extending the life of your tires.

5. Consider Retread Tires

Retread tires are a sustainable, cost-effective solution for maintaining your fleet during winter. At Border Tire, we provide high-quality retreads designed for optimal performance and durability.
