The best way to be prepared for the winter ahead is to, well, prepare! Be proactive with your car maintenance and repairs, because there are few things worse than being stuck out on the road in the cold. So replace those worn old wiper blades! Top off your fluids and check on your antifreeze! And, don't forget to swap our your summer tires for some freeze-appropriate wheels!
But, Lithia Toyota of Redding, I have all-season tires! you may exclaim. But, did you know that winter tires can actually out-perform all-seasons even on perfectly dry roads? It's true! Check out this neat video to see a comprehensive animation of the difference between these two types of tires.
It might come as a bit of a surprise! But, whereas all-season tires are expected to be able to perform well in FOUR seasons, winter tires are engineered specifically to operate in cold and freezing temperatures regardless of wet or dry surface.
Thinking about upgrading to a good set of winter tires? Whether you need to swap tires that you already own, or you need to buy new tires, you can trust the service center at Lithia Toyota of Redding to get the work done!
