At Wagner Kia of Shrewsbury, we strive to leave our readers informed vehicle owners, and helping them be prepared for winter driving is important. Some of the most important tasks you need to stay on top of in winter to keep your car in good condition are checking tire pressure and maintaining a full tank of gas.
Your tires lose up to one pound per square inch of tire pressure each time the temperature drops 10 degrees. Tires lose air pressure at a faster rate in winter. Thus, you should regularly check your tire pressure. Underinflated tires can cause accidents, so don't delay in filling them with air. Maintaining a full gas tank in winter is important because water can freeze inside the fuel pump. Additionally, if you were to get stuck while you're out, a full tank of gas keeps you warm while you wait.
Remember to be more diligent about your car's tire pressure and gasoline whenever winter comes. It will keep you safer on the road.
