When it comes to driving in Maryland during the snowy winter months, we all know that the colder temperatures and wet conditions can really affect your daily commute, weekend adventures, and more! With a few simple tests and inspections, you can ensure that your car is ready to handle what old man winter throws its way.
For starters, we recommend doing a few simple tasks to inspect your tires. With the anticipated rain, snow, sleet, and ice, it’s more important than ever that your tires are operating at peak performance. First thing to understand is that the air temperature can and will affect the air pressure of your tires. We recommend regularly checking the PSI of your tires to make sure that it is in the correct range. Driving with under- or over-inflated tires will decrease their effectiveness and increase your chance of getting a flat or blown tire. Secondly, we advise that you check your tires’ tread depths. You want to make sure that the tread grooves are deep enough to dig through any precipitation so that they can grip the road surface.
If you have any questions about tire care or want to bring
your vehicle in for a tire inspection, don’t hesitate to contact our Honda parts
and service departments to speak to a member of our team and get set up with a
service appointment today!
