Winter Tire Maintenance | Greenville, MS


 Winter has arrived in Greenville, and while Mississippi winters bring less snow and ice than Northern winters, the colder weather will still affect your vehicle, especially its tires. These winter tire maintenance tips will help ensure that your tires remain at peak condition during the coldest part of the year.
 
Monitor your tread
 
Tread will wear down over time, which leads to worse grip, acceleration, braking, and turning. The easiest way to check your tires’ tread depths is to stick an upside-down penny into the grooves; if President Lincoln’s head is entirely visible, it’s time to take your vehicle into James Ceranti Nissan for tire replacement.
 
Monitor tire pressure
 
For every 10-degree decrease in temperature, your vehicle will lose roughly one pound of pressure. Make sure you know your manufacturer-recommended tire PSI, and consistently check your tires to make sure they’re properly inflated. An under-inflated tire leads to worse handling, less stability, and decreased traction.
 
Rotate your tires
 
Rotating your tires helps ease the burden on your front tires, as they take the majority of the impact. Every 6,000 miles is a good checkpoint for a tire rotation; an easy way to remember this is to rotate them at every other oil change.
 
Purchase winter tires
 
Equipping your vehicle with winter tires is one of the best ways to make sure you’re staying safe and secure during the winter months. 45 degrees Fahrenheit is when all-season tires will start losing their grip, possibly endangering you and others, especially if the road conditions are less than ideal. Winter tires bring a 25-50-percent boost in traction as compared to all-season tires. The softer rubber means your tires are more pliable and will maintain more consistent contact with the road, even if there is light ice or snow.
 
Prepare for winter the smart way when you schedule a seasonal checkup, tire rotation, or regular maintenance at James Ceranti Nissan today.
