Tires are essential to keeping you on the road in more ways than you might think... Worn tread can cause hydroplaning and can force you off the road. Wear down a tire enough and you'll begin to expose the inner side-walls making it harder to change, and low grip can lead to sliding on slightly wet roads or roads with even a little amount of rocks and sand.
Inspect your tires for any tread issues, and have the alignment checked by a technician especially before a long road trip. Your wheels and trim also need attention –
After driving on roads that have been treated throughout the winter, or if you find yourself driving on a slightly dust coated road, it’s a good idea to clean the tires with mild soap and water and dry them with a soft cloth. Make sure you don’t use an abrasive cleaner on the chrome of your rims!
