Chevy Tire Tips

Palatine winters can be arduous for most people and we get to spend the majority of winter indoors. Now, imagine how harsh winter can be for your car. Constantly outside, sliding through sloppy roads, bouncing through potholes and always cold. Those words don’t just matter for your car. They also matter for your tires.

Every Palatine Chevy driver knows that winter can be brutal on your tires. Tires are the one part of your car that is always in contact with the road and they’re the easiest part of your Chevy truck, car or SUV to overlook. Martin Chevy near Palatine has some advice for you to keep your tires healthy.

• Check the tread with a penny. If you can see all of Abe Lincoln’s hair, you need new tires.
• Check tire pressure. Tires lose 1 PSI for every 10 degrees of weather.
• Check tires for any nicks or damage.
• Rotate tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
• Check alignment after rolling over a big pothole on Palatine Road.
• Check for uneven wear patterns. Tires should wear evenly. Uneven wear indicates poor alignment.
