1. Check Your Tire Pressure Weekly
One of the things you should make sure you do in any weather, but especially cold weather, is to check your tire pressure on a weekly basis. As the temperatures fluctuate the pressure can change dramatically, dropping as much as a pound of pressure per every 10-degrees of temperature change. Driving on underinflated tires is a big hazard in winter weather, as they can’t hold traction well on slippery surfaces.
2. Keep Gas Tank at Half Full
It’s a good idea to keep your gas tank at half full or more when you’re driving in the winter. In the event of an emergency or if you get stuck and need rescuing, you need to stay warm. This also includes situations like traffic jams, which could be even more stressful if you don’t have fuel in the tank.
3. Add a Protective Polymer Layer
When you’re getting your vehicle washed, get a coat of polymer wax added to it! This will create a protective barrier against road salt, grime, snow, and other aspects of winter. Adding in a high-pressure wash to clean your vehicle and you’ll be well protected against rust and other issues!
