BENEFITS OF WINTER TIRES

Winter Tires are designed to perform optimally in both snowy conditions and cold temperatures, providing the performance and safety you expect. In fact, they’re recommended as soon as average daily temperatures drop below 7°C. For passenger vehicles, they are legally required on some BC highways after October 1st

TIRE PRESSURE

Maintaining optimum tire pressure helps to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. Properly inflated tires can:

• Prevent excessive tread wear and extend the life of your tires
• Enhance handling, traction, and the stopping ability of your vehicle
• Improve fuel economy by reducing friction, and in turn, lower emissions
• Some Toyota vehicles are equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that can alert you to the need to stop and check your tires.

TREAD WEAR

As you drive, tire tread gradually wears away, which impacts both traction and braking time. A simple way to check your tire tread is to insert a quarter into one of the grooves. If you can see the tip of the caribou’s nose, then you many need new tires. Your Heninger Toyota Service Expert can check and record tire tread depth, and examine tires for damage or wear to better determine if new tires are needed.

TIRE ROTATION

Front tires generally wear faster than rear tires, which makes tire rotation an important part of regular tire care.

• Ensures more even wear
• Extends the life of your tires
• Improves braking and handling performance

Tires should be rotated as recommended by your Toyota vehicle maintenance schedule.
