One of your best defenses against icy winter roads is proper tires and tire maintenance. Check out the frequently asked questions below and if you want to know more, stop by DELLA Mitsubishi!

When should I have my new tires installed?

As soon as the temperature drops and stays consistently freezing bring your vehicle into our service center to have your new tires put on.

How important is tire pressure?

Extremely. The wrong tire pressure can cost you gas mileage and safety! Tires lose pressure as the temperature drops, so be sure to check them at least once a month.

How should I store my tires when I’m not using them?

Indoors, in a clean, cool and dark location. Direct sunlight and sources of heat can damage the tires making them useless the next time you need them.

What should I do before a trip?

Plan your route and check the road conditions before leaving the house. Be sure to have emergency phone numbers ready to go and your cell phone charged. And lastly, check all your fluid.
