Dealing with Early Snow: How to Keep Your Tires and Vehicle in Top Shape

Dealing with Early Snow: How to Keep Your Tires and Vehicle in Top Shape

As winter approaches, many drivers in Bakersfield, CA, may not expect early snowfall. However, when the first flakes fall, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle is ready for the challenging driving conditions that come with it. At Clerou Tire Co. Inc., we want to help you prepare your vehicle for winter weather to ensure your safety on the road. Here are some essential tips to keep your tires and vehicle in top shape during the snowy season.

1. Invest in Quality Winter Tires

The right tires can make all the difference when navigating snow and ice. Winter tires are designed to provide better traction, handling, and stopping power in cold weather. Look for tires specifically engineered for winter conditions that feature deeper treads and softer rubber compounds to enhance grip.

Tip: Visit Clerou Tire Co. to explore our selection of high-quality winter tires that will keep you safe on slippery roads.

2. Monitor Tire Pressure

Cold temperatures can cause tire pressure to drop, which can affect your vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency. Regularly check your tire pressure to ensure they are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels. Properly inflated tires will enhance traction and reduce the risk of tire blowouts in icy conditions.

Quick Tip: Visit our tire services page for tire pressure checks and adjustments.

3. Keep Your Wipers and Fluid in Check

Clear visibility is vital when driving in snow and rain. Ensure your windshield wipers are in good condition, and replace them if they are worn or ineffective. Additionally, fill your windshield washer reservoir with antifreeze fluid to keep your windshield clean during winter storms.

Service Available: Our auto repair services include wiper replacements and fluid top-offs for winter readiness.

4. Check Your Brakes

Safe braking is essential during winter driving. Have your brakes inspected to ensure they respond effectively in snowy conditions. Look out for any unusual noises or longer stopping distances, as these could indicate that your brake system needs attention.

Reminder: Schedule a brake inspection with us at Clerou Tire Co. to guarantee optimal performance in icy conditions.

5. Maintain Battery Health

Cold weather can put a strain on your vehicle's battery. Have your battery tested to ensure it’s holding a charge effectively. If your battery is older than three years or showing signs of wear, consider a replacement to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Service Available: Our battery services can help ensure your battery is winter-ready.

6. Inspect Fluid Levels

Your vehicle’s fluids play a critical role in its performance, especially in winter. Check the levels of engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. Ensure your antifreeze is at the proper level to prevent freezing in low temperatures.

Pro Tip: Our preventative maintenance services include fluid checks to keep your vehicle operating smoothly all winter long.

7. Prepare an Emergency Kit

While you can take all the precautions, it’s always wise to be prepared for emergencies. Pack an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes essentials such as blankets, a flashlight, extra warm clothing, non-perishable snacks, and a first-aid kit.

Final Note: Being prepared for winter conditions ensures you can handle unexpected challenges. At Clerou Tire Co. Inc. in Bakersfield, CA, we’re here to help you keep your vehicle in excellent shape during the snowy season.
