The car shopping experience throws numerous choices at you. From color, to trim, to even model and brand, the possibilities are endless for you when it comes to getting a new car.

If you notice your vehicles’ tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) going off more during the winter, it’s probably because air contracts when it’s cold. This causes the pressure within your car’s tires to drop between one to two PSI for every 10 degree drop in the temperature. These kinds of things are important to measure because as it gets colder, you could potentially see your TPMS light illuminate more and more as the seasons go on.

It’s important to keep in mind the life and effectiveness of your vehicle’s tires as well as keeping up with regular maintenance. Oftentimes, tire maintenance is seen as just getting new tires when the time comes. But there are services that allow you to extend the life of your current tires which can save you time and money. These methods include rotating and balancing your tires. In this blog, we at Patrick Dealer Group outline what exactly goes into rotating and balancing tires and the importance of both services.
