Cold Weather Tire Pressure: Staying Safe on the Road

The Importance of Proper Tire Pressure in Cold Weather

We here in Wichita have been struggling with extreme winter weather. And the freezing, drizzly rain and snow has resulted in a number of weather related accidents.  So, it has become clear that as temperatures drop, maintaining the proper cold weather tire pressure is even more critical for your safety and your vehicle’s performance. Because cold weather causes the air in your tires to contract, leading to lower tire pressure. For example, for every 10°F decrease in temperature, your tires can lose about 1 PSI (pound per square inch) of pressure. Given this, the experts at Tracy’s Tire Pros review why keeping your tires properly inflated during winter is essential and how to ensure your tires are at the right pressure.
