As winter approaches, it may be best for some drivers in Medina to switch to winter tires. They can be helpful during periods of extremely cold weather or during periods of snow or ice on the road. When the temperatures drop, winter tires are less likely to get hard and brittle.

The fluid that is used in your car is likely made from a glycol base if your car has an anti-lock braking system (ABS). If your car doesn't have an ABS system, the fluid will likely be made from a silicone base…

A "little bit" of air in your tires isn't enough. And putting too much air in the tires won't improve them. Review your owner's manual to determine the right amount of tire pressure necessary. Otherwise, you'll discover serious problems emerging.
