Every part of your Jeep has a purpose, but one area that often gets forgotten about is your tires.

Here at Dick Scott CDJR, we want to teach you more about your Jeep's tires, as well as some tips for choosing the right set. If you have problems with your tires, head down to our dealership and have our experts check them out by making an appointment today. Now let's check out why your tires are so essential!
Tire Pressure
Make a habit of continually checking your tire pressure, as it can go a long way in improving your driving practice. If your Jeeps tires are under-inflated, they will use up more gas, hurting your Jeeps fuel economy. By the same token, if your tires are over-inflated, it can reduce your handling, which will put you and your vehicle at great risk. Keep in mind that you need to check your tires when they are cold to get the most accurate reading. To properly control your tire pressure, you need to first check what the right amount for your Jeep is. You can use this number to compare with your current set, which you can measure with a tire gauge. If you need to reduce pressure, there are different methods for letting out air safely. If you need more air, you can visit your local gas station.
Other Checks
There are other quick checks that you can do for your tires on a day-to-day basis. If you notice that your tires have an uneven thread, which could indicate that your Jeeps tires need a rebalancing, you need to make an appointment with our experts here at Dick Scott CDJR to get them appropriately aligned to improve your fuel economy and safety. To help avoid alignment issues, it's a good idea to have your tires rotated every so often, which we can also do for you here at Dick Scott CDJR. You should also check for nails or any sharp objects that may have gotten stuck in your wheels. You will need to replace your tires with our experts if you notice a puncture. While this may sound bad, it's better than suffering a blowout on the road.
All-Season vs Winter Tires
You must have the right set of tires for the season. One trap that most Jeep drivers fall into is believing that all-season tires will get you through the entire calendar year. While all-season tires work very well during the spring, summer, and fall months, they are unsafe to use during winter. All-season tires don't grip the road well and can cause an accident, especially if the road is icy. Nothing is more important than your safety when you're behind the wheel, so be sure to switch to winter tires before the end of the fall. Once all of the ice has melted, then you can switch back to the all-season tires.
Get the Right Set
Make sure always to check your Jeep's owner's manual to ensure you get the proper size of tires for your Jeep. Not only can a bad fitting set of tires affect the overall comfort while driving, but it can also be a safety issue. Another bad idea is mixing and matching tires as two separate pairs will move differently when you steer and significantly affect your ability to drive smoothly and safely. Here at Dick Scott CDJR, our experts have been trained on all kinds of Jeep vehicles, so you can be assured you will be getting a good-fitting set. So be sure to make an appointment today!
