Your vehicle's tires are the foundation for safe driving, ride quality, and smooth handling. Tires are a major investment and, with proper maintenance, can have a lifespan that can withstand long road trips, wet weather, and harsh road conditions. The fall is the perfect time to give your tires a little love before it gets too cold in Denver. Checking your tires now can prevent needing to replace them soon into the future. Below are three tire maintenance tips to consider during the fall.
TIRE PRESSURE
Maintaining tire pressure is pretty simple and should be included in your monthly routine. If your tires are overinflated, they'll wear faster and increase your risk of a tire blow out. In comparison, underinflated tires can become unseated due to harsh vehicle maneuvers causing a lack of control. Underinflated tires also wear out quickly, causing more stops for repairs. The tire pressure is located in your vehicle's user manual or inside the door jam on the driver's door. A quick visit to the gas station will allow you to check your tire pressure and fill them up if needed.
TIRE ALIGNMENT
A tire alignment keeps all of your tires driving in the same direction. Driving over speed bumps and potholes can knock your tires out of alignment. This is equivalent to your feet walking in two different directions. This fall would be the perfect time to have the alignment inspected and adjusted before winter to ensure they're at their best.
TIRE BALANCE
A tire balance service allows a professional technician to check the weight distribution of your tires. If the tires are unbalanced, small lead weights may be added to the rim to disperse the weight evenly. A tire balance prevents the tires from vibrating and improves the quality of the drive.

It's race weekend here. Did you know:

* The first road course in Watkins Glen was crafted by Cornell University law student Cameron Argetsinger via public roads through the village in 1948. Argetsinger had nowhere to race his sports car and convinced the Chamber of Commerce of the Village of Watkins Glen to host the first post-World War II street race in America on the 6.6-mile circuit.

*The course we know today was constructed in 1956 and opened in 1957, its first major event being a NASCAR Grand National (now Cup) Series race on Aug. 4 won by Buck Baker. The series returned in 1964 (Billy Wade) and in 1965 (Marvin Panch) but didn’t come back again until 1986.

* The Inner Loop section was added to the course’s backstretch in 1992, lengthening the track from 2.3 miles to 2.45 miles.

*The course was completely repaved in 2016, eliminating concrete patches that had previously dotted the track

Summer Car Care Tip : Get your oil and oil filter changed. This is particularly important if your last oil change was awhile ago, because intense weather conditions of any kind (wet, hot, or cold) can put extra demands on your oil and oil filter. Your oil works to keep your engine parts lubricated while the filter works to capture harmful debris, dirt, and metal fragments that have finagled their way into the oil system. A clean filter means more material gets picked up. More material getting picked up means cleaner oil. Cleaner oil means a healthier, happier engine!
