Whether you visit Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Owings Mills and purchase a Dodge minivan, Chrysler sedan, RAM truck, or Jeep Cherokee near Westminster, MD, one thing is true: taking care of your tires is key to ensuring you roll smoothly and safely in whichever vehicle you’re behind the wheel of.  We’re all about giving our customers the knowledge they need for a terrific ownership experience, so here are some tire tips to keep in mind.

Inflating your tires correctly can make a big difference in terms of not only ride quality, but also tire wear.  With proper inflation, your car accelerates, handles, corners, and grips the road to an optimum degree.  However, incorrect inflation can hamper your vehicle’s performance and cause problems with the tires themselves.  For example, if you over-inflate your tires, they’ll bulge in the middle, meaning that the middle will wear out sooner than the sides.  And if you under-inflate your tires, the sides will bear the brunt of road wear and burn out faster than the middle.  Both scenarios can cost you at the pump, since your car will need to work harder to overcome these deficiencies.  And left unattended, such unnatural wear patterns could make it dangerous to drive, especially in bad weather conditions.

Choosing the right tires makes a big difference too.  There are lots of different tire types available, ranging from all-weather and snow tires to performance tires and run-flat tires.  Depending on the vehicle you drive, the roads you drive on, and the weather you drive in, one tire type might be preferred over another.  When you visit our showroom to buy a new vehicle, perhaps a superb 2016 Jeep vehicle near Baltimore, MD, our in-the-know team will help you choose the right tires and ensure you’re rolling right!
