To get your Ford ready for the cooler months and difficult conditions, now is the time to book a service appointment at Skaha Ford.

Here are four things you should do to be prepared:

 
Install Winter Tires
Winter tires feature special rubber compounds that are designed to provide better grip and traction when the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius. The result is improved acceleration, handling and braking abilities on slick surfaces.

Check Your Tire Pressure 
Colder temperatures impact tire pressure, so it’s important to test the pressure with a tire gauge regularly to ensure the correct PSI. Low pressure impacts your fuel economy, but also your safety.

Replace Your Wiper Blades
You should change your wiper blades for new ones to ensure they can effectively clear ice and snow from your windshield. You want your wipers to be in top form for your safety and optimal visibility.

Change Your Oil
If your Ford is overdue for an oil change, book a service appointment before wintertime. Dirt and grime build up in old engine oil, which thickens in colder temperatures and impedes flow. This can harm your engine and impact performance.

If it’s been a few years (or never), grab a toonie and follow these steps from Skaha Ford in BC to see if it’s time to replace your winter tires.

Checking the tread depth only takes a few seconds:

 
• Place the toonie in between the tread blocks.
• If the tread reaches the bear’s paws, your tires have a safe amount of rubber remaining.
• If the silver part of the coin is covered by the tread block, your tires are 50 percent worn and now is a good time to shop around for a replacement.
• If the tread reaches the “Canada” or “Dollars” lettering, your tires are worn and must be replaced immediately.

Driving with winter tires without sufficient tread depth is unsafe and not recommended. Your Ford will not only lack grip but your braking distance and vehicle control will be impaired. To ensure the safety of yourself, your passengers and fellow drivers, replace worn winter tires for optimal performance in wet, icy and snowy conditions.

Now is a great time to visit Skaha Ford in BC. Our Service Department is currently offering a Winter Performance Package, which offers brand-name winter tires at competitive prices. If your rubber is due for replacement, our experts will help you select the right tire for your Ford to keep you secure on Penticton’s roads.
