As winter approaches, it's vital not to overlook the importance of tire maintenance. Cold temperatures lead to the contraction of air molecules in your tires, resulting in reduced tire pressure and potential driving challenges. Let's tackle this winter pressure drop to ensure optimal performance and safety.

How to Adjust Tire Pressure in Colder Weather:

Check Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure:

Begin by identifying the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Refer to your Lincoln owner's manual or the sticker inside your driver's door jamb. Keep in mind that this recommendation may vary if you have aftermarket tires.

Use a Quality Tire Pressure Gauge:

Equip yourself with a reliable tire pressure gauge, whether digital or analog, to ensure precision. Each tire, including the spare, should undergo individual pressure checks.

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:

Cold weather can affect tire pressure, so monitor it regularly, especially after significant temperature fluctuations. A brief weekly check ensures your tires stay in top condition. Consider more frequent inspections in areas with drastic temperature changes.

Where To Pump Your Tires:

Many gas stations provide free or low-cost air pumps for quick tire inflation. Keep spare change on hand for any charges. Alternatively, consider investing in a portable air compressor for convenient tire inflation in your garage or driveway.

Remember, having the proper tire pressure during winter is crucial for safe driving. Follow these guidelines to confidently navigate winter roads. If you have any questions, visit our Lincoln dealership – we're here to assist you in driving with confidence in freezing conditions.
