As winter approaches, it's important not to overlook the importance of checking your tires. Cold temperatures cause air molecules to contract, leading to decreased tire pressure and potential driving challenges. Let's address 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 finding the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Consult your Lincoln owner's manual or the sticker inside your driver's door jamb. Note that this recommendation may not apply 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 accuracy. 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 changes. A brief weekly checkup keeps your tires in good condition. Consider more frequent inspections in regions with significant temperature fluctuations.

Where To Pump Your Tires:

Plenty of gas stations offer free or low-cost air pumps for quick tire top-ups. Keep spare change on hand for any fees. Alternatively, consider investing in a portable air compressor for convenient tire inflation in your garage or driveway.

Remember, maintaining proper tire pressure in winter is crucial for safe driving. Follow these steps to confidently navigate winter roads. For any questions, visit our Lincoln dealership – we're here to help you drive with confidence in freezing conditions.
