Struggling with Holiday Gift Ideas? Why Not New Tires or Wheels?

They really are the gift that keeps on giving. New tires are a necessary part of vehicle maintenance that drivers often will put off until it’s almost too late. In the season of giving, new tires could provide major relief to a friend’s or loved one’s worry over their vehicle safety.

Benefits of New Tires

The importance of installing fresh quality tires cannot be overstated. Having new quality tires significantly improves a driver’s chances of arriving safely at their destination, particularly during the holiday season when conditions are treacherous and long-distance travel is often on the itinerary. What better way to show you care than by giving someone a safer driving experience!

Safer Winter Driving

Many loathe the thought of getting a new set of tires, especially winter tires.  It’s not always convenient, so why not take away the headache from someone this holiday season? Get someone a new set of snow tires and have them mounted so they can be worry-free on winter roads. What they get back for years to come is peace of mind, safety, and an extension of their tires’ lifespan.

Increased Performance and Handling

The distance it takes for your car to come to a stop, or the speed at which you can enter a turn all depends on the quality of your tires. They determine how much power your vehicle can put to the ground, and whether you can brake fast enough to safely control it. One the best benefits of a new set of tires is how they can make someone feel when they drive. New tires with deeper functioning treads and designs are great for long trips because they provide the driver with a smoother ride.

Better Gas Mileage

The condition of a vehicle’s tires can drastically affect gas consumption and a vehicle’s efficiency. If you have a set of worn tires with an uneven tread pattern, gas mileage will suffer as more of a burden is placed on the vehicle to put its power to the ground.

For best results, have new tires properly mounted, balanced and always be sure to inflate them to the proper pressure. Each time you replace worn-out tires, have your vehicle aligned by a professional mechanic. This will ensure that your new tires do not get worn out prematurely and provide you with the best gas mileage possible.

It might not be the most glamorous of holiday gifts, but new tires are a gift that anyone could use. Help someone cross one more thing off their list of things to buy and get them safe, quality tires!
