Proper tire pressure for safety

Have you ever heard someone tell you that you don't need winter tires, you only need to lower the tire pressure...on your tires you now have when driving on snow and ice? That it will give you better stability and control? I hope you haven't because it is a crock.

Driving on tires with low tire pressure is never a good idea regardless of driving conditions. Don't try this old myth because it may cost you a wrecker bill to get pulled out of the ditch when you lose control because of it.

Instead, you should consider a good set of winter tires. And remember to check your tire pressure often because cold air can lower the pressure.
