Don't let this happen to you and sideline your summer plans!
Loading up the family car or pulling a boat? Check your owner’s manual for load capacity and consider consulting a tire professional for advice. There are many variable when pulling a trailer. Trailers require a special tire and should not use a car tire or it can be very dangerous. Trailer tires need to be maintained and monitored with age. A tire that sits long periods of time especially in sun can age very quickly.
Adirondack Tire stocks trailer tires, truck tires and specialty tires in addition to passenger tires. Understanding how different speed ratings affect tire performance and how a stiffer trailer tire will perform differently than a car (passenger) tire can be the best can be best explained by a trained professional. Remember when tires heat up so does the pressure in the tires. If the tires are not properly maintained or the proper tires on not on your vehicle or trailer, you are more likely to run into tire blow-outs and possible accidents. Don’t let your summer be side-lined by tire problems. Enjoy your summer.

It's tire check time!
Avoid unnecessary or premature tire wear by having your tires rotated every 6,000 and have a trained professional check your wheel alignment.

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.
