Goodyear Auto Service and Just Tires want to be the destination to clear up the confusion for consumers unsure what to do when their TPMS light illuminates. Contact your local Goodyear Auto Service or Just Tires location today to discuss tire care checks and TPMS inspections.
Possible causes for the TPMS light illuminating include a tire puncture, leaking tire due to rim damage and fluctuating temperatures as seasons change. Improper tire pressure can lead to uneven treadwear, decreased gas mileage and poor handling.
“Nobody knows tires like Goodyear, and if the TPMS light goes on or you want to know if it’s time to replace your tires, Goodyear Auto Service and Just Tires have the knowledge and expertise to help keep your car performing optimally this winter and beyond,” said Fred Thomas, vice president and general manager, Goodyear Retail.
The study also found that most drivers surveyed are not taking precautionary actions to prepare their cars for winter. Amongst drivers who live in areas with usually cold winters, less than half (42 percent) get their tires checked in advance of the winter season. And almost two in five winter drivers (37 percent) do not take any action at all to prepare their cars for winter unless they have an issue. As a general rule of thumb, drivers should check their tires monthly, especially during temperature shifts of 10 degrees or more.
