It's easy to forget about your tires or just rely on what came with your vehicle. However, we want to help educate you a bit. Instead of a long essay, we figured it easier to use some professional videos that highlight 3 key points. New Tires vs. Worn Tires How much difference does it make? Let's watch a very cool video by Engineering Explained with help from our friends at Michelin Tires. If you want more details on this we encourage you to visit the Michelin website here: https://www.michelinman.com/longlastingperformance Summer vs Winter vs All Season - What Tires Should You Buy?

It can cost you a bit more but consider that winter tires usually have a 5-7 year life span. What does Engineering Explained say. Watch and learn. What to watch ... read more

If your car is hot inside you can cool it down by 5-10 degrees really quickly. Though you look like you are a bit crazy, if your car is sweltering hot inside here's the trick to cool it down really quick. Simply roll down your driver's side window all the way, then get out of your car and walk around to the driver's side of the car, or better yet have a passenger help.

You don't have to close the door all the way so don't feel like you have to slam the door.
