Linder Tire Service

With all this rain we're getting, make sure you know how to prevent hydroplaning! 🌧 In addition to slowing down, turning off the cruise, and avoiding abrupt speed or direction changes during wet conditions, there are 3 proactive ways to prevent hydroplaning:

1️⃣ Keep your tires rotated and balanced! This should be done every other time you have your oil changed–approximately every 7000-10,000 miles.

2️⃣ Choose high quality tires! (We know where you can get some great ones! 😉)

3️⃣ Replace your tires regularly. Driving on slick or bald tires can cause accidents when the roads are wet.

Stay safe out there! 🚗

C is for...
Cord!

Tire cords are strands of wire that reinforce and maintain the tire's shape. The higher the rigidity of the cords, the better stability the tires will have. Tire cords with lower rigidity offer a more comfortable ride.

B is for...Balance!

Tire balancing (also called wheel balancing) corrects uneven distribution of weight in the wheels. Imbalanced tires can lead to vibrations, uneven tire wear, suspension damage, and more.

During a tire balance service, a tire balancing machine spins the wheel assembly to measure the imbalance, and then a technician installs the precise tire weights needed to correct the imbalance.

Often, tire balancing and alignment happen during one service, but they aren't the same thing!

Raise your hand if you're ready for the Linder Tire Service alphabet!! Everyone loves learning, right? 🍎 Let's start with A...

A is for:

ALIGNMENT - The correct alignment of your car depends on the angles of the tire and suspension axis relative to each other and to the ground. To optimize efficient operation, maximize the life of your tires, and make sure your vehicle handles easily, we adjust your car's components to bring them into the correct position.

Better for your car, safer for you! That's how we roll safely! 🚗

There are two types of people in this world:

1. ⛽️ Those who see a low gas gauge and think, "I need gas ASAP!"

And...

2. 🚘 Those who see a low gas gauge and think, "I have plenty of time!"

Which one are you? 🤔 1 or 2?

Some folks believe that air conditioning is more fuel efficient, because rolled down windows increase drag, making for worse fuel economy. Unfortunately it's a myth. AC actually uses up more gas than rolled down windows.

However, there's no reason to be miserable in your car due to the heat. Air conditioning is there to keep you comfortable, so don't feel bad about using it!

Cooler temps are coming soon!

Fact: distracted driving causes 60% of accidents with teen drivers.

Surprisingly, the number one distraction isn’t the phone–it’s other teens! Just one extra teen in the car nearly doubles the likelihood of a crash. Adding more than one teen makes the risk of a crash 5X the chance.

If your teen is allowed to drive with other teen passengers, make sure everyone is able to follow the rules:
➡ Keep the music down
➡ Make the car a no-phone zone
➡ No selfies while driving
➡ Let the driver concentrate

❤️Stay safe out there, and remember that driving is a responsibility and a privilege. 🚗
