As spring time rolls around, storms and strong winds can be a problem for drivers, especially on the highway. Slick roads and hazardous conditions mean that drivers must be more cautious while trying to make their way to their destination. During these times, properly working and maintained tires, windshield wipers and windshield are a must have, as they greatly enhance visibility and traction. If any of these parts are worn out or cracked, you place yourself and your passengers at a greater risk, so here are a couple of tips from your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan, to keep you safe.

 

Tires:

When water first hits the road, the oils and dirt that have accumulated over time are forced out and rise to the top. This is the point when the road is the slickest, so you should take extra caution as it starts to rain. For tires to properly grip the road, the treads must be deep enough to maintain contact as you are driving. As you drive, the treads are naturally worn down, so it is important to replace them when you are near the manufacturer’s suggested limit.

 

Windshield And Windshield Wipers:

Because the rain reduces visibility on its own, it’s important for your wipers and the windshield itself to be in good condition. If you notice your wipers or ineffective, leaving streaks or too squeaky, come let our experts in our service department take a closer look. If you do need a replacement, new wipers are inexpensive and easy to install, so you will be back on the road in no time. In addition to wipers, you can also apply a coat of water repellant to your vehicle, which will keep it surprisingly dry during even the worst storms.
