Is It Time To Service your Tires? | Albany, NY
We are only one week away from Halloween and before we know it the jingle bells will be ringing and the snow will be falling. If you haven’t taken the time to service your vehicle for the winter months ahead, then it’s time to get started! As we know the winter weather won’t wait for anyone, so the sooner you service the better! If your vehicle is in need of some well deserved TLC, be sure to schedule a service appointment with us so you can skip the line later!
This week we want to inform you about some tips and tricks on how to keep up with your tire maintenance. Your tires are extremely important to the way your vehicle drives during the winter months. If your tire’s PSI is low, if your tire’s tread is low, or the condition/age of your tires is bad/older, you could have issues on the road when the snowy and icy weather hit. Making sure that your tires are in tip-top shape for the winter is not only important for your performance, but also for the safety of you and your passengers. So please take a few minutes to look over the checklist below and be sure to give your tires an inspection. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for or how to check you can find that information below or our team could do it for you. Give yourself peace of mind this winter and service your tires today!
Checking Your Tire Pressure:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to make sure your tires are properly inflated and then fill your tires with air as needed
- Your owners manual will have the proper PSI for your tires
- To check your pressure, remove the valve stem cap, press the gauge head evenly onto the valve stem, use firm pressure so that the hissing sound stops
- Remove the gauge and read the pressure adjust as needed
Checking Your Tire’s Condition & Age:
- Look at the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, scrapes, punctures, bulges, bumps or cracks. If you see anything suspicious, have a tire service professional take a closer look.
- You also want to keep an eye on your tire’s age. Depending on how much you drive, your tire’s tread may last for years but just because the tread is not worn out does not mean that your tires don’t need to be replaced
- To determine your tire’s age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall
- At the end of the DOT stamp, there is a four-digit code that will tell you when the tire was manufactured.
- Example: A code that looks like 4719 means the tire was manufactured in the 47th week of 2019.
Checking Your Tire Depth:
- Evaluate the tread depth of your tires to make sure you have enough traction to grip the road
- An easy way to check you tire depth is with the Penny Test
- Just place a penny upside down in your tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it may be time for new tires.

Have Your Brakes Checked:
- It’s no secret your breaks are important, but in the winter months, it’s important they’re in shape to take on the winter weather.
- Make sure the brake pads/rotors don’t need to be replaced and have the brake line checked as well.
- Our team is more than qualified to help give you peace of mind and repair any issues we may find
Inspect The Battery:
- Check the battery connections to make sure they’re tight, clean and free of corrosion
- Harsh winter weather can be hard on a vehicle battery, so you want to check the battery and charging system before the cold sets in
Check Your Tires:
- Check tire tread depth
- Look for any signs of wear and tear such as bulges and bald spots
- Check the tire pressure, and adjust it accordingly using the PSI listed in your owner’s manual or driver’s side doorjamb
- Tire pressure drops when the temperatures drop, so keep a regular schedule of tire pressure maintenance
Check Wiper Blades, Defrosters, and Heater:
- Checking your cooling and heating system is important for your comfort, but it’s also important for your safety, too. Visibility could be hindered in the winter month due to frost, ice, snow, and other elements.
- Making sure your defroster is working, your wiper blades don’t have any cracks or are leaving streaks across your windshield
- Generally, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 months
- Don’t forget the windshield wiper fluid! Most vehicles will warn you you’re running low but it is always a good idea to keep it recommended levels
Check Your Lights:
- Your vehicle’s lights tend to be overlooked, but as the days begin to grow darker sooner, your lights become extremely important
- Think about the last time you changed your headlights and taillights, if you can’t remember, chances are it’s time to change them!
- If they’re still running smoothly, give them a good cleaning to create better visibility
September is finally here and for many of us this marks the start of a new school year, the end of summer, and the last part of the year, but for many of us, September means one thing …and that’s that football is back! Whether you’re all about college ball or excited about cheering on your favorite pro team, it doesn’t matter, because we all love a good tailgate! Come on, you can’t go to the game without a good pre-game, am I right? That’s why we want to help you go from dominating the carpool to dominating the tailgate in your Nissan! So whether you’re a veteran tailgater or joining the party for the first time, we’ve got some tips you’re not going to want to pass up. Take a peek at our tips below and let’s get this party started!
Basics:
- Every tailgate has basics, these include chairs, tables, food (it’s a must), drinks, coolers, plates, utensils, and a grill (be the grill master of the tailgate party)!
Take It Up A Notch:
- Everybody can bring a grill and some food, but that doesn’t make them tailgate masters…take it to the next level with portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. You’ll definitely get some brownie points for that!
All Decked Out:
- What is a tailgate without some team pride?? Not a good one that’s for sure! Get all decked out, apparel, magnet decor for your vehicle, balloons, foam fingers, and don’t forget to serve the opposing team fans a burger on a paper plate that has your team’s decor…oh yeah I went there!
Location:
- You can have everything for the perfect tailgate party, but it won’t be enough without the right spot! Weather is never perfect, especially in the months ahead, so get there early and ensure you get the perfect spot that shelters your vehicle from the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice.
Now that you have the tips to take on the tailgate, you have to ask yourself if you have the right ride? If you’re looking to upgrade your tailgate ride, stop into Destination Nissan this month! When you shop our new specials you can save big on fan-favorite models! We also have an impressive inventory of Nissan models, and it’s Truck Month here at Destination Nissan and that means there’s no better time to slip behind the wheel of that dream truck you’ve been eyeing!
