Tires are only one aspect of car ownership, but they might perhaps be the most important. A few inches of rubber between the road and a quarter-ton car can affect everything from speed to gas mileage. Keeping the tires in good shape and well maintained will have less impact on the wallet and the car.

Pennsylvania tires also have to navigate snow and ice so the better the tires are maintained, the healthier the driver will remain. Tires were meant to drive straight but many things can wear tire tread. Making turns on two wheels and misalignment can wear tire tread.

This impacts the wallet. Rotating the tires to keep the best tread on the front of the car will help. This also impacts gas mileage. Tire tread not gripping the road makes the motor work harder to pull the car. That takes gas to propel the motor.

Wallet impact would be less if the tires were well maintained. Snow and ice mean different wear and tear on Pennsylvania tires. Most people think that if they let out some of the air from the tires that more surface on the road will better navigate ice and snow.

Au contraire. That few inches of rubber between the quarter-ton car and the road, however slick, will wear faster if there is more surface on the road. The motor won't work as hard to pull the car, which means speed will drop off. Proper tire maintenance will mean safer driving in snow and ice.
