POTHOLE SEASON AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TIRE ALIGNMENT
We all know how bad the roads can get in Southern Ontario winters, and not just when there’s snow or ice on the ground. Potholes are areas of the road’s surface that have cracked and formed a hole. A pothole varies in size, and large ones can cause severe damage to your vehicle. Potholes are caused by the heated friction of traffic paired with the cold temperatures, causing the road to expand and contract, leading to cracks and holes. These road imperfections can lead to tire misalignment and undercarriage damage. So, it’s essential to avoid them or, if they are unavoidable, go as slowly as possible over them.
