In addition to tires, you should pay attention to the condition of the battery, suspension, as well as the level of oil, coolant and brake fluid. These are measures that drivers should take after the end of the cold season to prepare their cars for spring and summer.

In particular, the battery charge decreases in winter if the car is often idle or only makes short trips. Experts recommend checking the voltage: a reading below 12.8 V indicates the need to recharge or even replace the battery. It is also important to clean the terminals from oxides that can disrupt the contact.

It is also necessary to change tires as soon as the temperature stabilizes above 6-7 degrees above zero. You should also check the tread depth, tire pressure, and carefully inspect them for damage. Summer tires are a matter of not only comfort, but also driving safety.

Diagnostics of the suspension and brake system are also a very important part of preparing your car for the warm season. Check the suspension - its components may be damaged by reagents, salt, and sand, and perform diagnostics of the brake system. If you notice unusual sounds when braking or vibrations, do not delay your visit to the car service.
