Goodwrench PSA and Giveaway-- CLOSED

With only 1 entry, Valerie is the winner! Congratulations, Valerie!


Goodwrench is putting out a great PSA for all of out there, regarding tire wear. With summer road trips, lots of trips to the baby store and much more, it is super important to keep your eyes on your tires.

Here is some great info/tips that Goodwrench has sent me:


- According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA,) 660 fatalities and 33,000 injuries occur every year due to tire-related problems.
 


- Keeping your family vehicle’s tires inflated to the recommended pounds per square inch (psi) will not only save on gas, but will provide a safer ride.



- It’s important to keep in mind that during the warm weather of summer, hot road surfaces can cause the pressure to increase in a tire. As a general rule, for every 10-degree rise in temperature, a tire’s pressure increases one psi.


- Invest in a quality tire gauge! Eyeballing tires to measure pressure can be misleading, as radial tires often look fine even if they are under-inflated.

-And by the way, be sure to rotate your tires on schedule. Since each tire performs different tasks (such as steering or front versus rear wheel drive), tires wear at different rates, and you’ll get more life out of the tires you bought this way.
 


Goodwrench is providing TWO prize packs for two winner for this giveaway. The prize pack contains the official baseball cap that the Goodwrench technicians wear and a tire-tread card that the technicians use. I am especially excited about the tire-tread card for you all...it is a neat little card on a lanyard that you can keep in your card that will allow you to correctly evaluate the treads of your tire and lets you know how much life is left in them.
