Council Outlines Skid Prevention
The Tire Industry Safety Council urges review of skid prevention and cure techniques as winter arrives. Proper inflation and equal pressures on each axle prevent skids, while braking should be gentle and steering into the skid. Monitoring tire pressure as temperatures drop and using snow tires where appropriate can reduce stopping distances on ice or packed snow.
