TOLEDO, Ohio - (January 28, 2013) - Tireman Auto Service Centers, located in Ohio and Michigan, is set to open a new location at 3608 Navarre Avenue in Oregon, Ohio. The company plans to continue operating, during the construction period, at the existing Woodville Mall store so that there is no interruption in service.

The move is expected to be completed by July, 2013.

“Due to the deteriorating condition of the Woodville Mall and accompanying parking lot, the current site in Northwood, Ohio no longer fits our company image”, said Randy Jones, President of Tireman Auto Service Centers.  “We look forward to providing our current Northwood and Oregon area customers with a brand new facility, just a couple miles away on Navarre Avenue”, Mr. Jones went on to say.

The new store will be another “green” auto center for Tireman, similar to their newest facility in Findlay, Ohio.  All oil and lubricants, scrap tires, and antifreeze will be taken off site and recycled. Even the store’s hoists are planned to be operated using water instead of hydraulic fluid.

“We’ve have a great team of employees at our Woodville Mall location. They’ve been together, serving our customers, for many years.  We’re committed to keeping the Woodville site open until the new store is ready for business.  That’s in the best interest of our customers and employees”, Jones commented.

When it comes to wet driving, the right tire can make all the difference. Choose your tire technology wisely and make sure you check your tread depth and air pressure once a month.

Sliding can happen very easily on wet roads. The best way to avoid sliding is to drive slower in the rain and maintain proper tread depth and air pressure. Slow driving allows for better contact with the road and more traction. To stop sliding, gently lift off the gas pedal and slow down to regain traction.

Make sure you stay farther behind the cars in front of you during wet driving. Doubling the distance is a general rule of thumb because your braking distance will be much greater than on dry roads and you'll need the extra time to stop safely.

Hydroplaning occurs when your tires can't push the water out fast enough to maintain grip. It can occur because your tires don't have the proper tread depth. If you find yourself hydroplaning, don't slam on the brakes - easy off the gas gently until you slow down and gain control.

Why is your vehicle not turning in the direction you want?

Reason #1: You brake and lock the wheels while turning.

Reason #2: You accelerate too suddenly, making the front wheels spin.

Reason #3: You go too fast into a turn.

In each case, adapt your driving technique and speed based on the road conditions. Things will go much smoother.

Michelin provides some helpful tips for braking in winter conditions.

If you're only purchasing two new tires, the new tires should always be mounted on the rear of the vehicle. In this video, Michelin explains why.
