I've always been a fan of winter tires, even in areas where we don't get much snow. The extra grip and control they provide in cold and wet conditions are worth every penny https://wheelapex.com/blog/can-glass-pop-car-tires/. Plus, it extends the life of my regular tires, so it's a win-win in my book. Don't overlook the importance of having a good set of winter tires for those unexpected weather changes.

One thing I've found helpful is to keep a maintenance log. By jotting down repairs, replacements, and regular service dates, I can better track my car's health and anticipate potential issues. https://www.chulavistamobilemechanic.com/
