Sherwood Ford announces October incentives designed to prepare drivers for winter weather

SHERWOOD PARK, Alberta, Oct. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Drivers in the Edmonton area interested in purchasing or leasing a new vehicle are encouraged to check out the Ford Winter Safety Package provided at Sherwood Ford. The Winter Safety Package provides vehicles with the equipment needed in order to handle driving in the cold, on slippery road surfaces and through snow. Included in the Ford Winter Safety Package are winter tires, steel wheels and a tire-pressure monitor for each wheel.

Because they are made with a different and specialized rubber compound, winter tires are able to provide more traction on slippery road surfaces. When temperatures fall below seven degrees Celsius, the rubber compounds in winter tires are capable of maintaining their elasticity better than regular or all-season tires. Each tire will also receive its own pressure monitor. These monitors are able to instantaneously send an alert when it senses that one of the tires has experienced a significant drop in pressure and needs attention.

The winter tires will come with steel wheels which help to preserve the finish and integrity of the original wheels and rims that come with the new Ford vehicle. The steel wheels also help to prolong the life of both the winter tires and the regular or all-season tires currently on the vehicle by greatly reducing the potential damage that can be caused my remounting tires onto wheels.

Drivers interested in learning more about the October incentives, such as the Ford Winter Safety Package, offered by Sherwood Ford are encouraged to contact the dealership either over the phone at (780) 417-2985, or in person at 2540 Broadmoor Boulevard in Sherwood Park. The dealership also offers off-season tire storage for drivers who don't have the space to store their tires. More information on tire storage can be found on Sherwood Ford's website, www.sherwoodford.ca.
