Get Your Tires Checked This Week For Free

It could be time to get your pressure checked -- and we don't mean your blood pressure.

 Pat McCarthy of Recycle NB tells Tide News it's important to get the pressure in your tires checked regularly, because improperly inflated tires are less fuel efficient and thus bad for the environment.

He says Recycle NB as well as the Rubber Association of Canada are recommending having your tires checked every month. He says to check your tires when they are cold, not after driving down the highway.


Starting today (Monday) through to Friday, October 19th, a partnership between Canadian Tire and Recycle NB means you can stop by any location -- including St. Stephen -- and get your tire pressure checked for free. Your name will also be entered to win a set of winter tires.
