Here’s how drivers are prepping their cars for winter

(BPT) - As Americans buckle up for cold temperatures and wetter weather, a new survey from Hankook Tire finds that drivers are approaching winter car care differently, reflecting a variety of habits and levels of preparedness.

Drivers are dusting off their ice scrapers and grabbing their shovels before snow even hits the ground, with most Americans focusing on vehicle servicing and planned maintenance, according to Hankook's latest Gauge Index. Over half of Americans (53%) see themselves as "routine maintainers," typically getting their vehicles ready a few weeks before the first expected snowfall. One in five drivers identify as "early planners," who begin their winter preparations at least a month in advance, prioritizing proactive safety measures.
