Tips Offered for Dealing with Potholes

TYLER — Rain, searing heat, and drought have combined to cause pothole problems in East Texas. According to KETK, some simple tips can minimize the damage to your vehicle. First, be sure to check the air pressure in your tires; if it’s not right, the slightest change in temperature can cause a blowout. Experts also recommend an alignment inspection with each oil change, and rotating your tires regularly to slow down their wear. TxDOT’s Larry Krantz adds that his agency regularly seal-coats highways in the area to fix the potholes.
