Tire Dealer In Pensacola Increases Stocks As Summer Travel Season Boosts Demand

Butler's Tire & Accessories, a business in Pensacola, FL, is preparing for this summer's travel season by increasing its stocks. Known as the best tire dealer Pensacola residents can go to, they saw a tremendous increase in demand for their products over the Memorial Day weekend, and demand hasn't dropped since then. This was after some 38 million people hit the road at the official start of the summer travel season.

Jim Butler, founder and owner of Butler's Tire & Accessories, says: "You can really tell that the economy is recovering, with an extra 700,000 people hitting the road compared to last year. Plus, gas prices are really low and that made a difference as well. In Pensacola, the average gas price stands at $2.32 per gallon, which means people can really afford to travel."

Around 90% of summer travelers use their vehicles to go to their destinations. In fact, Pensacola itself is known as a 'drive to' destination. The result of this is that there is also an increase in people looking for the best new tires Pensacola has to offer. "People have been driving over to Pensacola for anything from a day trip to a week's vacation," adds Butler. "This also means that traffic has been quite crazy and there have been too many people who were unprepared, driving significant distances on worn tires. Luckily, we had increased our stocks in order to be able to serve their need for tires."

According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), some 350,000 motorists had to be rescued over the Memorial Day weekend alone, with flat tires being one of the main concerns. Butler's Tire & Accessories is working closely with the AAA in order to ensure that people are safe while they travel. The company also offers a high quality used tires Pensacola service, so that people can have properly functioning tires at an affordable price.

"Once summer hits, people seem to become a bit blinded by the nice weather and the prospect of a nice day out," observes Butler. "Together with the AAA, we really want to remind people that safety comes first, however. So check your tires and have them replaced if they are too worn out before you set out."
