Catch glimpses of giant metal roadside art along the country highway, such as the enormous 75-foot-tall buck, and pull over at Geese in Flight, believed to be the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world.

There is a gigantic grasshopper, a 70-foot-tall trout, and 40-foot-tall rooster, and a massive hen with two chicks. The trip's highlights must be the giant Theodore Roosevelt with a coach and horses and the world's biggest tin family. On your way back, stop at the gift shop in Regent and buy miniatures of each giant artwork and have a delicious bite to eat at the Enchanted Castle before heading home.

Time for New Tires? Visit Your Chrysler Dealership

Car tires should be checked at least once a month for air pressure and signs of damage. As you look over your tires, consider the questions laid out below. If you find signs of damage or excessive wear and tear, head to your local Chrysler dealership for new tires without delay. The longer you drive on overly worn or damaged tires, the more likely you are to experience tire failure. Time for New Tires? Visit Your Chrysler Dealership Are the Tread Depths Too Shallow? The voids between tire treads allow water, snow, and other substances to push into the gaps, thereby keeping the rubber of the tread blocks pressing firmly against the road. The voids also the tread blocks to move and flex as required in order to maintain traction. more If the voids in your tire treads become too shallow, these grip-enhancing qualities are lost and your tires become dangerous to use. The minimum safe tread depth for most cars is usually considered to be 2/32 of an inch. It's recommended to get replacement tires before your tire treads become this diminished. Can You Detect Signs of Damage? Any clear outward signs of damage may mean a tire's structure is compromised. Such damage might include deep cuts and gashes, embedded nails and other objects, or bulges in the rubber, which often indicate serious internal damage. If you notice any damage to your tires, have a technician take a closer look. Are the Sidewalls Excessively Cracked? The rubber of tire sidewalls tends to dry out and develop cracks over time. At first, tiny cracks are usually nothing to worry about. But if you notice the cracks spreading and deepening alarmingly, you may need to replace the tire. Have You Experienced Any Loss of Traction? If you ever experience a sudden loss of traction, it may be a cause for concern. When a tire is worn out or somehow faulty, you're first likely to notice weaker traction on wet patches or puddles. It's unwise to drive on a tire that is losing its ability to grip the road. Are Your Tires Inexplicably Losing Pressure? Both under-inflation and over-inflation can lead to tire failure. For this reason, car tires should always be kept at precisely the optimal tire pressure specified in the owner's manual. If one or more of your tires start losing air inexplicably, have it checked for hidden punctures right away at your nearest dealership. Is Your Car Vibrating More Than Usual? When tires start to wear down, you might notice more road noise and vibrations than usual. Increased vibrations may mean that your tires are slightly uneven and in need of rotation. It could also mean that your tires are badly worn out and need to be replaced. Have your tires inspected and replaced today at Charbonneau Chrysler Center.
