Did you know that? ...
El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, face each other on the Rio Grande and almost appear to be one city on a map. Together with the city of Las Cruces just across the New Mexico border, these three cities form the largest bi-state, bi-lingual metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere and are often referred to as the Borderplex or Paso del Norte. If you decide to drive across the border, make sure your car is insured for driving in Mexico and check that your car and tires are in good condition before making the trip. You can always find a new set of tires at the best prices on our website.

Automotive El Paso at a glance
One way to Mexico
A special feature of El Paso is its location right on the Mexican border. This gives the city a very vibrant and multicultural feel with a great food scene with a strong focus on Mexican delicacies.
The city's location also means you can easily drive from El Paso to Mexico at one of the four main border crossings, all of which are bridges over the Rio Grande. One important thing to consider before driving to Mexico is to make sure your car has full Mexico insurance and everything in your vehicle is in good condition.
Comfortable driving
As a smaller city, driving in El Paso is generally not as stressful or busy as in larger Texas metropolitan areas. Drivers in El Paso tend to drive a little slower than in many of the state's larger cities, which helps convey a calm feel when driving around town.
The city also has a good selection of motorways and plenty of open roads, so even stuck in traffic you don't feel the claustrophobia that can come from congestion in larger cities. Nevertheless, you should avoid the rush hour between 7am and 9am and 4pm and 6pm. And if you do find yourself stuck in traffic, make sure your air conditioning is in good working order as temperatures can be high most of the year.

What tires do you need for El Paso weather?
Hot summers and short winters
El Paso has extremely hot summers and short, cool winters, even snowing from time to time in the winter, especially in the nearby mountains. The extreme weather events there do not end with heavy rains in the summer months, which lead to flash floods in some areas, as well as dust and sand storms in the spring. This means it is important to choose the right tires for your car and to keep your tires in good condition all year round as they may have to deal with some challenging driving conditions.
Drive safely: Check your tires regularly!
In addition to ensuring that your tires have sufficient tread, it is important to check tire pressure regularly, especially during the winter months. Did you know that sudden cold temperatures like those experienced in El Paso can cause your tire pressure to drop? Tire pressure drops by 1 pound for every 10 degrees drop in temperature. And under-inflated tires can cause poor traction on icy roads.

Located in the middle of the desert, El Paso has, as you might expect, very hot summers with peak temperatures in excess of 110°F and short, cold winters when temperatures have been known to drop to 1°F and snowfall is unheard of. Summer can also experience heavy rains and flash floods, while springtime beware of sand and dust storms.
Even with all of these fairly extreme weather conditions, the standard recommended tire for this city is still an all-season tire. But many residents of El Paso also like to use the beautiful landscape outside the city limits to drive their trucks off-road. For this type of driver is a set ofoff-road tiresorsturdy off-road tiresmight be the best choice. And for vehicles that are rarely driven on paved roads, you can opt for a set of off-road tires.

DRIVERS’ EL PASO GUIDE: PRACTICAL INFORMATION
While driving in El Paso can be much less stressful than many larger cities, it's still useful to know the ins and outs of local laws and driving habits, and to understand the freeway network.
Live Traffic Report
Traffic in El Paso is generally not too bad compared to many other cities, but it's still a good idea to check out one of these live traffic reports before you head out:
Seasonal tire change
In general, the average driver will only need to perform a seasonal tire change if they live in a climate with long, cold winters. For those of us lucky enough to live in warmer climes like El Paso, a set of versatile, all-season tires is your best bet. Tough and durable, these tires perform well in hot and cold weather, as well as rain and light snow.
In the United Tires shop you will find new tires and used tires for all cars. Starting at less than $25, our all-season tires help you ride safely for less.
Motorists who enjoy driving sports cars and other high-performance vehicles might opt for summer tires during the hotter months as they offer better grip and performance in hot weather. As they should not be used at temperatures below 20°C, they are best suited for the months of May - September.
driving laws
As in other Texas cities, general state traffic rules should be followed. Here are a few to keep in mind:
- Obey the speed limits:Although El Paso drivers are generally aware of the speed limit, there are exceptions to this rule, particularly on I-10. This has resulted in some bad accidents over the years, so it's important to always obey the posted speed limits.
- Avoid dots:Texas has a points-based system known as the Driver Responsibility Program. The system adds points to the driver's license for each infraction, based on how serious the infraction was. If there are too many points, a driver may lose their driver's license or be unable to renew it.
- No talking or texting:on a cell phone that is. In El Paso, the police can issue a ticket if a driver uses a phone or text message while driving.
- Think of red lights and stop signs:It is important to always stop at a red light or stop sign. Failure to do so could result in a fine of up to $200.
Unspoken road rules
When cruising around El Paso most drivers are pretty calm, but when you pull onto I-10 things can change. It is important to watch out for reckless speeders on the highway to avoid incidents.
Motorists on the freeway aren't always the best at yielding to other cars, either, even when signaling to stop. So remember to get in the right lane well in advance of your exit.
Because El Paso is a growing city, there's often roadworks, so it's always a good idea to check local traffic reports and live traffic maps before heading out. In this way you avoid traffic jams and road closures due to construction work.
parking rules
As in most cities, parking in El Paso can be difficult at certain times of the day, but it's generally much cheaper than in larger cities. Here are some points to keep in mind about parking in El Paso:
- There are nearly 2,000 metered parking spaces around El Paso, with rates starting at $0.25 for 15 minutes.
- Paid parking can be paid for with coins, credit cards, and a mobile app (surcharges apply for the credit card and app payment options).
- Paid parking is free after 6pm. to 8 a.m. as well as on Sundays and all municipal holidays.
- The city's Park915 app allows you to reserve parking in the city's parking garages at Union Plaza Transit Terminal, Glory Road, and the Convention Center.
All information about parking in the city can be found atCity of El Paso website.
Window tinting laws
Since El Paso is in the middle of the desert, window tinting is generally considered essential by residents as it keeps your car cooler and saves money on running your air conditioner all the time.
However, it's important to follow local tint laws to ensure your tint is safe and doesn't obstruct your vision while driving.
El Paso residents are subject to the Texas Department of Public Safety's tint laws, which include the fact that all tints must have a minimum Light Transmission Value of 25% and a Light Reflectance Value of no more than 25%.
The correct placement of these shades is also important and they must not be amber, red or blue.
The complete regulations can be found on theTexas Department of Public Safety website.find out moreabout the hot trends in today's hair tinting industry.
roads and highways
El Paso is generally a fairly car-oriented city with little public transportation and a few bike lanes. However, it has a good network of freeways and an interstate that runs through the city from northwest to southeast.
- I-10- One interstate freeway in El Paso runs very close to downtown and is a busy freeway. It connects El Paso to Los Angeles, California to the west and Jacksonville, Florida to the east.
- US-54- This route used to connect El Paso to Chicago, but now goes all the way to Kansas. In El Paso, too, it goes from the expressway to the Mexican border, along Dyer Street.
- US-62, US-85 und US-180- In El Paso, US-62 travels west along with US-85, merges with I-10 and then east, it continues with US-180 until just south of Lubbock, where it splits with the US 180 to Dallas-Fort Worth and US-62 to Oklahoma City. In the city of El Paso, follow Montana Avenue, Santa Fe Street and Paisano Drive.
International Bridges
There are four main border crossing bridges in El Paso for motorists wishing to venture into Mexico. Three of these bridges are toll bridges managed by the City of El Paso and one is free to cross.
- Bridge of the Americas:This is the main border crossing in El Paso that is free to cross, and is therefore the busiest bridge in the city. Not only does it have two lanes in each direction for traffic, but it also has pedestrian walkways for those wishing to cross the border. It has several names including Puente Libre, Cordova Bridge and Free Bridge.
- Stanton Street Bridge:This toll bridge is located very close to the Bridge of the Americas and has five lanes, one of which is for northbound travelers only using the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTI). This bridge is also called Good Neighbor International Bridge, Friendship Bridge and Puente Ciudad Juárez-Stanton El Paso.
- International Bridge of the North Passage:The westernmost of the four bridges has four lanes and is only intended for non-commercial traffic. This is also one of the busiest international border crossings in the US. It has a few other names as well, including Santa Fe Street Bridge, Puente Benito Juáre, and Puente Juárez-Santa Fe.
- Ysleta–Zaragoza International Bridge:The southernmost of El Paso's international bridges, the Ysleta-Zaragoza International Bridge is actually two four-lane bridges. One is for private vehicles and has a pedestrian walkway and the other is for commercial vehicles. This bridge is also known as Zaragoza Bridge, Puente Zaragoza and Puente Ysleta-Zaragoza.
Fees for crossing the toll bridges range from $3 to $9 depending on the size and type of vehicle and whether you are paying in cash or with the E-Fast Pass.
