When the summer heat hits, most people think about road trips, beaches, and BBQs. But there’s one thing that shouldn’t be left off the checklist—tire maintenance.
It’s easy to overlook, but your tires work overtime during the hottest months of the year, and neglecting them can cost you more than just comfort—it can cost you safety and money.
Heat + Asphalt = Tire Trouble
Hot pavement, longer drives, and heavy loads all add extra stress to your tires. The rubber in your tires expands in the heat, which can lead to over inflation, uneven tread wear, or even blowouts. Plus, the summer heat can magnify any existing problems like low tread depth or slow leaks.
The Benefits of Summer Tire Checks
- Better Fuel Efficiency
Properly inflated and aligned tires reduce rolling resistance, which helps save you money at the pump. - Improved Safety
Bald or worn tires don’t grip the road well—especially during sudden stops or summer storms. - Longer Tire Life
Regular rotations and inspections can extend the life of your tires and delay costly replacements.
