Watch Out for Summertime Blowouts | Maple Street Tires

Hot pavement can damage car tires. Tracy’s Automotive can help keep your tires in good shape or replace tires that need to go.

You’re planning on taking the kids to Botanica Wet and Wild this week. But before you go, be sure to check your tires.

It’s always a good idea to regularly check your tires before you go anywhere near or far. But it’s especially important in the hot summertime because high temperatures and overheated roads can damage tires.

“Scorching summer temperatures are coming, and that means it’s time for your car’s tire-pressure checkup,” azdot.gov ays. “That’s because summer usually means a spike in tire blowouts. Hot pavement can cause tires to build pressure and overheat quickly, which can lead to failure.”

The effect is even worse if your tires are in bad shape. Azdot.gov offers these tips, courtesy of safercar.gov, for keeping your tires road ready during the hot summertime:

  • “Inflate your tires according to the pressure specified in your vehicle’s manual or the tire information label on the driver’s side door edge.
  • “Follow your car’s maintenance guidelines and rotate tires as specified. Also, be sure tires are balanced and aligned correctly.
  • “Check the tread on your tires. Tires should be replaced when tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch.
  • “Keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove box.
  • “Also remember that keeping your tires in good shape is not only safer, it will save you money in the long run. Properly inflating tires improves fuel efficiency, providing as much as 11 cents more value per gallon.”
