When you head out on those summer road trips, make sure you’re watching your tire pressure. Driving creates friction, which creates heat, increasing the pressure in your tires. Avoid road trips on sweltering hot days, as this can damage your tires.

Check your tire pressure once a month. With the weather changing, this can affect your tire pressure. So, make sure you know the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle and check it regularly to keep your tires in perfect working order.

Did you know that performance tires have a shorter lifespan than other tires? Performance tires are typically for spring and summer use but have a shorter lifespan because they are designed to perform at higher speeds.

Hydroplaning is what happens when your tires can’t evacuate water from between the sipes quickly enough, causing you to lose traction. You can avoid this by having tires with enough tread left and driving for the conditions.
