The Meineke Car Care Center on Gettysburg Road in Camp Hill will help your tires survive the summer heat.
Although summer won't officially arrive for a few more days, area temperatures are beginning to climb. Soon, they'll reach those sweltering summer heights.
The warmer temperatures should act as a warning that it's time to pay special attention to your car's tires. Tires, like you, suffer in the summer heat.
" Just as heat takes its toll on people and electric bills, it also impacts car reliability and safety," according to consumerreports.org."Hot weather exacerbates heat build-up and weakens the tire, potentially leading to abrupt and sometime catastrophic failure. On a hot 90-degree day ..., surface temperatures easily exceed 150-degrees. Think about what your tires are experiencing while you're enjoying the drive in a cool air-conditioned car."
Maintaining your tires at the correct inflation will help you avoid damage. So will following these tips, according to consumerreports.org:
- "Check the inflation pressure in each tire (and the spare) when the tires are cold or have sat more than three hours.
- "Inflate the tires to the recommended setting outlined on the tire information placard found most often on the driver's door jamb and/or the vehicle owner's manual.
- "Check the tires monthly. Tires will typically lose up to 1 psi per month, and pressure drops about 1 psi for every 10-degree drop in air temperature.
- "Buy a good tire gauge. It's also a good idea to buy a portable compressor that works off of your car's power outlet; these are available in many auto parts stores.
- "Tires also lose air to common punctures, so if you find you're always adding air to one particular tire, it might have a slow leak. Have it checked out at a service garage."
