Why July is the Perfect Time to Check Your Tires

Posted in Tire Maintenance

Summer’s Here—Is Your Car Road Trip Ready?
July means sunshine, family vacations, and long drives. But before you hit the highway, it’s crucial to make sure your tires are up to the task. Hot pavement, increased mileage, and unexpected summer storms can take a toll on your vehicle’s performance—starting from the ground up.

How Heat Affects Tires

Extreme heat causes the air inside your tires to expand, which can lead to overinflation and uneven wear. In some cases, it can even increase the risk of a blowout. That’s why July is a key time to check:

  • Tire pressure (recommended monthly!)

  • Tread depth

  • Sidewall cracking or damage

  • Proper alignment and rotation

Don’t Forget the Spare

If you’re heading out on a road trip, your spare tire should be in top shape too. It’s the last thing you want to discover is flat when you’re stranded on the side of the road.
