Three Summer Tire Care Tips You Need To Know

Summer is finally here and you’re probably going to do some moving around this season. You might be doing the usual work commute or taking a trip with the family. Either way, caring for your tires during the summer will be important (whether you know it or not). Trinity Auto Care in White Bear Lake wants you to know that your tires may need that extra special attention this summer. That’s why we provide these summer tire care tips. Plus, we offer the best tire rotation services near you. Pay close attention to these tips below and consider setting up an appointment to see us soon. Now, let’s dive in with the first summer tire care tip:

Be aware of the temperature

Did you know that the hotter the air temperature, the hotter the pavement? Believe it or not, the pavement temperature in direct sunlight can get to at least 60 degrees hotter than the air. In 100 degree weather, the asphalt’s temperature can be right around 160 degrees. 

At that temperature, you can literally fry an egg right on the ground. Remember that overexposure to hot pavement can add stress to the tires. It can lead to overinflation, cracks, and even some minor stress damage that can become major issues if unchecked. 

Check the air pressure regularly

As a rule, a tire’s air pressure should be anywhere between 30 to 35 PSI (check your owner’s manual for precise specifications). Anywhere north of that range and you’ll need to let out some air. Keep in mind that well-inflated tires can help maintain or even improve your fuel economy.

If you happen to find yourself pumping gas in your vehicle more often, you might want to check the air pressure in your tires. Underinflated tires can cause your fuel economy to take a nosedive. Why throw more money away when you can save it just by checking your tires?

Get them rotated when possible

Every 3,000 to 6,000 miles, your tires should be rotated. The reasons are increased longevity and making sure that your fuel economy stays at a reasonable level. Trinity Auto Care offers tire rotation services for White Bear Lake and the surrounding area.

On top of that, we offer a 5 year/50,000-mile warranty that is considered one of the best in town. Plus, you have financing options available to you if money is tight.
