As the temperature increases in the upcoming months, we've been recommending that our customers keep an eye on your tire pressure. Tire pressure is a critical factor in maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle, and neglecting it can lead to severe consequences. Read on to learn more about why it is essential to inspect tire pressure in hotter months and the potential risks of neglecting it. Maintaining Optimal Performance The manufacturer specifies the optimal tire pressure for your vehicle, and it is vital to maintain this pressure to ensure optimal performance. As the temperature rises, the air inside the tire expands, which can lead to overinflation.
