However, make sure you check your tires before heading out to the highway.
Underinflated tires are the leading cause of tire blowouts, according to the Rubber Manufacturers Association. Each year, there are over 650 fatalities due to car accidents with tires lacking the correct air pressure.
Here are few tips to whip your tires in shape for the summer, thanks to the crew over at CarJunky.com :
Don't wait to inflate
Less isn't always more. Low tire pressure decreases the vehicle's fuel economy.
Don't overdo it
Too much air also affects the car's gas mileage because of wind drag and cargo weight.
Rotate the tires
Tires rotated every 6,000-8,000 miles have a longer road life and helps achieve road performance and uniform tire wear.
Get them straight
Tires last longer if they're properly alligned. It also helps make the drive smoother and safer.
Bald isn't good
Tires lacking tread affects the car's ability to grip the road and uneven wear can increase the risk of accidents.
