Tire Care Essential for Summer Time Driving Safety in Your St. Petersburg Hyundai

Jun 18, 2013

Tire care should always be a routine maintenance service completed on your new or used St. Petersburg Hyundai but it is even more important during the summer season. If your tire tread is too worn to provide the proper traction, it will not keep you safe during the rain storms that are quick to spring up in the hot temperatures of the season.

Tire care is essential for the overall safety of the vehicle and its passengers. As tires are used the rubber tread begins to wear down. Without the proper tread depth, the tires are not able to maintain traction on a wet surface which can lead to a driver losing control of their vehicle during just a drizzle. A loss of traction is a serious matter that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

We can figure out just how often you should have servicing completed based on how you drive, how often you drive, and where you are driving your vehicle. This will help ensure you are staying on the right schedule and that your tires will remain in good shape at all times.

Car owners should also keep tabs on the condition of their tires. Regularly checking them visually to make sure there are no bulges or other damage is a wise idea. It is also important to routinely check for proper air pressure to ensure tires are properly inflated for safety reasons as well as to maintain proper fuel efficiency.

Summer time also brings up other maintenance concerns that are important to remember. Due to the propensity for unexpected rain showers, drivers should always make certain their windshield wipers are functioning properly and that they are free from damage. Over time and after regular use, the rubber material of the wipers can wear down and crack. This means they will not be able to effectively clear your windshield for safe visibility.
