Barkley Tire Reminds Drivers: 3 Key Steps for Tire Care During Summer Heat

Barkley Tire Reminds Drivers: 3 Key Steps for Tire Care During Summer Heat

As temperatures continue to rise across North America, tire safety experts at Barkley Tire warn drivers: Extreme heat can accelerate tire aging, increasing the risk of blowouts. According to NHTSA data, approximately 11% of summer highway accidents are caused by tire issues. To ensure driving safety, we recommend taking these immediate actions:

Precision Tire Pressure Monitoring

Heat increases tire pressure (approx. 1 PSI per 10°F). Check pressure when tires are cold using a professional gauge. All Barkley Tire locations nationwide offer free tire pressure checks for cars, SUVs, and light trucks.

2. Tread Depth Self-Check

Insert a quarter into tread grooves. If Lincoln's head is fully visible, tread depth is below the 2/32-inch legal minimum. We recommend professional tire rotation every six months to extend tire life.

3. Watch for Warning Signs

Sidewall cracks, abnormal vibrations, or uneven wear may indicate alignment issues or internal damage.
