Why August Is the Perfect Time to Check Your Tires
As summer winds down, your tires may be showing signs of wear from long road trips, hot pavement, and daily driving. August is the ideal time to make sure your vehicle is in peak shape — especially your tires, which take a beating during the summer months.
Hot weather puts stress on your tires. When the roads heat up, tire pressure rises, rubber wears faster, and any small issue — like a slow leak or uneven tread — can become a big problem fast.
Here’s why you should make tire maintenance a priority this month:
-
Heat can degrade rubber. If you’ve been driving in extreme temperatures, inspect your tires for cracks or dry rot.
-
August = end-of-summer deals. Many shops offer seasonal discounts before fall, making it a smart time to buy or rotate tires.
-
Back-to-school safety. Whether you’re a parent or a student, reliable tires are essential for safe commutes.
-
Rain is coming. Late-summer storms can make slick roads dangerous. Worn-out tread reduces traction and increases hydroplaning risk.
Let’s keep your summer safe and smooth — and make sure you’re ready for the road ahead. Swing on by the shop!
