- Wash the tires: Always remember to wash your tires on an almost regular basis and coat them with any good protective fluid so that it can repel the harmful rays which accelerate the wear of tires. Use the tyre gloss spray on the tires to not only protect them but also give them a nice shine.
- Park the car under a shade: The most important and basic technique to protect the tires in summer is to park the car under a shade, never park the car under direct sunlight, not only the tires but also the exterior and the interior of the car will receive damage. Use a good quality car cover in case there is no shade.
- Inflate the tires properly: Manufacturers recommend different tire pressure in summer, so remember to check owner’s manual before inflating the tires. Over-inflation as well as under-inflation cause great damage to the tires. Keep a handy air compressor in your car at all times. Also, regularly inspect the tires for possible signs of lumps, cracks or wear.
- Summer tires: It is recommended to use summer tires and rotate them so that they can wear evenly.
- Overloading the vehicle: Don’t overload the vehicle in summer with extra weight as it would put more pressure on tyres—meaning the heavier the car, the more friction it will create which in result will wear the tires quickly. Weak tires will give up in extreme hot conditions under load which is quite dangerous. Get yourself a proper tire pressure monitoring system to keep an eye on the falling air pressure.
