Can You Keep Driving with Overheated Truck Tires?

[StTeagan]

You can continue driving if you're not afraid of the tires catching fire, as many vehicle fires start from the tires. Professionals remind drivers to pay special attention to the use and maintenance of truck tires during the hot summer months to prevent blowouts that could lead to accidents. Below are some summer tire care tips: 1. Tip one: Due to temperature effects, the gas inside tires will automatically expand. To maintain proper tire pressure, it is recommended to fill tires with nitrogen in summer, reducing the filling pressure by 10%. 2. Tip two: Replace tires promptly. High summer temperatures accelerate tire rubber wear and aging, reducing the strength of the steel belt layer. Generally, there are raised markers in the tire tread grooves, and owners should replace tires in time. 3. Tip three: Front tires wear faster than rear tires because of steering. To extend tire lifespan, regularly rotate tires to balance wear between front and rear tires. The diagonal rotation method is commonly used to ensure even wear across all tires.
