Is it okay to leave a car parked for a month in summer?

Leaving a car parked for a month without driving can have several negative effects on the vehicle. First, the battery may lose charge. Second, the handbrake may become loose. Third, the fluids may deteriorate. Fourth, the tires may deform. If a tire remains in contact with the ground at a single point for an extended period, it can deform, leading to instability while driving. Below are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: Avoid buying tires with old production dates, as rubber deteriorates over time even when unused. 2. Regularly inspect tire pressure and the tire surface for damage during daily use: The sidewalls of tires are particularly vulnerable, and if punctured or cut, they cannot be repaired. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during that period.
