The main cause of car tire blowouts in summer is high temperatures. When the weather is hot, tire rubber becomes softer and expands, causing the internal air pressure to rise. Tires are not perfect; if they are already worn or aged, high temperatures make them more prone to cracking. Additionally, summer road temperatures are very high, and driving at high speeds generates even more heat from friction, directly leading to excessive internal pressure and blowouts. Furthermore, mismatched tire pressure is very dangerous, and many people neglect to check it. For example, tire pressure may be normal when the car is cold, but it can exceed the standard when driving in hot weather. Having driven for many years, I’ve seen many blowout accidents on highways, all stemming from these small details. It is recommended to check tire conditions before summer trips, ensure proper tire pressure and no damage, and avoid parking in direct sunlight immediately after long-distance driving, as this can significantly reduce risks.

How to Deal with Leather Seats Getting Too Hot in Summer?

Here are the solutions: 1. Choose parking spots: Try to avoid parking in direct sunlight. Opt for shaded areas under trees or park in underground parking lots to effectively prevent the car interior from overheating due to sun exposure. 2. Seat ventilation: If your car has seat ventilation, turn it on. If you have remote air conditioning start-up, don’t hesitate to use it to cool down the car interior. After the temperature drops, turn off the AC, switch to external air circulation, and wait for a while before turning the AC back on. 3. Change seat covers: Replace the leather seats with silk or cooling fabric covers, or add seat cushions.
