Hot Tires

The hot weather is testing your tires.  Older tires that have developed stress cracks can fail under the hot conditions we are experiencing.

Tire repairmen say every summer they see a spike in business and this year is no different.  They recommend you check your tire for cracks and whole you are at it, make sure your tread is not worn down.

Every tire has a tread wear bar on it, if the tread is even with the wear bar, you may need new wheels.

Check the links below to find the date the tire was made and for tips on how to check the wear.
