Stay Safe This Summer: How Tire Pressure Affects Your Drive
Tire safety is important all year, but summer heat brings extra risks.
Hot pavement, long drives, and high temperatures can make your tire pressure go up and down. If your tires have too much or too little air, you are more likely to have a blowout, lose control
of your car, or wear out your tires faster.
High tire pressure can also cause uneven wear on your tires. This means buying new tires sooner. The good news? Keeping your tires properly filled and checked can make a big difference in how safe your drive is.
At David’s Automotive Repair, we check your tire pressure, inspect your tires for wear, and help you stay ready for all your summer adventures. A few minutes spent today can help you avoid bigger problems tomorrow.

If your tires keep losing air, there is usually a reason. A small puncture, leaking valve stem, wheel problem, or change in weather can all cause tire pressure to drop.
If your car AC smells musty when you turn it on, moisture may be trapped inside the AC system. That moisture can lead to mold, mildew, or other buildup that causes a bad smell from the vents.
If you smell burning oil while driving , your vehicle may have an oil leak.
