If you're planning a long drive to cooler weather, and heading to a higher elevation, you might be wondering what happens to your tires during a road trip when it’s historically hot.His professional recommendation about tire care in extreme heat is to start checking your tire pressure every month, especially with extreme temperatures and monsoon storms looming.
“Look for that specification [inside your driver-side door], and check it at least once a month, or if you’re headed to high country and coming back to the Valley where temps are extreme, you’re going to have a fluctuation in pressure. Driver side door is where those specs are at,” he said. Leutz says old tires can bulge, or swell, and regardless of distance, he suggests changing them every five years but modern tires don’t melt — even in this heat.What drivers can look for in this heat are tire vulnerabilities. If the tread is even with the wear bars of your tire, it’s time to replace it. And like groceries, some tires might have a four-digit expiration date.
