Keeping your tires in proper
condition helps save money and, of course, avoid accidents. Understanding how
temperature affects tires and their pressure is imperative for car maintenance.
Tire pressure is the amount of air in your tires. This is measured in
pounds per square inch, or psi. The recommended pressure level is usually
listed in the owner's manual.
Changes in the air temperature affect your tire
pressure. For every 10-degree fluctuation in temperature, your tires gain
or lose one pound of pressure. This makes it important to consistently check
your levels because changes in the season will affect your pressure. A tire
that is inflated just right at the start of August may become underinflated as
the winter months begin.
The heat from friction created by the contact
between your tires and the road will increase tire pressure. As the temperature
of your tires rise, so will the pressure levels. This increase can cause
overinflated tires to blow or underinflated tires to appear acceptable. Check
your tire pressure often and stay with all regularly scheduled maintenance with
your QuickTrick™ Alignment Product.
Stay safe, have better performance & save some money!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! See you next
week!!!
