See this?
Looks fine, right?
Wrong.
As many as half the tires on the road during the summer
are either under-inflated or over-inflated.
Thing is, you can’t always tell just by looking.
Before you head out on a road trip,
make sure you use one of these…
…and fill any tires that are under-inflated
—including the spare—
up to the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Combined with summer heat and high speeds,
an under-inflated tire can cause a blowout
—which can really spoil your vacation plans.
Check the pressure and wear of your tires at least once a month.
And always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your vehicle
and your tires.
This summer,
think ahead,
be smart,
and stay safe.
