Why Tire Pressure and Tread Matter More in the Summer

Your tires are the only part of your car that touches the road, so they need to be in great shape—especially during Florida’s hot summer months. At Auto Medics in St. Johns, FL, we always remind drivers how important tire pressure and tread depth are for safety and performance.

Hot weather causes the air inside your tires to expand. If your tires are already overinflated, this can lead to blowouts. On the other hand, underinflated tires wear out faster and reduce your gas mileage. That’s why checking your tire pressure regularly in the summer is so important.

Tire tread is also a big safety factor. Worn-out tread makes it harder for your tires to grip the road, especially on wet surfaces. Summer thunderstorms in Florida can lead to slippery roads, so having proper tread helps reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

At Auto Medics, we can quickly inspect your tires for proper pressure, tread depth, and signs of uneven wear. We’ll let you know if it’s time to rotate, balance, or replace them. Keeping your tires in good shape not only keeps you safe but also helps your car handle better and improves fuel efficiency.

Make tire maintenance part of your summer routine. Visit Auto Medics in St. Johns, FL, for a tire inspection you can trust. Our team has the experience to keep you rolling safely all season long.
