Something extraordinary is unfolding
Before you depart on any summer road trips, ensuring that your car is in top condition is a necessity. One of the most important types of maintenance, particularly in the summer, is INFINITI tire service. Booking your appointment during this time of year ensures that your vehicle handles the heat of the road without compromising safety and performance. Learn why it’s important with Southwest INFINITI.
Heat-Related Tire Pressure Fluctuations
The extreme summer heat in our area causes the air in your tires to expand rapidly, which negatively impacts your tire pressure levels. Overinflated tires reduce your contact patch with the road, which leads to uneven tread wear, reduced handling and control, and an increased risk of highway blowouts. On the other hand, driving on underinflated tires during summer heat causes sidewall flexing and internal heat buildup. Visiting our service center for routine tire pressure and tread checks helps to make sure that your tires continue to maintain ideal grip.
Improved Tread Traction for Summer Rainstorms
In addition to heat, summer often brings more frequent rainstorms to Houston. This can make highway driving unsafe, which is accentuated when your tires are in poor health. Sufficient tread depth is critical for channeling water away from your tire’s footprint to prevent dangerous hydroplaning. In addition, our professional tire rotations spread tread wear evenly across both axles, which extends the lifespan of your tires and helps maintain braking performance. If we find that your tread has worn down, we’ll install new tires.
