Heat and Tires

 A very famous tire engineer once stated, “Heat is to tires as Kryptonite is to Superman”…in other words, its worst enemy. Taken all together, hot summer temperatures, under inflated tires, heavy loads, and traveling at high speeds and you have a recipe for tire disaster….that is exactly why you see more alligators on the highway in the summer season. During the winter or spring months, a tire that was being run under inflated would have heat buildup that would dissipate into the atmosphere as the ambient temperature is cold.

The Heat is On!

This crazy weather continues this year and the Heat is setting record temperatures across North America.

There are several types of driver distraction:

• Visual – takes your eyes off the road. This can include looking for something in the vehicle, electronic devices or reading advertising along the road.
• Manual – takes your hands off the wheel. Smoking, eating and drinking in the vehicle are common manual distractions.
• Auditory – keeps you from hearing important sounds from outside the vehicle.
