Summer tire half-load pressure is the safest

Driving in summer, the most “baked” inspection is the tire except for the paint. Especially in the south of Sichuan, the name “small city” is not only due to the confluence of the two rivers, but it is also famous for the hot summer in Chongqing. According to media reports, the highest ground temperature in Luzhou over the years can even reach 60 degrees or more in some locations. Driving on such a high-temperature ground, how can you ensure the safety of your car?

Pneumatic: Semi-load air pressure is the safest

"In summer driving, tire safety is the most critical." A mechanic professional said that in the summer, the thermal expansion and contraction of the tire is the most obvious. The vehicle can't overfill the tire, usually only half the air pressure is added. If a tire pressure monitoring system is installed on the car, checking the tire pressure on a daily basis is relatively simple; if there is no tire pressure monitoring system, it needs to be judged by experience.

“After you get in the car, first of all feel the body is stable, there is no direction to a bit shorter, if there is, that tire pressure is not enough there.” Fei Ming said, before each car, should check the tire pressure, Whether the tire shell has cracks or bulges, these are the most basic traffic safety awareness.

Cooling: not directly with water

On the high-speed road in summer, it is often seen that large truck drivers use a pipe to cool the tires while driving. Professionals say that such an approach is not desirable. It will not only reduce the tire's life span, but also cause tire puncture. If you are forced to drive on a high-temperature road, it's important to remember that your time should not be too long.

"A long time the car is driving on the road under the scorching sun, the tires are subjected to a more 'roofing' test," said Fei Ming. It is better to stop the car in a cool place and keep the tires natural. Cool down.

Relevant persons reminded that it is important not to cool the tires directly with cold water in order to hurry. This will not only reduce the life of the tires, but will even cause punctures and affect the safety of driving.
