In hot weather, how often should you inspect your tires?

• A. Every 2 hours or every 100 miles
• B. Every 4 hours
• C. Every hour
• D. Only before trips

Answer: (A)

Heat makes tires more vulnerable: they can overheat, pressure can rise, and small issues can become dangerous quickly. Because of that, you should inspect tires every two hours or every 100 miles, whichever comes first. This regular check helps you catch low pressure, cuts, bulges, or tread problems caused or worsened by heat before they lead to a blowout. Doing this only before trips or at longer intervals in hot weather doesn’t give you enough monitoring time during a drive, when conditions can change rapidly.
