Severe heat has begun in many parts of India, with temperatures exceeding 40°C in several districts. This extreme weather poses serious risks, particularly for vehicle owners. If you own a car, it is crucial to take certain precautions to ensure safety.
Regular Inspection
As summer intensifies, driving on highways can put significant stress on your car tyres. Regularly inspect them for cuts, cracks, or any signs of damage. If the tread depth has reduced, replace the tyre immediately.
With rising temperatures and continuous road travel, tyre pressure can increase rapidly. Therefore, check the tyre pressure frequently and maintain it at the level recommended by the car manufacturer.
Consider Nitrogen Instead of Regular Air
To keep tyres cool during summer, consider using nitrogen gas instead of regular air. Nitrogen offers better performance and durability, helps regulate internal tyre temperature, and reduces the risk of tyre bursts. It also minimises moisture build-up, protecting the tyre valve and rim from damage. Since nitrogen is non-flammable, it further lowers the risk of fire.
Drive In Limit
Driving at high speeds during summer can cause tyres to overheat and burst. Always adhere to speed limits and avoid overloading your vehicle, as excess weight puts additional pressure on tyres, increasing the risk of blowouts.
Cautious While Driving On Rough Terrain
Bad roads with potholes and sharp stones are also a major cause of tyre damage. Be cautious while driving on rough terrain. Check your spare tyre regularly and ensure its air pressure is correct.
