It is essential to check tires and brushes in summer

It is always essential to drive with the correct tire pressure, but in summer it is even more so. Heat tends to expand all materials so it is possible for the tire pressure to drop just as if an increased load were applied to the truck bed or trailer. In addition to the correct pressure, it is essential to check the wear of the tires before starting a route or itinerary. In general, the tires must be replaced when the thickness of the wheel pattern is less than three millimeters or when the indicators located on the tread are at the level of the warning light.

The high temperatures of the summer cause an increase in the temperature of the asphalt of the roads which in turn translates into a greater increase in the wear of the tire compound, which risks the risk of suffering a blowout. The unpredictable summer storms are also especially damaging to the wheel covers, since when the intense and punctual summer rainfall occurs, the road accumulates a lot of water and only tires in good condition have a good evacuation capacity.

A very practical and economical way of being able to know the tire pressure at all times is to have an inflation gun or pressure gauge, which in addition to giving an exact reading of the tire pressure also allows them to be inflated and deflated Taking advantage of the summer sales season, Recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios España have put up for sale a pressure gauge of the Michelin brand at an extraordinary price: 69.49 euros, an offer that incorporates a 15% discount compared to the catalog price.

Another of the elements of the truck or industrial vehicle that must be checked and checked in summer are the windshield wiper blades, very sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. With the summer heatwave and increased exposure to sunlight, the brushes lose effectiveness and crack.
