Did you know tires can lose as much as 5%/week while sitting?
Tires with low pressures can actually deform. If left for too long, this can cause real problems. Ranging from permanent vibrations to overheating and failure. You definitely wouldn't want any of those on your car, right? What about a loved one's?
If you leave your car sitting, undriven for 4 months, you could lose 50% or more.
Modern cars now can inform you of tire pressure loss, but they still can't air up the tires for you. Not to mention move the car to prevent flat spots.
Tires aren't cheap or easy, but a little maintenance can really go a long way.
Just a friendly reminder as summer comes on. Make a plan, ease your mind.
