Simplify Your Driving Throughout Summer

The hot temperature and uncomfortable surroundings can make people irritated, making summer a challenging time for drivers. You’ve definitely encountered a few emergencies while driving where you struggled to react. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to simplify driving throughout the summer. Here are 3 simple towing tips you can follow to help you get through summer:

Fill your tires to the maximum tire pressure.

Check your tires’ age and degree of abrasion. Tires typically have a six-year warranty from the manufacturer. A fresh set is required if they are older than six years. After making sure your tires are in good condition, pressurize them to the highest possible level. Tires, especially trailer tires, deteriorate in heat. Running down the road, tires produce a lot of heat. Add to that the fact that you are dragging a large object and hot weather and pavement. The tire will run cooler with more air in it. Also, remember to include a spare tire.

Inspect the wheel bearings.

The most common factors that can leave you stranded on the side of the road are worn-out tires or wheel bearings. A wheel bearing inspection should be performed every year, especially on boat trailers. Wheel bearings can be seriously harmed by water. Your car’s mechanic can replace the grease in the wheel bearings during an annual inspection. Every two to three years, we advise examining campers and utility trailers.

Perform an all-over inspection.

Look closely at the lights, mirrors, and hitch connections, and look even closer at your brakes. Many large campers or trailers have integrated brake systems. It’s vital to ensure the brake system works properly, especially if you plan to explore hilly or mountainous terrain. Make sure everything is tied down tight with all belongings secured.
