Summer tires 

Most people don’t know this but there are tires designed to take on the summer heat. These tires consist of a mixture of rubber and fillers which creates a better grip on the road. When the summer heat rises, the tires will still hold their shape and stiffness to be optimized for better fuel economy for your vehicle. 

Tune-up your A/C 

The worst thing to happen is not to have air conditioning while driving in the heat. There are a few ways to know that your A/C is about to give out. If you notice hot air blowing out, no pressure or worse, nothing coming out, you should have your A/C check out. Some reasons could be because of Freon leaks, a loose wire, a worn-out filter or excessive heat radiation from your engine. 

Other summer maintenance 

Besides switching out your tires and tuning up your vehicle air conditioner, there are a few other things you should do. Make sure to check out your wiper blades. There is nothing worse than being unable to see during a rainstorm. You should also have your alignment and suspension adjusted.
