Tires face heavier wear in warm months as cars travel farther and faster. Assess tire mileage and age to estimate remaining service life, using tread condition and sidewall integrity to judge reliability. Plan spare capacity accordingly with more and better spares if tires are old or worn.
Automobile Gossip: August Tire Wear and Engine Tips
