Tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road. In a climate like Miami — hot sun, sudden rainstorms, and slippery roads — tire condition directly affects your safety.
✅ Heat Causes Faster Wear
Road temperatures can exceed 140°F in summer. This makes rubber soften and degrade faster, increasing blowout risk — especially at highway speeds.
✅ Check Tread Depth Regularly
Low tread = poor grip during storms. The minimum legal tread depth is 2/32 of an inch, but we recommend replacement at 4/32 for wet-road safety. If the “penny test” shows Lincoln’s head clearly, it’s time for new tires.
✅ Keep Pressure Perfect
Under-inflated tires waste fuel and overheat — the main cause of tire failure. Over-inflated tires have less traction and can skid in rain. Our shop checks and adjusts pressure to manufacturer specs for optimal performance.
✅ Rotate and Balance
Uneven wear leads to rough rides and early tire replacement costs. Regular rotation helps tires wear evenly so they last longer and perform better.
At Miami AutoWorks, we provide free tread inspections and honest advice — no upselling, just safe driving for you and your passengers.
