Experts at Germany’s ADAC, the largest automobile club, advise drivers to increase tire pressure by 0.2 bar when temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius. High temperatures and heated asphalt can significantly impact tire integrity, increasing the risk of deformation. This simple adjustment mitigates potential damage and reduces the likelihood of accidents. The recommendation aims to counteract the effects of heat on tire pressure, which can lead to structural weaknesses. Failing to adjust tire pressure during heatwaves could result in costly repairs, potentially exceeding 1,600 lei. Maintaining correct tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety, particularly during periods of extreme heat.
