SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Discount Tire, the world’s largest retailer of tires and wheels, wants to make sure drivers across the country are riding on safe tires for their errand runs, weekend getaways or cross-country road trips. During National Tire Safety Week, more than 1,070 Discount Tire stores in 36 states will offer complimentary tire air checks for any driver, along with special promotions and rebates on new tires. Drivers are encouraged to visit their neighborhood Discount Tire to get a free pressure check before hitting the road.

National Tire Safety Week, an annual initiative of the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association, will take place August 31 through September 6.

According to a recent survey conducted by Discount Tire, nearly 50 percent of Americans plan to take a road trip of more than 100 miles in the next 30 days, with over one in two feeling comfortable with the idea of taking a road trip. National Tire Safety Week serves as a reminder for those eager drivers to check their vehicles before hitting the road. To help them prepare, the experts at Discount Tire have four key tire safety tips every driver should know:

1. Check your tires – With most cars sitting idle more than ever this year, it’s important to check your air pressure at least once a month, especially before long trips. Even when tires aren’t used, they can lose one to two PSI (pounds per square inch) of pressure per month.
2. Know their age – The older a tire, the higher its risk of failure. As a tire ages, the rubber becomes brittle, losing elasticity and strength. A tire’s age can be found by checking the DOT number stamped on its sidewall. Discount Tire recommends replacing any tire that’s six years old or older.
3. Check your trunk – Many manufacturers of new vehicles are replacing spare tires with tire-inflation kits that include puncture-coating sealants and air compressors, or even run-flat tires. Check to see what your vehicle has, and make sure you have a roadside-assistance plan.
4. Don’t overload – Before loading your vehicle for a road trip, check the manufacturer specifications for load-carrying capacity. Overloading has an impact similar to driving on underinflated tires.

«Summer is a crucial time for tire safety. The summer heat can play a factor in overinflating your tires or even tire failures,» said Tom Williams, senior vice president of customer experience at Discount Tire. «It’s important to make sure your tires are ready to handle the extra miles you may travel while enjoying the warmer weather. We encourage all drivers to know how to properly check and maintain their tires, or to stop by one of our stores for help.»

During National Tire Safety Week, all Discount Tire customers can schedule a touchless service appointment to have their tires inspected by one of their trusted experts.

A second-generation driver Ashley will be competing in his first final round versus TJ Zizzo in conjunction with the U.S. Nationals.

«Teaming up with MANSCAPED is a perfect fit for my team. Their products are about precision engineering, power and design just like my race car,» said Ashley, a two-time national event winner in the Top Alcohol Dragster class. «Comfort is also something I am always thinking about especially when I am going over 320 mph.»
