Now fire is raining from the sky. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that some areas of western Rajasthan are going to get severe heat. The mean maximum temperatures for North West and Central India for April 2022 were 35.90 °C and 37.78 °C. In this scorching heat, one has to step out of the house for important work. At the same time, sometimes long distances have to be covered by two-wheeler. In such a situation it is very important to stay tip-top. Because tire bursts often happen in summer. The mileage of the car also decreases. Here we are telling you just 4 tips, so that both your car and tires will be perfect this summer.
1. Less air in tires, but not much
The first and most important tip is to have the right balance of air in the tires of the bike or scooter. In summer, even if there is little air in the tires, it will work. For example, if you put 30 to 35 psi of air in your two-wheeler, then reduce it to less than 30 psi. This is necessary because the road gets very hot in summer. In such a situation, when the tire has friction on it, then it heats up rapidly. This causes the air pressure inside the tire to increase. This is the reason why the tires of many vehicles burst in the summer. A sudden tire burst can also lead to a major accident. Hot tires also increase the chances of getting punctured. If possible, fill nitrogen air in the tire. In such a situation, take care of the air in the tire for the next two months and get it checked before travelling.
2. Also check the tire’s thread, cut
The second tip is also attached to the tire of the vehicle. It is also very important to see how much the tires of the vehicle have worn out. If the threads of the tire are worn out, the chances of getting the tire damaged or punctured increase. The thread of the tire is called that rubber that is raised. Due to this rubber, the tire has better grip on the road and the chances of puncture are also less. Even if your tire has minor cuts, the chances of it bursting are increased. In such a situation, it is also good to get the tire replaced if possible, because the life of that tire does not last more than 100-200 km anyway.

3. Changing Engine Oil Also Necessary
It is important to take care of how much engine oil is left in your two-wheeler, and whether it is correct. For this you can go to any mechanic and get it checked. If the engine oil has run out, or if it has gone bad, get the engine oil changed without delay. This is necessary because with the help of engine oil, the engine of the vehicle runs smoothly. As long as the oil is lubricated, the engine runs better. If its lubricity is reduced, then the load on the engine starts. Due to this it heats up and the chances of damage to the vehicle increase. In this case it is necessary to change the engine oil.

4. Get the Air Filter Checked
Air filter is an essential part of any two-wheeler. However, sometimes we do not pay attention to it. If the air filter malfunctions, then they cannot properly supply air to the engine. Also, this air is not clean. When the right air does not reach the engine, it affects the engine. The engine may be hot, so it may be time for maintenance. Air filters wear out faster during the summer. The reason for this is that due to heat, the shape of the filter starts changing. It doesn’t cost much to replace it. In such a situation, it should be changed once in the summer days.
5. A servicing in summer is a must
Getting the car serviced before the start of summer is a profitable deal. The service will cost you a maximum of Rs 1000, but the summer season will not be able to damage your vehicle. With servicing, almost all the parts of the vehicle are cleaned. Engine oil and coolant are also changed. The car gets washed. Overall, the car becomes smooth everywhere. There is also an advantage of serving that if there is a problem in any part of the vehicle, then that too will be fixed in time.
