SUMMARY: Driving in extremely hot temperatures causes roadways and tires to heat up, leading to increased tire pressure and a higher risk of popping. This is why more popped tires are seen on interstates during summer. Gary Gardner from Southern Tire Mart advises drivers to check air pressures and the age of their tires before hitting the road for safety. Additionally, Southern Tire Mart offers free tire inspections for those unsure about their tire condition.
