The hot sun, the steaming asphalt and the long journey are all challenges, especially if you are traveling with children. Hankook experts provide useful tips to help you enjoy your summer trips safely and carefree.
Let’s go on time!
Timing is key. The early morning departure works for many families, as the children are still sleepy and can easily rest longer in the car. In the evening, we can put them to bed in clothes suitable for travel, so there is no need to worry about getting dressed in the morning. During longer car journeys, make stops where the children can get out, exercise and play.
Let’s take care of safety and comfort during the trip!
Before leaving, we check the child seat and seat belts, and activate the child locks on the doors. Pack toys, books, things that can keep the children busy during the trip.
For a pleasant trip, plan the route in advance, paying attention to rest areas and gas stations. We check the condition of the first aid kit, take basic medicines and wet wipes with us. Don’t forget to pack enough water and healthy snacks to avoid unplanned stops. It is also important to prepare for the expected weather, so prepare clothing and equipment suitable for the weather.
Rest is not wasted time!
Don’t forget the regular stops so that everyone can stretch out and rest a bit. Make sure the driver is rested and take turns behind the wheel if necessary to avoid fatigue.
Let’s prepare the documents!
We check that we have all the necessary documents, such as the driver’s license, personal documents, driving license and insurance papers, and store them in an easily accessible place.
Let’s check our car!
It is important to regularly check the proper technical condition of the vehicle. Before we go on a long trip, it is worth paying special attention to a few things. One such example is proper tire pressure, which is essential for safe driving. Too low or too high pressure not only shortens the life of the tires, but also affects the vehicle’s stability and fuel consumption. In the heat of summer, the tire pressure can change more easily, so it is worth checking it regularly and before every long trip and setting it to the level recommended by the manufacturer.
We also check the condition of the tires! Tire tread depth is critical to safety. For summer tires, the tread pattern is smoother with fewer deep grooves to ensure maximum grip on dry and wet road surfaces. The minimum recommended groove depth for summer tires is 3 mm.
Let’s choose the right tire for the season!
The use of seasonal tires is important because different weather conditions require different rubber compounds and tread patterns. For summer tires, the tread pattern is smoother with fewer deep grooves to ensure maximum grip on dry and wet road surfaces. THE Hankook summer tires specially designed for hot weather conditions, thus ensuring excellent grip and handling even on hot asphalt. Choosing the right tires significantly increases the safety and performance of your vehicle.
