The hot, dry pavement can do a number to your shoes, and in a similar vein, the warm weather can have some significant effects on your car's tires. We know that you didn't invest your hard-earned money in a new Lincoln (outfitted in shiny, new wheels, of course) to see them wear and tire in the sun's merciless rays.

That's why it's important to keep up with some car care tips to ensure that you're preventing irreversible damage and costly repairs as the result of a heat wave. One important chore is to routinely check your vehicle's tire pressure with either an analog or digital gauge. Check the pressure only when the tires are cool, and make sure it reaches the recommended tire pressure for you particular Lincoln model, which you can find either in the owner's manual or the door jam.
