Answer options
- AAfter every 3 hours or 150 miles of driving
- BAfter every 2 hours or 100 miles of driving Correct
- CAfter every 4 hours or 200 miles of driving
Why
Heat drives up tire temperature and air pressure and raises the risk of a blowout, so on hot days stop about every two hours or 100 miles to look the tires over. Check inflation and mounting, and never release air from a tire that is hot.
