With temperatures rising, the last thing you want is to be stranded on the side of the road because of a blown tire. 

Experts say that you should check your tires before heading out on a hot day in the desert.

Tires only last about 4 to 6 years typically in the desert. Drivers should check their tires for cracking.

Cracks can lead to a tire seperating, creating a dangerous situation for the driver and passengers.
