Walnut roads and your tires
Built on the hills
Walnut sits on the southern slopes of the San Jose Hills, and many neighborhoods are on curving, sloped streets. All that climbing and turning wears the front tires first.
Valley Boulevard
Before the freeways, the road from Brea Canyon met Valley Boulevard near Walnut and ran east to Pomona. Valley still does that job today. Long, straight, and lots of lights.
Mt. SAC meet days
Mt. San Antonio College sits on Walnut's border with Pomona. The Mt. SAC Relays in April and the cross country invitational in October bring big crowds to Hilmer Lodge Stadium. Sort out a slow leak before those weekends, not during them.
Summer heat
Average highs are about 90°F in July and 92°F in August, and Walnut has recorded 117°F. Heat raises pressure through the afternoon, so check your tires cold.
