At what temperature does a tire become dangerous?

[VonHarley]

Tire temperatures exceeding 110 degrees Celsius can be dangerous. This is because even during the hottest summer conditions, car tires can typically withstand temperatures between 90-110 degrees Celsius. Consequences of excessively high tire temperatures: When tires remain in prolonged contact with hot road surfaces, heat accumulation intensifies, causing rapid deterioration of the rubber material's mechanical properties. Additionally, due to thermal expansion, high temperatures will increase tire pressure. When the tire's strength becomes insufficient to withstand this pressure, a blowout becomes inevitable. Precautions for driving in high temperatures: During hot weather, avoid prolonged continuous driving. It's recommended to take appropriate breaks every 2 hours or after certain distances, while checking if tire temperature and pressure are too high. If you notice overheating tires with rising pressure, park in a shaded or cool area to allow natural cooling and pressure reduction. Never release air or pour cold water on the tires, as this may lead to blowouts or other accidents.
