Is a car tire temperature of 50 degrees Celsius dangerous?
1 Answers
A car tire temperature of 50 degrees Celsius is not dangerous. Even during the hottest summer days, car tires can withstand temperatures between 90-110 degrees Celsius. Consequences of excessively high tire temperature: When tires are in prolonged contact with high-temperature road surfaces, heat accumulation intensifies, causing rapid deterioration in the mechanical properties of the tire rubber material. On the other hand, due to thermal expansion, excessively high temperatures will increase tire pressure. When the tire strength is insufficient to withstand the pressure, a blowout becomes inevitable. Precautions for driving in high temperatures: Driving duration in hot weather should not be too long. It's advisable to take appropriate breaks every 2 hours or after driving a certain distance, while checking if tire temperature and pressure are too high. When discovering overheated tires with rising pressure, park the car in a shaded or tree-covered area to let the tires cool down and depressurize naturally. Do not deflate or pour cold water on them to avoid accidents like blowouts.
