What is the maximum temperature a car tire should not exceed?

Tires normally operate within a temperature range of 90 to 110 degrees Celsius, and it's best not to exceed 110 degrees Celsius. Here is some relevant information: 1. Do not use water to cool down: When encountering a situation where the internal temperature of the tire rises rapidly, never use water to cool the tire. This is because tire rubber, under high temperatures, can undergo accelerated oxidation with oxygen and moisture in the air if watered, making the tire brittle, shortening its lifespan, and reducing safety. 2. Tire temperature: Tire temperature is determined by driving conditions and weather. In summer, road surface temperatures often exceed 70 degrees Celsius. Cars driving for long periods in hot summer conditions can experience tires with damage or weak spots that are prone to blowouts due to excessive tire pressure.

I've been driving for many years, and it's best not to let tire temperatures exceed 120 degrees—going beyond that becomes dangerous. On highways or during hot summer days, friction can drive tire temperatures up to over 100 degrees. Once it surpasses 120 degrees, the rubber starts to age and deform, drastically increasing the risk of a blowout. I remember once on a long trip, the onboard tire temperature monitor lit up red, showing over 130 degrees—I immediately slowed down and pulled over. Thankfully, nothing happened. Regular maintenance should include checking tire pressure to ensure it's neither too high nor too low. During long trips, take breaks and feel the tires with your hand; if they're too hot to touch, be cautious. Overloading or driving too fast are the main culprits for temperature spikes. In the end, safe driving is what truly matters.

I love playing with cars in my spare time, and it's generally safer to keep the tire temperature below 150 degrees Celsius. Exceeding this limit, such as during high-speed continuous racing or aggressive driving on gravel roads, can cause the inner layers of the tire to separate, leading to a potentially dangerous blowout. Pay extra attention in hot weather, as direct sunlight when parked outdoors can heat up the tires. I've found that using an infrared thermometer to measure the tread temperature is quite accurate—if it exceeds 100 degrees, it's time to slow down. New or modified tires can handle slightly higher temperatures, but aged tires are more susceptible to heat damage. Remember, staying within safe temperature limits, regularly replacing tires, and checking tread wear are key to safety.

Temperature control for tires is crucial, and I believe keeping it below 120 degrees is acceptable. Once it exceeds 120 degrees, the tire material will soften and wear out, leading to tread separation or blowouts. For instance, during high-speed, heavy-load driving, the temperature rises rapidly. It's advisable to regularly check the tire condition and use simple equipment to measure the temperature, avoiding prolonged hot driving. Maintaining moderate tire pressure and good driving habits can effectively reduce the temperature.
