Why does the front wheel of a minivan get hot?
1 Answers
The main reason for tire heating is that the faster the speed and the greater the weight of the vehicle, the higher the degree of heat generated by braking. The heat produced by brake friction causes the tire temperature to rise. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: In hot weather, it is generally advisable to stop the vehicle after driving on the highway for about two hours to allow it to cool down. Remember not to use methods like splashing cold water on the tires, as this can cause cracks and shorten the tire's lifespan. 2. Hazards: Tires generate heat after prolonged high-speed driving, so a slight increase in temperature and inner tire pressure is normal. During the rolling process, tires consume energy, part of which is absorbed by the tire and converted into heat. If the heat is not dissipated in time, causing the tire temperature to rise excessively (exceeding 95°C), it can lead to tire delamination and even tire blowouts.
