Hot Tire Pressure

…then monitored the ambient temperatures, tire temperatures and tire pressures through the day. As the day's temperatures went from 67 to 85 Fahrenheit, the tire that was kept in the shade went from our starting pressure of 35 psi to a high of 36.5 psi. The tire that was placed in the sun and subject…

…inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it will often appear that too much tire pressure is present. However, this extra "hot" tire pressure is temporary and should NOT be bled off to return the tire pressure to within the maximum inflation pressure value branded…

…allow tires to be more efficient at radiating heat and the tires will run cooler, building up less hot tire pressure. In this case, the 3-5 psi higher recommended inflation pressure increase helps offset the reduced hot tire pressures resulting from less heat buildup. And finally, all tire pressures…

…tire's pressure. Autocross inflation pressures should be adjusted warm, road racing inflation pressures should be adjusted hot. For racing or track events, your rain tires' starting inflation pressure should be higher than your dry tires. Tires are part of your suspension. Using lower profile tires…

…Do Not Release Hot Tire Pressure if any of these variables could be the cause of measured tire pressure exceeding the maximum psi branded on the tire's sidewall by the 2, 4 or 6 psi indicated above for the various conditions. This temporary pressure increase is expected and designed into the tire's…

…the tire. If your tires are rolling over past the tread pattern, increase negative camber, increase inflation pressure and reduce slip angle while driving to keep the work concentrated in the tread area. Check Your Hot Tire Pressures As soon as you come off the track check your hot tire pressures…

…all tires white sidewall up will allow the oils from each tire's black sidewall to migrate into the white rubber of the tire below it. * Place the tires in a cool, dry location. It is better to store tires in a dry basement or climate-controlled workshop than in a standard garage, storage shed, hot…

…if trailer tires are underinflated or overloaded. Since all tires lose inflation pressure over time or due to dropping ambient temperatures, it's important to check trailer tire inflation pressures before each trip. It is best to set inflation pressures in the morning before tires are driven on…

…catastrophic tire failure. The inflation pressure of spare tires should be checked monthly along with the rest of the set. Vehicles equipped with a full-size matching wheel and spare tire should use the vehicle's five-tire pattern at every tire rotation. Not only will this prevent the spare tire…

…caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire." While a spare tire may still have a new tread, it's an old tire. Utilizing the Spare Tire If a…

…of a hot tire mold. Tires Manufactured Before 2000 The Tire Identification Number for tires produced prior to 2000 was based on the assumption that tires would not be in service for ten years. While they were required to provide the same information as today's tires, the week and year the tire was…
