Answer:

Why Heat Causes Tires to Expand and Blow Out

Step-by-step explanation:

The air pressure in tires increases as the temperature goes up. ... Such a big difference it can cause a tire to pop. Even if it doesn't give out, over-inflation can cause a tire to prematurely wear and interfere with braking.
