Hi,
Did I miss something?
Heat air, it expands.
In a container (tire) no room to expand.
Therefore pressure goes UP.
Boyle's law or something, can't remember.
Anyway, if I leave my tires in the sun the pressure goes up.
If I jump on the brakes in an airplane, the pressures go way, way up until
the fuse plugs melt to let the tire down without exploding. 806,000lbs from
185mph to 0 in about 5000ft
= many millions of foot lbs energy absorbed = heat = pop!
Oh, tires work at 180 psi too
