Does heat influence tire wear?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
**Heat** affects **tire wear** in several ways:
- **High temperatures**: During the summer, tires tend to wear out more quickly due to the increase in temperature. Heat causes the rubber of the tires to become softer, which increases wear when in contact with the road.
- **Inflation pressure**: If the inflation pressure is lower than recommended, the tire heats up more and deforms, which accelerates its wear. The ambient heat can exacerbate this effect, causing the tires to wear out even faster.
Therefore, it is important to monitor tire pressure and take additional precautions during hot days to minimize wear.
