This was today on I-635W (North of Dallas)

N-Dub

WOW that's a warm day!!



But also, Holysuperhightirepressures Batman!

Left rear at 50psi! You must have drifted around the corners!

You guys in TX think its hot? How bout Kuwait

raclaims

Wowsa...isnt' that like 140 degrees F?

maverick

I was just there last week, the heat is unbelievable. July and August it runs 65-75deg C! It doesn't help matters when they flare off 40M SCF/D of gas! It was good to get back the nice cool weather in Texas

That is insane....how does the AC do at that temp? Then again, it could be 100 inside the car and it's feel cool....

Check that rear tire pressure - 50 psi is the max...

OneManTX

Thanks, cold its at 42. That's why included the PSI - I was impressed with how much the tire pressure goes up with the heat. They are filled with Nitrogen which I thought I was supposed to fluctuate less with heat or something, but then again all gasses expand, and, uh ambient air is mostly nitrogen anyway so ??...my last physics class was a while ago. Maybe one of the gas-passers on this forum could answer that one.

70 deg C is almost 160 deg F! If that is the case, I should not be complaining that I am in Las Vegas where its 105 deg.

But its a dry heat!

For our soldiers, it was "only" 110 degrees in Iraq this morning.

Frino

Tire pressure way too high for summer temps....I use 31/37 cold (nitro filled) which increases to approx 39/44.

For your tires, the Ideal Gas law (used to be known as 'Boyle's Law):

"The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The modern form of the equation is:

pV=nRT

where p is the absolute pressure of the gas; V is the volume of the gas; n is the amount of substance of the gas, usually measured in moles; R is the gas constant (which is 8.314472 JK−1mol−1 in SI units); and T is the absolute temperature."

And I thought we were hot at 115 yesterday
