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

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.

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."
