I only had the privilege of changing one set out here at home! :( Another was replaced in August in Mesa, Az. in an asphalt parking lot.....very hot is an understatement! :) The most recent, was in a truck stop parking lot, 50 miles south of Lincoln, Ne. on a low temperature record setting March morning.

Having an available spare , may stop the breakage! memtb
