Cold pressure temperature is somewhere around 80 degrees. You fill your tires to max 50 psi in this discussion and temperatures get over 100 degrees, tires will be well above max pressure. Bamb! No more tire.
Baloney…
Tire mfg. suggest that for every 10 degree increase or decrease in ambient temperature, a tire will show a 1 psi change…
If the ambient temp is 80* and you fill the tires to 50 PSI and the ambient temp rises to 100* the ambient temp alone will only cause about a 2 PSI pressure increase…
Cold inflation pressures are engineered while considering the ambient temp changes, sun and road temp effects on the tire… a 20* ambient temp differential would be easily within the normal operating range...
