Can excessive heat contribute to tyre deterioration or wear?

Correct answer

Yes, it can contribute to deterioration or wear.

Yes, it can; the effect depends on tyre, load, pressure and usage conditions. There is no fixed increase applying to every tyre. Check pressure cold and use the manufacturer’s recommendation for the load. Pressure rises as a tyre warms: do not deflate it to reduce a hot reading to the recommended cold value.
