Tire Temperature, Rising When Tires Pressure Is Too Low
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The diagram shows the temperature behavior of a tire at speed of 180 km/h.
A - Normal range: When maintaining the specified tire pressure, the temperature remains stable.
B - Danger zone: When the air pressure is 0.3 bar below specification, the temperature rises to above 120°C (248°F) at higher speeds.
C - Critical temperature limit: The tire defect is triggered.
T - Temperature in °C.
t - Driving time in minutes.
