Increasing Temperature Due To Low Tire Pressure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. 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 (111.8 mph).
A - Normal range: when maintaining the specified tire pressure, the temperature remains stable.
B - Danger zone: when the air pressure is 0.3 bar (4.35 psi) 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
