Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The pressures recommended by manufacturers always refer to cold tires. While driving, friction against the asphalt and the constant deformation of the outer tire generate heat, which causes the air inside to expand and the pressure to rise naturally. This increase is built into the design of the tire and is perfectly safe. A hot tire must never be deflated: if air is released to adjust it to the cold value, once it cools down it will be underinflated below the safety minimum, drastically increasing the risk of overheating, of the tire coming off the rim or of a blowout. Nor is it necessary to stop the journey until it cools down.
