Why the tires of a car get hot when the car is driven?
The simple answer is friction. Spinning tires are coming into contact with the road. The road's surface is not perfectly smooth -- it has a certain amount of roughness so the tires can grip and propel the car forward. Any time you have friction between two surfaces, and one of those surfaces moves to overcome that friction, a certain amount of energy from the process is lost as heat.
