Heat can cause gasses to expand, which means that in closed spaces like tires, the pressure can rise. If a tire's already at high pressures before, the heat may cause it to tear, or pop. Obviously, that's bad.

Why drivers are advised to decrease the pressure og their wheel's tire when they travel during hot day?

Compressed air normally expands 7psi after a tire warms up & contains moisture (not good for rubber & heat). Decreasing air pressure allows for the tire to expand while driving, especially on hot days, but also decreases gas mileage as well. It is not necessary to do this. I recommend asking your local tire center or auto dealer about replacing the air with "nitrogen gas". The temperature of the tire is greatly reduced & fuel economy increases using "nitrogen gas".


What is the recommended tire pressure for a 92 Honda accord?
