Why does pressure in tires increase on hot days?
Because if you heat a gas (the air in the tyre) without letting it expand the pressure will rise.
Do wires expand?
Yes as though during the hot days the wires due to the hot heat that make it expand.
Why do car tires get hot on long trips?
Friction
How do hot days affect air pressure?
Tire pressure will go up as much as 6 or 7 psi depending on heat. this is because the air molecules in your tires expand as the heat increases.
Does gas expand on hot days?
No. a gas does not expand on a hot day because all of the chemicals compress in order to keep it the size and shape
Why does an automobile tire burst on a hot summer day?

Why do car tires get hot?
Tires of car get hot at driving time because the wheels are flex repeatedly as the rotate. The tire deforms at the road surface and compresses and the other reason of hot is the lack of air pressure causes greater deflection, and more movement in the rubber
Why drivers are advised to decrease the pressure of their vehicle's tires when they travel during hot days?
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.

Can tires on your car lose air weekly in a hot climate?
In a hot climate air expands, causing more pressure, not less. If your tires are continually losing pressure you have a leak that needs to be fixed.
