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.
What else can I help you with?
Why do the tires of a car get hot when the car is driven?
the friction between the tire & the surface your driving on causes heat and which heats the tire + the air...
Why does the air pressure inside the tires of a car increase when the car is driven?
When a car is driven, the air inside the tires heats up due to friction with the road and the movement of the tire. This increase in temperature causes the air molecules to move faster and spread out, leading to an increase in air pressure inside the tires.
Why do car tires get hot on long trips?
Friction
Which tires are more prone to spin on a front wheel drive car?
ONLY the front tires can spend on a non-all wheel front end driven car.
Why is the air pressure in a car's tires different before and after the car has been driven for an hour?
Because heat is created and it changes the air pressure
What happends when you let hot air out of your car tires?
The tire will go flat.
Why is car's tire hot?
Because it experiences large anounts of friction every time the car is driven
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
Should you check tire pressure when tires are hot or cold?
Cold is what the pressure listed is for. This is usually hard when having driven the car that day so when they are hot just subtract 3-5 psi. Being + or - 3 or 4 psi will have negligible "real world" effect.
Why is air pressure in a cars tires different before amd after the car has been driven for an hour?
Tires create friction, which in turn creates heat. Heated objects expand.
Why is the air pressure in a car's tire different before and after the car has been driven an hour?
Heat is built up while driving and that will increase pressure in the tires.
Why car tires expand on hot days?
Everything expands when it gets hot, contracts when cold including air molecules...tires expand just from the heat of driving down the road as well
