I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?
If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?
It’s not a bad idea to deflate them if you go through sudden temperature changes but it’s important to remember that tires are porous and will slowly leak air over time so it’s less of an issue in that direction… you also don’t hear about it as much because people tend to bike more in warm weather so it’s more likely for you to go long stretches of time without biking when it’s getting colder.
So there are quite a few reasons why the deflation problem gets talked about more.
