This happened

My tires used to regularly go flat after being in a hot car all day. Not sure the issue but I wonder if the heat melted the adhesive in some way? Worn bead? Maybe heat, pressure, stretchy rubber? Had a rear tire explode out of nowhere while riding on plain ol grass after i filled it with CO2. Retaped the rims, new tires and haven't had an issue though I'll bring my bike inside instead of letting it bake in the parking lot.
 
My bike is in my car all the time, except for when I'm riding it. I crack my windows on hot days while I'm at work unless it might rain. In the summer, I need to add Stans every few weeks, presumably because the heat dries it up faster. Otherwise I've never had any problems.
 
wow this thread geek'd out.

i bet its a bead thing. i have seen tubed tires blow off the rim while riding along too.
 
Perhaps you have been ignoring it and it is simply lashing out in need of attention. If this is the case, putting it in the corner will not work. It will just continue to seek attention in other ways.

This is simple. Using the formula provided, your car is actually a black hole. Sell it.
 
I don't see anything in there boiling. Ammonia is trace and not sure what it is bound to.

The sun can bubble asphalt. Tires are black. So softening, Chem and pressure change. I gotta throw a blanket over the bike!
 
I honestly don't know what happened and I'm just happy I was t in the car when it did what it did. I do t know why it was only that tire my rear is fine sitting at 18psi. I should have checked the pressure with my digital guage but I wasn't thinking this would happen so maybe the guage on the floor pun I have is basically a piece of shit.

I don't think temp rise alone could cause this.

PV=nRT but T has to be absolute temp (Kelvin or Rankine). If car goes from 60 F to 160 F in the sun (seems reasonable?) that's 289 K to 344 K.
P2/P1 = T2/T1, P1 was 25 psi.
T1/T2 = 344/289 = 1.2
25*1.2 = P2 = 30 psi

30 psi shouldn't blow a tire off a rim, seems to me like there must be some other problem.
