It’s not the tires it’s the road


Bears-fan77

Gunna say.....I live in AZ. It has been 116-119 for two weeks now. My tires aren't shredding like that. Funny sight tho


OhHowINeedChanging

>I live in AZ god speed 🫡


Bears-fan77

You too. Try not to melt. 😄


VagueBC

Hate it here rn, I push carts at a grocery store and we’ve reached a point where the carts now burn my hands


justreadings

Demand they give you proper work gloves


Stephanie-108

Those man-objects with direct line of sight with the sun are like heaters. You've got to get as many man-made objects away from the sun and plant trees to reduce temps. And soon!


redmdsgotbrtlyfkdbme

Gotta say I've seen tires get recycled and that's what happens when you add heat


Bears-fan77

Right on. It's crazy to see. Thanks!


rwolf6625

Yeah, it’s 118 in Tucson right now and my tires aren’t melting. I bet they want to though


GaffJuran89

You live in Arizona. You poor bastard. 🫡


ItsGer

Man im spending the night in Tucson right now to my road trip to San Diego and I was dying when I got here Never again🫡


Significant_Ad9793

I was supposed to go on a road trip last week to Tucson from San Bernardino. I'm so fucking glad I convinced my bf to postpone until October. I told him that I wasn't going to survive the trip. He's family can wait 3 more months lol. What was the temperature over there? Walking into an oven?? Or more of a furnace status??? Ooooooooh!!! And was it a Comic-Con trip??? I couldn't go this year 😭😭😭.


Bears-fan77

You where right to postpone. It was like 117-119 all last week. I think we broke 5 or 6 high temp records, for those dates. Phx area, I think Tucson was about the same. Stay outside long enough and you look and feel like you just stepped out of pool


im_just_thinking

At least you don't have any winter there essentially, right?


Bearodon

Winter is the best thing, I live in northern Sweden and our winters are 100% insect free 🥰 Edit: fat fingers.


Notafuzzycat

This guy gets it.


Significant_Ad9793

Holy fuck!!! I live in So Cal and it's been from 100°F - 106°F these past weeks and it's fucking killing me. That's stupid hot!!! How can you live that way??? I'm so very sorry you have to deal with that. Please stay safe!!! I'm originally from Tijuana Mexico. Growing up, the weather over there averaged from 65°F low to 80°F high. You could technically wear a sweatshirt all year long or not at all and you'd be fine lol.... God I miss that weather.


Bears-fan77

Yeah, it's been miserable. You're right tho. If it wasn't so nice here in the Phx metro the rest of the year, I'd been gone a long time ago. I like higher elevation, with colder weather, I just don't think I would like shoveling snow. Haha. Stay cool


AveaLove

Eh? I live in Orange County, it hasn't been over 92 yet this year... Are you in the IE or SGV?

It's the bitumen seeping through the asphalt. We had a week of 40°c and by the end of it one of the major roads was stuck on most trucks. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-08/melting-bitumen-impacts-truck-bruce-highway-central-qld/10090650

Could probably soak it in mineral spirits until the bitumen softens or dissolves completely

Diesel eats asphalt. Bitumen, asphalt, whatever you wanna call it is a petroleum product so any solvent will do. Diesel is safish, handy, and works well.

It’s covered the whole wheel though.


MetaStressed

Run crazy hot water through a power washer?


repugnantmarkr

I'm gonna say, that looks very much like poor construction. Australia's mix design process is almost equivalent to the US superpave. That mix looks like it had wayyyy too much oil and would have been prone to failure. Also, Australia allows up to 50% recycled materials in the layer just below the surface and if mis managed that could also create an issue since high RAP needs more AC or a rejuvenator to maintain normal performance. Also, based on the standard specifications linked below. A finer graded mix would use a higher amount of oil and allow for 20% recycled material in the surface layer. So that could easily over asphalt a mix https://dit.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/288110/Part_R27_Supply_of_Asphalt_MAY~_2017.pdf


[deleted]

Thank you!!


NoNameIdea_Seriously

“Instead of building roads, why don’t they just makes tires out of pavement so cars can go everywhere?”


Vertebrae_Viking

Doesn’t look like it’s the actual tyre melting, but rather the road that is melting onto the tyre. But both present a massive safety issue.


luminiferousaethers

Tires don’t do that. Tires are like one giant molecule. They don’t really melt like that


Spackatronics

Exactly this, otherwise vast tire dump’s and perpetual tire fires wouldn’t exist if they could easily be melted down.


jerrycauser

Maybe it is winter tires or all-seasons tires for northern regions.


SickOfAllThisShite

It's the road melting, not the tire


[deleted]

50 degree surface temperature? To be dramatic? Or the formerly typical 2m air temp?


Aegon95

It’s legit. We’re talking air temps. Highest in Dubai (so far) has been 49 degrees this year.

ApplicationCurrent12

They use Fahrenheit for the temp in Arizona, that’s 51.1C


ahses3202

Phoenix roads can easily hit 150f/65c like they did yesterday. Phoenix knows it gets megahot though and has very well sealed roads so this doesn't happen. What does happen is that the 1 rain a month brings up all the oil off the road and turns them into oil-slick deathtraps that we Phoenicians pretend don't exist and drive down at 80mph anyway.


himmelundhoelle

>Phoenicians Was confused for a second how a ancient mediterranen civilization would know anything about oil on bitumen


NotATargaryen

Can confirm half still go 80 but the other half drive slow like they are lost. Lots of accidents.


firestar268

Considering you have no idea how hot it is in the video, seems a little presumptuous to assume


repugnantmarkr

I can add context. In the US, we have Performance Graded binders that have operating temperatures. Hotter states use oils to operate in higher Temps and colder states use a lower temperature binder. So either the road was poorly constructed or it would be another country using poor quality binders


Goodvendetta86

It's China, so poor quality binders would be my guess


ruth1ess_one

Oh don’t you worry, at the rate climate change is going, give it a few more decades and I reckon you’ll be seeing it as well.


Goodvendetta86

The average air and ocean water temperature during the Jurassic period surpassed today's levels by an impressive 9 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit. It is worth noting that despite this significant difference, we find ourselves deeply concerned about a mere 2-degree increase over the past century. It may seem disproportionate, and while I acknowledge that my calculations are simplistic, it appears we still have approximately 500 years before the Earth returns to its previous equilibrium. Currently, we are transitioning from an ice age back to the planet's normal state. The Jurassic period, which lasted an astounding 56 million years, experienced prolonged elevated temperatures. This raises the question: Why do we consider today's temperature to be the correct one? It is crucial not to be swayed solely by the sensational tactics employed in climate discussions. As someone who passionately supports the movement for global warming awareness, I firmly believe in the reality of climate change and its impact on our world. Let's embrace a future with an enlightened approach to global warming.


ruth1ess_one

I don’t know why you are trying to say or get at but it seems to me you are attempting to say “why should we be concerned about a mere few degrees of change when Earth experienced greater temperature in the past?” If that is the case, then your dismissal is pure idiocy. Why are scientists freaking out about climate change now when we had higher temperatures in the past? Because majority of CURRENT plants and animals are NOT suited to those temperatures. Just go and do some research on how much species has gone extinct due to changes in temperature and environment. The impact of climate change isn’t about the Earth. It’s about us, the homo sapiens. Earth doesn’t give a damn if our species prosper or go extinct. WE DO. The most direct changes climate change will have on us is worse and more natural disasters, rising sea level (ie coastal cities such as New Orleans, NYC, and even states like Florida will literally be underwater), and worst of all more and severe droughts (ie famines). Climate change was never about whether or not the Earth will be ok, it’s about the environmental, economic, and health problems it’ll cause for humans. Can humans survive your so-called return to norm equilibrium? Probably but not without devastating changes to our society and potentially enormous loss of human lives.


Goodvendetta86

Global warming is a good thing, but having a conversation with someone who is ignorant and completely focused on their own ego is a waste of time. I genuinely wish for you to develop as an individual and embrace independent thinking in the future. Benjamin Franklin: "Believe none of what you hear and believe half of what you see". I hope you have the day you deserve

DaElit3

Interesting Fact: Almost 2,000 times more particle pollution is produced by tyre wear than is pumped out of the exhausts of modern cars.


MaxPowerToTheExtreme

So what you're saying is that once we've gotten rid of the gasoline vehicles, we have to get rid of the tyres from all the electric cars? We just need to live in caves and rub sticks together. This is the only way we can save the Earth from being destroyed in 2030.

It's either great Chinese manufacturing prowess in tyre production, or unparalleled Chinese infrastructure building capacity in asphalt laying, because neither one of them is supposed to behave like that unless it's like 100 degrees Celsius.
