Really Hot Tires

TrapperAH1G · 09-02-2018, 02:52 AM

Hope this is the right place for this. Stopped to help a biker couple on the side of the road tonight. He had a flat rear and tow was on the way. Got to talking and he said he had a brand new set of Avon tires, and had been noticing a smell of hot/burning rubber whenever he rode. Checking his tires he said both (front and rear) would be extremely hot to the touch. Tonight, his rear was too hot for him to touch at all after it failed. These are the first tires he's run Dynabeads in and he's thinking that's the cause. Told him I knew lots of riders using them and hadn't heard of this.

Anyone have any similar experience. My tires get warm but nothing like he is getting.

He should look carefully to see if the tires are rubbing anywhere on the bike, brakes are seizing, or that he had the correct tire pressure. Those are the two biggest reasons for hot tires.

Dyna beads are not the problem

Hundreds of guys use them with no problem.
What was he running for pressure in the front and rear?
What size tires was he running on front and rear.
And as Steve said, He should look carefully to see if the tires are rubbing anywhere on the bike or if brakes are seizing.
