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?

    Atmosferic pressure doesn’t change as much as air density with temperature, because its not a closed system.

    Actually easier to ride faster in summertime due to less dense air in which the cycler will have to move trough…
