Why do cars burn rubber?
Burning rubber is slang for spinning the tires. The rubber burns due to friction which causes heat which melts the rubber and causes it to smoke.
What causes the rear tires to heat up on a F250 Fx4?

Do car tires expand in the summer?
Yes, the heat causes the air to expand in the tires. Conversely, the cold air in winter reduces tire pressure.
Why is air pressure in a cars tires different before amd after the car has been driven for an hour?
Tires create friction, which in turn creates heat. Heated objects expand.
How does the wheel affect the speed of a car?
All tires have a speed rating, driving above is "Highly Not Recommended" as the tire can/will come apart due to heat build up. There where cars limited in speed due to this reason.
What type of energy does friction of running car tires on a road causes?
It generates heat (from kinetic energy of the car).
Do cars come without air conditioning and heat?
yes they do i bought a pick up and it only has heat!
What effect does the heat that causes convection in the earth come from?
Friction
Why do the tires of a car get hot when the car is driven?
the friction between the tire & the surface your driving on causes heat and which heats the tire + the air...
Why do NASCAR drivers weave side to side?
At the beginning of a race or a restart after a caution, Nascar drivers will weave their cars side to side to clean off as much debris as possible from their tires. Also, this process will heat up the tires for a better grip.
When you speed does it wear tires down faster?
Yes. Tires get hotter when speed is increased causing more wear. Example- Racing car tires wear out very quickly because of speed combined with high heat. Indy cars and cars used in Nascar may only get a few laps before needing changing. Addition: The effect isn't as drastic on passenger tires but speed does effect wear.
How do you remove the back tires on a 1995 ford explorer. Lugs are off and Tires will not come off.?
On some vehicles, the heating/cooling of the brake drums/disks causes the rims to become heat welded. A good, swift kick will usually break them loose. Try rotating the tires 90 degrees and kicking them after each turn. The rim should pop off after that. Luck!
