I was coming back from a long trip, it was hot, the road was hot and I was having to do a lot of steering around cracks, and tar lines that were bleeding out of the road. I get off the highway and get onto normal roads, and was heading to the gas station, it felt like I was running on ball bearings, and incredibly unstable. I checked the air pressure, it was up to 48 on the rear, I remembered that I had refilled my tires that morning, when the temperature was 50 degrees cooler so I let my tires cool while I got some Monster and Nictotine in my system, dropped to recommended pressure and clicked my rear brake a few times to loosen up in case that was the issue, and I was running fine again.. Glad I checked, who knows when it would have failed and blown out up that high and running that hot and fast.
