Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

-- NASA received a warning respecting the effect of heat on tires --

What? Heat on tires? The main landing gear tires are used once and only once. The nose tires after being very carefully inspected get used a second time, and then are discarded. The tires also have a fusible plug in them so if they get too hot, the air is let out. Explosions of tires is very dangerous. The techonology for high pressure tires (aircraft tires) is a bit different from what you have on your car. And they require a much, much higher standard of care and maintance.
