I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

Even though this article says that tire rubber starts to break down and melt between 100⁰C to 150⁰C, depending on the rubber compound, I’d still prefer to protect my tires from such high temperatures…

Edit: Those temperatures are also rather dangerous for electric vehicle batteries, which are located right under the vehicle in very close proximity to the road heat.
150C is over 300F
Yes, and EV batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰C
There’s no way that’s true
It’s not, many EVs intentionally heat up to over 50°C during fast charging. They also have several layers of material between the bottom of the battery and the road along with airflow across the entire area, so radiant heat isn’t going to have a meaningful impact.

0⁰C to 45⁰C, and you act like vehicles don’t get stuck on the road in traffic?
Road temperatures of ~160⁰F are around 71+⁰C.
Please do your math before declaring temps are safe for lithium batteries, 160⁰F / 71.1⁰C most certainly is NOT safe for them.
Eh?
???
Above 45⁰ Celsius, there’s a high risk of lithium ion thermal runaway (aka EV explosion).
Also, temperatures as little as anything above 37⁰ Celsius are known to cause infertility in men.
Jesse. What the fuck are you talking about?
