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?

    Overpressure can cause its own issues, it can cause uneven wear. That uneven wear can lead to bald spot that can cause the tire to blow.

    Optimal tire pressure should be maintained at all times, not overthinking at all.
