<VV> Cold air or not?

[Ron]

The tire only heats up after you've parked for a while, you just waited too 
long.  While driving it's as cool as the ambient air.  This is easily proven 
by opening the engine doors on an Ultra Van while climbing a long mountain 
grade.  Everything on top of the engine is comfortable to touch even though 
the engine might be near melting under the shroud.  I've done it.
It helps to open the engine hood on a car when stopping after a hot run if 
you want to save the spare because that's when it heat's up, and I've had 
spares fall apart.
