It's too long since I did the physics, but I remember contemplating this. I concluded that dissipating the same amount of energy over a bigger tyre won't heat it up so fast - so it's less likely to melt.depends whether you're on a bike, or in a physics 101 lecture

also rubber is pretty flexible, and road surface ain't too flat.

But seriously, why is it when you talk to people about tyre heat, do they think it comes from the tyre touching or rubbing or contacting the road....

Wot? does it come from leaving them out in the sun?

that sorta thing might do it
seriously though, it comes from flexing of the tyre wall/carcass/whatever it called, which flexes cos, well, the road init

Static friction. Unless the tyre is slipping.
