Yesterday I had new Goodyear G614s installed on my RW due to a blowout this week. Upon return to my campsite from the tire dealer I put my X chalks in place between the tires - as I always do. This morning the chalks were so lose that they were falling out.
Obviously the tires contracted when they cooled - but:
1. I hadn't driven at high speed (above 30 mph) or more than about 5 miles.
2. The ambient temperature was low yesterday.
I'm just really surprised by the amount of expansion / contraction. Anybody else notice this?
