That article is utter nonsense, apparently someone missed a few physics classes. At 80 degree the vapor pressure of water is 0.5 bar, so the partial pressure of water in the humid air would be 0.5 bar! I don't know the exact density of water vapour at 80 degree, but something like 0.8g/ liter would this mean 0.4 gr/liter tire internal volume would evaporate.SilviuAgo wrote: ↑03 Nov 2024, 14:50Gary Anderson: Red Bull's McLaren tyre water theory doesn't add up

The boiling point of water is of little relevance in a closed system. If there is liquid water, it will just be in equilibrium with the air above, and the air will reach 100% humidity. No sudden transition at 100degC, just a gradual rise in pressure.
