Skeleton, That is extremely helpful. Thank you.

Heat comes from both rubber (friction with ground) and air inside the tires (pressure). Heat goes to outside air.

Dissipation. I realize nylon is a very poor conductor of heat relative to steel. What I'm trying to determine is once hot, how fast does nylon lose heat relative to steel. For example, if instead of using steel belting in tires, if I used nylon, might that prolong the life of the tire...

I'm trying to get a better understanding of they heat dissipation properties of these two materials. Understanding that there are many different kinds of nylon and steel, what are some general rules of thumb? Thx.
