Default Trailer Tires Overheating.

Hydrogen is even better yet (better heat transfer coefficient). It is what is
used to cool the 1000 megawatt generators at power plants as air can't carry the
heat from resistance in the windings away fast enough. Just watch out for
flames or sparks. Also hydrogen tends to diffuse through the tire so you have
to replenish it more often.

They have it at race tracks. Otherwise you need a tank of it. Know anyone
in the hvac business, they use it to purge refrigerant lines while they
braze. Not really likely to help enouhg to be worth the trouble though.
The other posters are right, bigger wheels are the right solution.

nitrogen helps tires run cooler


How does that work?
