I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?

If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?

    Look up the ideal gas law.

    But even then your tires won’t explode due to temperature induced pressure change, unless you’re about to blow them up already when cold.
