Original Note:
The use of Kelvin is potentially misleading as it’s not widely used by consumers. 300 Kelvin is not extreme heat for typical road conditions that tyres are made for. 300K is 27°c(81F) Tyres typically tend to soften beyond 50°c(122F) and rarely melt due to vulcanisation. https://www.blackcircles.com/helpcentre/tyres/can-tyres-melt-in-hot-weather https://tirehungry.com/is-it-true-tires-can-melt-because-of-heat/
