What to know first
Hot-tire pickup describes coating that softens, sticks to a warm tire, or releases from the concrete when the vehicle moves. It is more common with lower-performance coatings or inadequate preparation.
The solution is a compatible professional system over properly prepared concrete, installed within the manufacturer’s conditions and given enough time before vehicle traffic returns.
Reduce hot-tire risk
- Use mechanical surface preparation
- Select a system intended for vehicle traffic
- Observe full cure and parking timelines
- Do not coat over a weak existing layer
