may possibly be the n00b question of the year.. hot tyre?

[tylerjames]

OKAY, before any of you say something stupid.
hear me out.

Is there anything that could cause your tyre to overheat?
- driving normal/fast
- NOT doing burnouts, or anything alike.
- front left wheel hot to touch (longer then 5-10 seconds and you'd want to take your hand off)
- all other wheels only feel warm/ normal.

I know I'm due for a wheel allignment (as I had a small accident a few weeks ago)
but is there anything that would cause this?
brakes overheating?/brakes not working properly?
something from the left side of the engine bay?
tyre with not enough air in it?

Car is a 96' Civic sedan.
more so just curious if anyone else has had this or may know a cause.

thanks in advance.

mmyeahhhh, but it's actually the tyre more so then the 'wheel' itself.
will take it off on the weekend and have a look at the pads though.

thanks for your help dude.
