Your speed is based on how many times the axle rotates and is calculated by the car manufacturer based on the wheel size. If you used a tire that was bigger than standard such that the outer ring that touches the road was twice as long, your speedometer would read half the speed. So your mph speed of the car remains the same, but the speedometer registers it as half.

Does air pressure of a tire decrease as the temperature of the tire increases?
No. The pressure increases with temperature increase
Does the pressure in tires change if the weather changes?
Yes. The warmer a tire gets, the more air pressure increases. You should not notice a increase of more than 3-5 psi ( or a decrease if it is cold out ).
Why does the pressure of an tire increase if the automobile is driven for a while?
The air in the tire is becoming heated due to the tires friction on the road surface. Heated air increases the pressure in the tire
Why does air pressure in a cars tire increase after a long drive?
As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.
Will using a smaller tire size than stock increase gas mileage?
No, it will decrease gas mileage.
When road surfaces become slippery you should Use cruise control Decrease the tire pressure Increase following distance Increase the tire pressure?
Increase your following distance. It will take you longer to stop. Slowing down is also a really good idea.

Do 22 inch wheels affect the performance and fuel economy on a 07 charger?
The size of the wheel itself does not affect performance or fuel economy, but the height of the tire does. A taller tire will decrease performance, but increase fuel economy. A taller tire would have a larger circumference, and therefore decrease the engine speed (RPM's) leading to the improved economy. On the other hand, a taller tire also acts to reduce the car's ability to accelerate (like changing the gear ratio). Also, the speedometer won't be accurate any more.
Why is it better to ckeck tire pressure when its cold?
you should always check your tire inflation pressure when your tires are cold, and inflate them to the recommended pressure at that time. A good estimate to use when comparing tire pressure to air temperature is for every 10 degrees F, tire pressure will adjust by 1 psi. For example, if the outside air temperature increases 10 degrees, the tire pressure will increase by 1 psi. Conversely, if the air temperature falls 10 degrees, the tire pressure will decrease by 1 psi.
Would a car tire on the roof of a shack in a squatter camp prevent lightning from striking the shack?
No. The car tire will not reduce its chances of being hit by lightning. If anything the tire would add height, which could increase the chances of being hit, though this increase in chance would be negligible.
What is meant by central tire inflation system on models like the Hummer?
Within a central tire inflation system, a driver adjusts the settings governing an electronic control unit, which manipulates the tire valves to increase or decrease air pressure in order to improve tire performance on varying terrains.
What causes pressure in a car tire?
The air molecules bouncing around off the inside of the tire. If you force something into a confined space that is usually allowed to be free it will exert pressure(Force) on th walls of it's container. An increase in tire temperature or friction will cause the air pressure to increase while colder temperatures will cause it to decrease.
