In short, yes the air does rotate. You're wondering if one molecule of air at the top of the inside of the tire will stay stationary when the tire is moving, basically. Because of the high PSI in a tire, the air molecules are packed together and do not have anywhere to go. When the tire spins, the air doesn't have anywhere else to go, so it starts spinning with the tire.

Why the pressure of the air inside a car tire increases when the car is driven at high speed?
When you drive the the tires create friction with the road when they rotate. Friction creates heat. The air molecules in the tire heat up and expand. Since the tire is rubber and sealed the tire expands with the pressure of the hot air.
The air pressure inside a tire?
scalar
Why does air leave the tire when the tire valve is opened?
Air leaves a tire when the tire valve is open due to the pressure. The pressure outside of the tire is lower than the pressure inside the tire.
Is the air inside of a tire a liquid or gas?
gas
How does air pressure act on car tier?
air pressure helps on the inside of a tire but on the outside it does not usually help. as an observation if you get a flat tire and put air inside the tire it gives pressure on the inside were the hole is but if it is on the outside and lets say a pipe rolls down the highway and it hits your tire air pressure helps it make a hole in it or make it flat.
Why does air come out of a bicycle tire when you open the valve even if the valve is pointing up?
Because the air inside the tire is under pressure. Gas always flows from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. As the pressure inside the tire is greater than the pressure outside, the air always comes out of the bicycle tyre.
Is a tire losing air a chemical reaction?
no. no chemical changes occur. air just moves from the inside of a tire to the atmosphere
Is air pressure inside a tire vector or scalar?
Scalar
Why is it when you put air into a completely flat bicycle tire the entire tire expands?
because air molecules build up inside the tire and push the rubber outwards which causes the tire to expand.
If you stop a tire quickly - dead stop - would the air inside the tire continue to go round from inertia?
The air inside the tire would continue to move the same as the water in a glass will still move after you stop stirring it.
Why does a tire expand as you pump air into it?
because you're putting pressure inside the tire of the required psi recommended
What is the center of a tire called?
The center of a tire is called the rim, its what holds the air inside and the car standing ;D
