With those rubber bands for tires I woulnd suggest you over inflate. Tires need alittle expansion for bumps and potholes on the road. Car 28-32lbs.
Truck/SUV 35-40lbs.

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.

Properly inflate tires, drive car, light goes out.

What is the characteristic of pressure loss in tires?
The tires go flat. The tires lose air even if they don't have any defects or holes, the air goes right through the rubber by osmosis. For applications where tire pressure is critical they use nitrogen to inflate them. One of the amazing things about air in tires is that different gasses depart the tires with different speeds. Probably a good science project in this.
When the tire pressure light goes on in a mini cooper should you check the tire pressure?
Yes. The light means that one of the tires is not reading correctly. Either from improper pressure or a sensor problem.
What does the instrumental pannel that looks like a horseshoe with an exclamation point inside it mean on a 2007 dodge durango?
That is probably an indicator that you have low air pressure in one of your tires. Put some air in your tires one at a time and see if it goes off. Check your manual for exact tire pressure, but from my understanding truck tires are usually 30-40 psi.
How much air goes into Infiniti tires?
Depends on what vehicle the tire is mounted on. The correct inflation psi is listed in the owners manual and on the drivers door post. The pressure listed on the tire sidewall is not the correct inflation pressure. It is the maximum pressure the tire can handle.
Why does tire pressure reduce?
Tire Pressure usually goes down when the temperature gets cold outside, or the vehicle has sat for a while. Because tires are made of rubber they expand and contract with the temperature difference. Another thing that causes tires to loose pressure is the air inside them. Because warm air rises, and cold air sinks. When the tires are contracting from the cold, the air inside the tire sinks out through the contracted openings around the rim and valve stem, just enough to loose some pressure.
Why are tires round?
Well I think you should change your tires to triangular blocks of wood and see how that goes.
Which automotive tires are rated the most safe?
Michelin tires are the highest rated as far as safety goes.
A tire is inflated with air?
Usually the tire pressure does increase as they heat up with friction. However, this is very small amount and is much reduced with the newer design of tires. I would estimate the tires only heat up a couple of degrees. They may also heat up due to the heat of the highway on summer days. - - - - - No...tires heat up a LOT when you drive, because of heat caused by friction. The air pressure goes up 1 psi per 10 degrees temperature increase. What has changed with radial tires, is their handling doesn't radically change with air pressure like it did with bias-ply tires.
Why are good tires essential for vehicle control?
Everything you do with a car goes thru the tires, braking, acceleration and handling.
