The pressure exerted by air in a tyre (or any gas anywhere) is caused by the gas molecules colliding with the wall of the tyre at very high speeds. At a certain pressure for example 50 Pascalls the air is exerting 50 Newtons of force on every square meter of tyre.

they hit the walls/side of the tyre and that builds pressure


How do the particles inside a car tire cause pressure on the tire?

When a car tire is inflated, the air particles inside the tire collide with the walls of the tire and with each other, creating a force that exerts pressure on the walls of the tire. The pressure builds up as more air is pumped into the tire until it reaches a point where it is equal to the atmospheric pressure pushing back on the tire.


Can cold weather cause low tire pressure?

yes it can cause low tire pressure


A truck's tires have the correct air pressure at room temperature about 20c explain why a tire is more likey to explode when the truck is driven in hot weather than in cold weather?

As a tire goes round and round heat builds up inside the heat expands the air inside the tire. On a normal day that he can dissipate but as the temperature on the outside increases is more difficult for the heat (energy) to leave the inside of the tire. As the temperature increases the pressure inside the tire also increases. It is that pressure that can cause the tire to explode.


If the pressure inside a car tire is equal to atmospheric pressure the tire is flat why?

If inside and outside same pressure that means there is no pressure. The added pressure is what blows the tire up like a balloon and holds the weight of the car up.


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.

NO - there isn't a pressure sensor inside the spare


What is the tire pressure for a pt cruiser?

The tire will have a recommended psi printed on the tire, it is best to follow this recommendation. Check inside driver door for tire pressure information. Tire lists max pressure at max load. Mfg will set tire presure on sticker inside driver door.

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.


Why an over inflated tire bursts at high speeds?

At high speed, there is a lot of flexing of the rubber, which causes heat, which heats the air inside the tire, which increases the air pressure. If the pressure was too high to begin with, the increased air pressure can be high enough to cause the tire to burst.


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.
