How come when you put 31psi in to a tire then put that tire on to a car then lower the car does the tire still have 31psi in it?
The inside volume of the tire has not changed, so the pressure will not change.
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.

What is a Rubber Inner Tube?
Before modern tires, automotive tires used a different method for holding the air pressure inside a tire. The inner tube is a piece of rubber shaped like the inside of the tire. The tube has a stem and valve into which air can be pumped. The inner tube is placed inside the tire, the tire is fitted onto the vehicle rim, the stem is pulled through the hole in the vehicle rim then compressed air is forced into the inner tube. That method was used for many years and is still used in bicycle and most motorcycle tires. Today, truck, automobile and many motorcycle tires are "tubeless", meaning that the tire uses a thin coating of sealant material on the inside of the tire surface. The tire seals against the rim, which is designed to fit tight against the tubeless tire.An inner tube is the tube inside a protective outer tire that is generally used to hold air and keep the entire tire inflated to a proper level. They are very fragile in many cases and therefore need some sort of outer protection in order not to become easily punctured. If one does become damaged, it may be possible to repair the inner tube with an inexpensive patch. Also get mor information in detail at Tyreonwheels
