The answer to that would differ a lot depending on what tire you're thinking about, and what the pressure is. Tires come in very different sizes, with very different volumes.

how much air is in the tire
When you are not sitting on it.
Air fille bicycle tires were invented by John Dunlop.
air with an air pump
When air is pumped into a bicycle tire, the molecules in the air are pushed into the tire, increasing the pressure inside. The molecules move more rapidly and collide frequently with the walls of the tire, which causes the pressure to rise. This increased pressure creates a force that keeps the tire inflated and able to support the weight of the bicycle and rider.
ANY tire gauge measures air pressure in PSI.
The inflation pressure is on the sidewall of the tire.
Boyle's law can be applied in everyday life when inflating a bicycle tire. As you press the air pump, you are decreasing the volume inside the tire, causing the pressure to increase. This relationship between pressure and volume is in accordance with Boyle's law.
A bicycle tire is a tire which fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.
Air is put in with a pump or a compressor, either way it becomes pressurised to inflate the tire.
It uses air to hold its shape and to support the bicycle. The compressive nature of the air allow a certain amount of tire material to give traction with the ground.
