Why is it when you drive a car on a hot road the pressure in your tires increase?

Due to friction heat is produced and this heat would increase the pressure of air or gas inside the tyre

Cars being driven on icy roads can have better traction if they have chains on their tires because chains increase the between the tires and the road?
Chains increase the surface area which increases the friction so you gain traction.
Does gas mileage increase with tire pressure?
Yes to a degree. As the pressure is increased, there is less tire contact with the road surface (grip is reduced accordingly) and gas milaege improves slightly.
Can you flat tow a volt?
Is it all wheel drive? no then lift the front and tow away.Do not drag it down the road with the drive tires on the ground unless you want to put a transmission in it.
What happens to tire air pressure when a car goes down the road at 70mph?
depends on the ambient temp. most tires will raise 3 to 6 psi during normal operating conditions. do not compensate and back your tires off for hot summers. start off with the cold recommended pressure and leave it. you only change with ambient changes maybe once a month or so.
When driving in bad weather should you increase your following distance?
Yes, where it is windy and or the road is wet or your vision is limited by weather, you will take longer to stop your vehicle. To allow for this you should increase your distance from the vehicle ahead of you AND drive more slowly.
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. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.

Why does the pressure of an tire increase if the automobile is driven for a while?
The air in the tire is becoming heated due to the tires friction on the road surface. Heated air increases the pressure in the tire
Why does the pressure of the air in automobile Tyre increase if the automobile is driven for a while?
Driving makes the tires roll on the road, causing friction to heat the tires. The heat is both from the tires rubbing against the road as well as the tires’ rubber deforming and reforming its round shape (tires form a small flat area against the ground.) Heat makes air molecules move faster, increasing the pressure they push against the tires.
What do struts do in a 2004 Chevy Malibu?
They keep the tires on the road. with out them the tires would bounce up and down as you drive down the road.
What affects tires on the road?
Their air pressure and condition of road (rain, ice etc )
Is retreaded tires authorized?
Authorized to do what drive on the road yes.
What is the pressure exerted by a car on a strip of say 5cm on the road?
The pressure that the car exerts, at every point where the tires touch the road, is(total weight of the car) divided by (total area of contact between the tires and the road).
Do you have to use snow tires with a 535Xi?
If you drive in snow you have to, regardless of the vehicle make. -The snow tires are your link to the road.
How do radial ply tires increase fuel mileage?
The Simple answer: Radial Tires Roll down the road easier. How and Why is quite complicated
When you ride a bike friction between the tires and the road heats the air in the tires What does this do to the pressure in the tires?
Air expands when heated so therefor increases the preasure
What is the tire pressure 35 inch mud tires?
First off I am only talking about off road use and NOTabout the tire pressure for tires used on the highway. For highway use inflate them to the tire pressure recommended by the manufacture of your vehicle as listed in your owners manual and on the drivers door post.For off-road use where the tires are fitted with bead locks where you are in some rough terrain you can inflate them to 8-10 psi. For off road use with no bead locks do not go below 12 psi and even then do not drive fast or turn sharply. For all other off-road driving 20-22 psi is a excellent pressure to run them at for optimum traction.
