Why does air in a cars tires 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 ride a bike friction between tires and road heats the tires and air inside them how does this change the air pressure?
If all other things remain the same, a higher temperature means a higher pressure. For bicycle riding, the difference isn't enough to matter.
What is the purpose of bigger tires?
Larger tires increase traction, reduce drivablity and increase noise inside the car. Mostly they look neat

What material is used to manufacture Continental bicycle tires?
The material that is used to manufacture Continental bicycle tires is rubber made from the Uniroyal company or other companies that specializes in supplying rubber for bicycle tires. To get a more specific answer to the question, a visit to the local bicycle shop can render an answer.
How do you tell age of bicycle tires?
Basically, you can't. Car tires comes with year of manufacture printed (in code) on them, but no such thing for bicycle tires. What you can do is judge them for dryness, mount& inflate them, and look for cracks.
Why are there more tire blowouts on the highways in April rather than December?
Because in April, the temperature of the weather is hot. So, the pressure inside the tires of the car will expand because of the heat. The more the temperature increases, the more the pressure inside the tires of the car increases. So if the tires of the car can't hold the pressure inside it the tire will blow-out or burst. in Dec. the temperature is cold making the pressure inside the tires constant or stable and will not make the tire to burst or pop.
Where can one find replacement bike tires?
Bicycle tires can be bought and replaced easily at many biking stores. Bicycle Warehouse, Performance Bike, and Bicycle Tutor all sell replacement bike tires as well as teach one how to replace a bike tire.
What is the width of bicycle tires?
Bicycle tires start at a little over 3/4 inch for high speed racing tires, going up through 1.5 inch for light road going tires to 2.25 inch for knobbly off-road tires.
When do you use a bicycle pump?
When you need to inflate the tires.
Who is the inventor of the Air filled bicycle tire?
Air fille bicycle tires were invented by John Dunlop.
Why are there so many flaws in bicycle tires?
You must be buying cheap tires. I find almost no flaws in bike tires that I use.
