No, having your tires fully inflated will increase your miles per gallon (MPG) and give your vehicle a better ride/handling. When you tires are fully inflated and rotated regularly as specified by the dealer or tire company, then they have optimal performance and wear. You will get the most out of your dollar.

Why is air pressure in a cars tires different before and after the car has been driven for several hours?
The friction of the ground you drive on raises the temperature of the tire, which in turn raises the temperature of the air in the tire. Increasing the temperature of the air raises the air pressure of the tire by the air itself expanding. This only applies to atmosphere air filled tires. Nitrogen gas filled tires tend to keep from expanding at increasing temperatures, therefore, the pressure stays the same.
Does air pressure decrease with increasing altitudes?
No, air pressure decreases with increasing elevation. This is because air pressure is due to the weight of the column of air above where you are. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the less the weight of that column of air and the lower the air pressure.
What happens to the pressure of a tire if air is slowly leaking out of the tire?
It looses air therefore, you have a flat tire so you should go to a mechanic! The tire pressure slowly drops causing the tire to wear unevenly and you to have less stability and control of your vehicle.

Why does the pressure increase when you add more air to a tire?
Because, as you drive, the rolling friction of the road increase heat in the tires and that heat warms the air in the tire and the air expands , increasing the pressure. Manufactures, recommend a max psi COLD. They know that the pressure will rise after driving .
Why does the air pressure in tires of a car increase when the car is driven?
As the tire warms up from friction so does the air inside it. As air gets warmer the air tries to expand thus increasing the pressure.
Is Nitrogen in your tires explosive?
The air that you breathe is 79.8% nitrogen. By using 100% nitrogen you exclude oxygen from inside your tire. Less oxygen, less corrosion of the tire and rim. In short it makes no difference if you have nitogen or air. Its just a marketing scam to charge you an extra $8.00 per tire for something that makes no difference in tire performance.
What will happen when the tube less tire is poked by a nail?
It loses air, generally going flat.
Why density of air decreases with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.

What is the difference between cold tires and regular tires?
Cold tires is just a term used to describe a tire that has not been driven lately. Driving the car creates heat in the tire thus increasing the air pressure. That is why you should always check the air pressure when the tire is cold or has not been driven for a few hours.
Is inflated tire lighter?
No, heavier by the weight of the extra air put inside it. Even if you filled the tire with helium it is still heavier, although the additional weight would be less than the additional weight of air.
