Why do tires lose air pressure faster when you don't drive the car?...

Could it be a function of the temperature...

both temperature and "amount of air" contribute

Lower temp means less Brownian Motion. Air molecules settle to the bottom and quietly slip out. *NM*
Laz - Tuesday, 4 January, 2011, at 10:20:29 pm

Do they "quietly slip out" or does the Dark Rubber incite them to come to the other side? *NM*
Capt Ron - Wednesday, 5 January, 2011, at 2:57:50 pm

For them to be incited I'd consider this loose paraphrase of an idea by Fritjof Capra:
