Why do tires lose air pressure faster when you don't drive the car?... CarreraLicious - Sunday, 2 January, 2011, at 6:18:47 pm	18,600

I've wondered the same thing about air in tires. Guenter in Ontario - Sunday, 2 January, 2011, at 11:41:56 pm	2,430

Could it be a function of the temperature... Ed fromTampa ( formerly Long Island) - Monday, 3 January, 2011, at 7:54:37 am	2,351
both temperature and "amount of air" contribute Steve (Morro Bay) - Monday, 3 January, 2011, at 10:11:36 am	2,721

Distributes the oils in the rubber which helps improve the abilty of the rubber to retain air. *NM* MarcW - Thursday, 6 January, 2011, at 10:28:45 pm	2,380

Re: Why do tires lose air pressure faster --We should ask Boyle or Avagadro *NM* Clif R - Monday, 3 January, 2011, at 4:09:29 pm	2,967
A watched tire always Boyles. Avogadro would say tiny "moles" get at tires that sit still. *NM* Laz - Monday, 3 January, 2011, at 6:19:38 pm	2,423
i like it! so it's pV=k (which is an ideal law) or V over n = k Clif R - Tuesday, 4 January, 2011, at 3:38:24 pm	2,475
I was thinking more like the free particle approach to Schrodinger's equation, or his boxed cat. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 4 January, 2011, at 4:23:44 pm	2,218
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	2,314
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	2,491
For them to be incited I'd consider this loose paraphrase of an idea by Fritjof Capra: Laz - Wednesday, 5 January, 2011, at 10:37:44 pm	2,314
