Good question. First you should understand that not all tires do, many are solid, some have nitrogen instead of air. Automobile tires were once usually solid, but the pneumatic tire (tyre) was a far more comfortable ride, and it was lighter and cheaper.

Explain why do bus tires can greatly increase when traveling over along distance at high speed?
Vehicles ove forward because of friction between the tyres and the road. Friction causes heat so the tyres and the air inside them heat up. A confined gas (air) tries to expand when it is heated. Tyres will expand, when the air inside applies sufficient pressure.
How many feet to stop car at 70 mph?
One - which needs to be on the brake pedal! Apart from the car's speed, the stopping distance will depend on the mass of the car, the condition of the brakes, the condition of the tyres - the air pressure and tread, the road condition, the driver's response.
How do you get 12 feet 1 inch truck under a bridge of 12 feet?
Deflate the tyres.
What provides the centripetal force for a car driving on a circular track?
The road, pushing against the tyres.
Application and importance of circles in our daily life?
many uses are there from rings to tyres,discs to plates
Would a tire work with no air in it?
Normal pneumatic tyres do not work correctly without air. Run flat tyres do, so do solid tyres.
What is air pressure in car tyres?
the recommended tyre pressure for all light vehicles is 32psi in all tyres
How does putting air in the tires of a car help?
without air the tyres wont go round :/
What are some things air is used for?
Air is used to inflate tyres , power air-tools , sustain life,
What are some examples of pneumatic systems?
Car tyres, Air jacks.
How do mechanical engineers fix under inflation?
They go to a air bar and put more air in the tyres.
Which gas is pumped into the tires?
Air is used to inflated car tyres but cars can be equipped with nitrogeon inflated tyres but this is usually only beneficial to race cars

What is the main use of a schrader valve?
Car tyres to keep air pressure in.
What is an air pump for a Ford Fusion?
It inflates the tires/tyres when they have low pressure in them
When a driver pumps up the tyres of a car. More air particles are put inside the tyres. What will happen to the pressure inside the tyres?
Increasing the number of air particles in the tires by pumping them up will increase the pressure inside the tires. This is because there are more particles colliding with the walls of the tires, resulting in a higher pressure.
Can you mix air and nitrogen in tires?
Air is 78% nitrogen, and most tyres are inflated with air, so mixing pure nitrogen with air would not be a problem.
