Yes the air pressure will increase when the tire warms from use, you should inflate it to manufacturers specs written either on the tire or on your car door when "cold" ( driving a mile or so to the gas station is fine), any increase from heat has already been taken into account by the manufacturer. And no, if there was not a significant change in temperature outside, 6psi. is a substantial amount to have dropped. There have been some recent recalls on valve cores and valve stems for such reasons. So check with the tire shop that put them on to see if they have had any problems. and only use the manufacturers specs of pressure on your car. the specs on the tires are the max pressure of that particular tire. not of your car. always go with what the owners manual recommends.

It is possible to buy commercial tires in bulk, but most wholesale companies will only sell to a business. If you do not have a business then you will have to buy the tires like normal. Be aware if you are buying in bulk that the shipping for the tires may be very costly and negate any savings you made.

Yes, it is normal for bike tires to lose air over time due to factors such as temperature changes, punctures, and the natural permeability of the tire material. Regularly checking and inflating your bike tires can help maintain optimal performance.


Why do tires lose air after sitting idle for a period of time?

Tires lose air after sitting idle due to natural permeation, where air molecules slowly escape through the rubber material of the tire. This process is influenced by factors like temperature, tire age, and the condition of the tire's seal.
