When a cold tire is inflated to a certain pressure and then is warmed up due to friction with the road, the pressure increases. This happens because the

• rubber in the tires reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere
• air molecules speed up and collide with the tire walls more often
• air molecules diffuse rapidly through the walls of the tire.
