2. Flat tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_tire

   Air pumps run by hand-lever, pressure cans, or electricity can be used to re-inflate slow-leaking tires. One common way to temporarily repair and re-inflate a punctured tire at the roadside is to use a canned tire sealant. The motorist attaches this to the valve, and the compressed propellant inside forces the can's contents through the valve ...

   The air inside a tire condenses in colder weather, taking up less space and lowering tire pressure. The Consumer Reports website notes that tire pressure will drop 1 psi for every 10 degree drop ...

4. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

5. Canned tire inflator - Wikipedia

   The biggest complaint by tire professionals regarding tire inflators is around removing the sealant from inside the tire. They believe that it is a difficult, time-involved process that may damage the tire. Some brands like Fix-A-Flat offer a water-soluble formulation that allows the product to be removed quickly and easily with a towel and water.

6. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

   Another function of CTIS is to maintain tire pressure if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set. [1] CTIS also extends truck, tire, and drive train life, by significantly reducing vibration and shock loading.

   Valve stem: Pneumatic tires receive their air through a valve stem—a tube made of metal or rubber, with a check valve, typically a Schrader valve on automobiles and most bicycle tires, or a Presta valve on high-performance bicycles. They mount directly to the rim, in the case of tubeless tires, or are an integral part of the inner tube.
