Air is in tire's
Air become's less dense the hotter it is, and more dense the colder it is.The pressure change in your tire's is caused by the air in it becoming more or less dense,causing the pressure to rise or fall.
One big thing nowadays to keep your tire pressure from fluctuating is to put in nitrogen instead of air,as it's density is less affected by the outside tempature.It's only just now being used by consumer's,and will help gas mileage indirectly.

The amount of air in your tires stays constant. Molecules expand or contract depending on the air temp.
Think of why your air-pressure in your tire is a lot higher after you go on a drive. Your tire gets HOT.
If it gets cold the air in your tires get dense, so the pressure goes down.

tires are filled with air. As the temperature outside the tire changes, so will the air inside to equilibriate.

When the temperature goes up the air expands(pressure goes up)and when the temperature goes down the air shrinks(pressure goes down).

Yes as it warms up air molecules move faster and when it's cooler molecules move slower

well when its summer,the tires will have to be checked more often,because of the heat.
