That is the damn best question. I'll have to ask my mechanic.

There is some movement of the air in the tyre but not in the way you would thinnk. The air is constantly moving and flows within the tyre as the wheel rotates flowing more and more as time progresses. The effect of the air's inertia ( which is a fluid) is quite similar to fluid in a glass. Have you ever tried rotating a glass with, say, juice and ice in it. The ice and the fluid don't really move. The glass does but due to the very low friction between the juice and the glass there is not much movement. If you could rotate the glass fast enough it would eventually begin to flow in the direction of the movement. The air in the tyre acts in quite the same way. A rising Temperature and hence rising pressure compounds the effect as the gas increases in speed. Depending on the tyre's shape this may make the flow more or less turbulent within the tyre.

How did you ever think of this question? LOL-- it would have to turn/move with the tire, remaining constantly stable in relation to the tire, with some small amount of movement or air mixing, otherwise the friction build up would superheat the tires from the inside out, and they would explode or melt. Keep in mind air acts very similar to water so picture a tire full of water and how it would act when rotating at high speeds. (Just guessing on that).

I'm thinking your question is what occurs inside the time as the tires get warmer.
As the tires get warmer...the air in the tires expands...increasing the air pressure.
For instance....if you run 35 lbs per sq in on a cold tire...when warm...the actual tire pressure is maybe 40 lbs per sq in.
Hope this makes sense to you.

well it does move.. and expands... the molecules become very active and speed up.
then the air heats up.
that's why one must have proper pressure required by the tire manufacterer and the car company.
:D
another reason why tires violently explode while you are driving when you get a flat.

Yes because its moving.

probably, but i've never been in a tire before ;)
