The staement is not entirely true, because the little air inside will expand or contract still, with change in temp or pressure!

No...The pressure goes up when the tyre is heated up after runing on a hot road in summers and the pressure will come down when the car is parked...lets say on a winter night...But these changes occur within an acceptable limit without causing any damage to the tyre....It will be a goot idea to have lesser air in summers and a little more in winter for a smooth ride. The volume will increase slightly with the pressure and vice versa....

Tires vary in volume as they warm up or air is added. The changes are not that noticable because tires are designed to hold their radial shape. They will bulge as heat and pressure are added, just as they flatten when heat and pressure are removed.

A tyre is relatively rigid. It is steel reinforced. So if it is inflated sufficiently its volume does not change, but it does deform as it hits bumps.
