Tire dimensions and speed ratings are listed in the sidewall of passenger tires as shown in Figure 1. It is given that tire width is 215 mm, sidewall height to width ratio is 65%, and the wheel rim diameter is 15 inches (381 mm). A typical passenger vehicle tire has inflation gage pressure of 30 psi (206.8 kPa). Determine: a) The mass of air [g, 1000 g = 1 kg] in the tire if the temperature inside the tire is 25 ?C, b) The gage pressure [kPa] in the tire if the temperature inside the tire increases to 50 ?
