The tire of an automobile is inflated to a slightly lower pressure in summer than in winter.

This is because the air inside the tire expands as it heats up in the summer, causing the pressure to increase. By starting with a slightly lower pressure in the summer, the tire is less likely to become overinflated as it heats up. In contrast, in the winter, the air inside the tire contracts as it cools down, causing the pressure to decrease. Starting with a slightly higher pressure in the winter helps to compensate for this decrease in pressure as the air cools. Overall, maintaining the correct tire pressure is important for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and safety of the vehicle.
