Question

Eric bought a brand new truck in July and was really excited to drive it. Vehicle maintenance is very important to him so he decided to check his tire pressure right away. The recommended tire pressure for his truck's tires was 35.0 psi and his truck was exactly 35.0 psi when he measured them on that very HOT July day. Everything was good until a COLD January day when he noticed his tires were very low and measured a tire pressure of 12.0 psi. He inspected all of his tires and saw there was no leaks or punctures. Explain how Eric's truck tires could have dropped in pressure when there was no loss of air. (psi=pounds per square inch)
