That is actually scientifically incorrect
. It is exactly the opposite, it's like putting a balloon in a vacuum chamber the balloon will actually expand:[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VhD0_aXEe4"]Balloon in Vacuum Chamber - YouTube[/ame]
Due to the fact the air pressure forcing into the tire decreases meaning the air within the tire can expand. At sea level the opposite occurs.
