tire valve
Pressurized air portal
A tire valve is the small mechanism that allows air to be added to or released from a tire while preventing it from escaping on its own.
The valve core inside can be depressed to deflate the tire or removed for faster inflation.
Most car tires use a Schrader valve; bicycles often use the narrower Presta valve.
Check that the tire valve cap is screwed on tight.
