^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There could be some effect of centripetal force (or centrifugal force,
depending on how "sophisticated" you want to sound,) but please bear in mind
that the portion of the tire at the bottom, where the jostling is taking
place is STATIONARY. There must be some degree of roughness at which the
rotational forces equal the mixing forces. For higher roughness, the air
would remain mixed, and for lower roughness, segregation would progress.


Are you saying my miles on the trainer(with a smooth roller) would
extend the time period between air evacuation events?
