Necessary:
- two identical bicycle tires
- one tire kept at a constant temperature (control)
- one tire that experiences changes in temperature (experimental)

Not necessary (and would confound the test):
- different amounts of air in each tire — you should keep the amount (and initial pressure) the same so any pressure change is due to temperature only.
