David Banner is about to set out on a drive. One of the tires on his car looks a bit low on air, so he checks its pressure when the outdoor ambient temperature is 19.4°C. At this time, he finds its gauge pressure to be 303 kPa. Satisfied that the tire is not quite flat, David leaves it parked on the curb. However, a freak cold snap hits overnight, dropping the outdoor ambient temperature to 1.46°C. Assuming any contraction of the tire is negligible, what must be the new gauge pressure (in kPa) of the tire at this lower temperature?
