It's time to change the air in your tires

NOTICE:



It's time to change the air in your tires. Well, actually this should have been done around December 20th when Winter officially began. But if you did not do it then, DO IT NOW. It's time to insure that your tires contain WINTER AIR.



Go to any established tire center.



They should have four air compressors containing each of the following labels.



Winter air Spring air Summer air Fall air



Use the one to match the season, which is now WINTER AIR.....



Dont forget to change the air in your tires every season.


It's also a good time to change your blinker fluid.

Isn't that called 'rotation'?

Don't forget to lube the muffler bearings.

Use nitrogen, it's all season.

Since it gets dark early and stays dark longer, be sure to check the remaining capacity in the dark suckers.

You are using winter headlights, right? They're designed to glow between snowflakes, unlike summer headlights where the light goes right thru the raindrops.

It is more complicated than that. We now have metric air also.

Actualy the coldest dryest air is best, it will have much less moisture in it in summer when it has expanded and not corrode rims as fast.

Overkill. Twice a year is plenty.

My father only changed the air once a year.

You forgot to get yours changed, didn't ya, Jerry - LOL!! Have a little fun. Life's too short!

There's definitely a difference in where you air your tires, too. I filled my air bed at my home, then went on a trip to the mountains. The air bed nearly exploded by the time I got up to the mountains. So be careful so your tires don't explode, too.

OK, OBAMMY. WILL THAT SAVE GAS TOO?

Changing air is not a DIY job. It involves a lot of knowledge and training, and special tools.

Take it to an air dealer. You might pay a little more, but you know you will get quality air. Quality air is pretty expensive.

Actually, if the compressor runs daily, and has it's intake from the outside, it'll have the proper air in it. IF the compressor does not have ducted intake from outside, then all it has is INSIDE air and is only good for indoor bikes and kids toys. Only one compressor is required.

Don't worry. Just get the air changed, and you won't be a stupid asshole any more. There is hope for you.

Yes, you need your COMPTETENT, INSURED air dealer. Home owners who change thermostats and add more freon to AC are likely to make a real mess of air tires.

I actually like to run "winter air" in the summer as it helps keep the tires running cool on a hot summer day.. ;/)

it takes no talent to change a thermostat. Changing seasonal air, on the other hand, is another matter....
