How often should I change the air in my tires ? (traction, exhaust)

I would change it when you replace your muffler bearings. Ideally, with the same air from your car's point of origin.

Won't that contribute to climate change? Letting out warm air when it's cold and letting out cold air when it's warm? ;D

Seriously original poster. There's no need to ever let the air out of your tires.

Every season you should let out the last seasons air and put in the new seasons air, it makes a difference........

I order pure mountain air when I buy new tires.
That way I can go twice as far between tire air changes.


Similar to synthetic oil vs regular oil


Costs a little more upfront, but well worth it in the long run.

Always be sure to change the tiny air filter in the valve stem each time also.

Don't forget this as well.

I only use air imported from the Himalayas in my Prius tires. It adds 8 mpg!

Also, make sure you replace your blinker fluid periodically. It also can go stale after a few months.

Wow, that is a lot of trouble to go through. I hope your wife isn't as high maintenance as her car.
