That's hilarious!

An obvious joke post.


Anybody who thinks you need to change tire air is beyond naive. Or simply clueless on matters automotive.

Change air!

That's pure gold!

Gotta remember that one to tell my car buddies!

Thanks for the laugh!

I really did LOL!

And I can't believe a joke question spurred a thread that went this many pages!

I wonder if I can get that mileage out of a post on left handed crescent wrenches?

Which are just as real as the tire air notion!

More pure Nitrogen can make a tiny difference in long distance race cars, but not for you.

Hey, how do you know I'm not a long distance race car driver!??

[quote=Khloe;47282541]I'm far from an auto expert, but I live in Northern Wisconsin where it gets extremely cold. I never heard of "changing the air" in your tires. I asked this question at my tire dealer, because I saw this question on line. They laughed and asked me where I ever got that idea. They told me that air doesn't go bad...just keep your tires properly inflated to what the tire manufacturer recommends, and you are set.


Wooo, you should start looking for a new mechanic. He evidently hasn't had training in a long time , the thinking on changing air in tires has come a long way. Copy this thread and take it to him as proof.

Times were hard.

If you got in the soup line, you didn't get any air.

If you got in the air line, you didn't get any soup.

When the bordello opened, no one got any soup or air.
