Don't forget to change the air in your tires this spring [PSA]
I know some Corvette owners garage their cars for the winter. If you do that, you probably still have summer air from last summer, and while it's aged some, it will still work fine this summer. If it's over 3 years old, you might want to change it out anyway. For those who daily drive their Corvettes, it's more important to run the correct air in your tires (at the correct pressure). |
Tough crowd here today.
Has anyone tried "all season" air? The local tire shop recommended this to my wife when I sent her there today for "summer air." She has a classic Mercedes Benz, with all season Michelin tires. I also told her she needed "Genuine Mercedes Benz" summer air for her car. The local tire place didn't have any "Genuine Mercedes Benz" air at all, summer or all season. I guess I'll have to send her to the dealership for that. |
I had the air in my tires swapped when I changed out the blinker fluid.
|
I run a special all-season mix of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Di-oxygen, and 1% secret additives.
|
The Bigfoot that services my car fills my tires with Unicorn farts. He said it should be good until late Fall. :hide:
|
I use Helium it lightens the car and makes it faster …
|
I like to live dangerously, my tires are filled with hydrogen - even lighter than helium :eek:
|
Also time to drain & refill the 710 fluid!

This is complete nonsense. Air is a mixture of gases and behaves as an ideal gas - it is the moisture in the air that causes the problem. Winter air will be dryer, if it is cold when compressed and therefore can absorb less moisture. The low temp does increase the density but when summer comes that cold air will be at ambient temperature and you will need to let some out to maintain the correct pressure.

Gee, if only there was an appropriate time to post things like this, total nonsense, just for the humor value. Maybe if there was just one day each year when you expect people to do that. Did you miss the date of the post? |
Damn, forgot to change my air and check my muffler bearings...

This guy's videos are so, so well done! Funny as heck. I'm a pretty good "shade tree" mechanic, and I got so lost in his videos that he almost had me believing.....(no, not really...:rofl:).

I heard Fresh Air gets you better gas mileage!
