I also hear the Z28 will have a higher interior roof liner so the mullets can fit better.

 

I got suckered into buying some of the recycled air several years ago. My car didn't run worth a crap. The Wal-mart air is good but i wanted something a little bit better. I went with Medical grade pure oxygen. I've been using this grad of air with very good results. I must add, if i ever get a slow leak all i have to do is hold a flame near my tire and 'BINGO'!!!, you will find the leak.

 

That's a good idea, David! I'll have to use it in the future...

 

Did you know in the winter months you may have to add air to your tires? That is if your in colder temps for a period of time!

 

Geez, all these pages (did anybody say not to change the air btw, I didnt feel like reading a bahzillion pages of bad puns and jokes), anyways.

No, you dont have to change the air in your tires - although finding someplace that can fill the tires will dry air (pretty much all the water filtered out) will probably be the best bet, unless you can get a nitrogen fill (wouldn't pay for it though).

Do check your tire pressure monthly or when there are some big temp swings since tire pressure will increase or decrease 1 psi for every 10 degree difference in temp compared to when the tire pressure was last set at a cold inflation value (ie; whats listed on the door jamb after the vehicle has sat a minimum of 8 hours).

Apparently this whole air changing thing got started because of seasonal swings in tempurature. People just started refering to it as winter and summer air, not realizing if the tires had been filled with "summer air" that when winter rolled around the tires would be low on pressure while tires filled with "winter air" would be over inflated in the summer.

Also as a rule of thumb, if you drive more than a mile set the pressure 4 psi high (ie; door says 30, if driven more than a mile set the hot pressure at 34 psi) then record and adjust as nessecary - obviously if the pressure is high, let some out. If its low record the pressure and drive someplace where the correct gas can be added and then only by the amount it was off.

 

Sorry, Killjoy.

 

I think Glenn's reeled another one in...

 

I know, but I've actually been asked that question before.

 

Just knowing it's here keeps me awake at night!

 

By reading this thread you know that your air is deteriorating overnight when you are sleeping.

Is it true that the new 2012 TPMS sensors will give you a code when it's time to change the air?

 

Yup with an internal Aqua Net dispenser for those humid days.

 

Yes! All the sensors send a code, but they transmit in Chinese, since that is where they are made. And, I was just getting good at reading the Japanese ones...

 

Actually, since it's the digital age, the reading is actually in binary, just like this clock (click the image for video)

 

Oh no! Not Binary...

Gives me a vision of the bomb that Predator has on it's wrist.

I wouldn't want my tires to explode just because I didn't change the air.

We're doomed!

 

just put my winter wheels and tires on. I figured I would go with the filtered water air Bob spoke of in his post. They seem ok so far.

 

Oh Look! A Walker Thread.
Glenn, that bait should be rancid by now.

 

I still yell at the screen when I see this thread.

 

No, not just filtered...distilled water air. Too many minerals in regular air.

 

Starting next year, Obama's EPA will require sensors in all car tires to monitor how long the air has been in the tire. After 5,000 miles or so, if not changed-the car will be disabled until the air is changed, and you will be fined. LOL

 

It's recommended that while your car is in storage, leave all tires flat. That's the only way you can insure that all the bad air is removed before you re-inflate them in the Spring.
