How often does one change the tire air (increases mileage?)

[big_john]

Since all tires lose air over a perior of time, the residue left behind is heavier. The lighter molecules pass through the porous rubber sidewall and leave all of the rest behind. Over a period of time, this residue can add weight to the inside of the tire.

How often does one purge (change) the air in the tires? With less residue in the tires, wouldn't it make sense that the mileage would increase due to the tires weighing less?

Thanks in advance, y'all.

Did anyone ever tell you that crack is bad for you? But to answer YOUR question, if I were you, I would change the "air" in my tires each and every day! Although I recommend doing this while the vehicle is actually being driven, this can make the procedure more complicated. You may even have trouble getting a friend to help you do this. But a loyal friend will always be willing to help. If not then get your Mom to help you.

you know usually i disagree with the normal answer but that answer is right on. the only thing he didn't mention is that you should release the air from your tire with your face.

i hope your kidding

You, my freind, are a dumb aszs. Only if the tires were meant to last several THOUSAND years would your question be valid. The amount of "molecules" that you are afraid will "build up" in your tire would take an infinity to cause any significant weight change.

I suggest that you do as the others have said; change the air with your face.

i stand behind my statement 110 percent and it is pretty apparant that this unfortunately is the dumbest question i have ever come across.

You're the dumbest question I've ever come across, that's why you're banned, fightanddrink. You know you'd be more successful at fooling the mods, if you followed the guidelines, it's your assholeness and lack of intelligence that gives you away everytime you come back.

You got me and others just followed. It was an insightful April Fools question. I guess I can stop worrying about all the air residue that sticks to my lungs when I breathe.

Wow that's almost as good as the guy who asked what the wire under the driver seat was for, but on a serious note there is one thing that trucks with bigger tires need to be concerned with. When I worked at a tire store on the west coast the hardest tire to balance was the big ones and one thing customers had problems with is bad air (Moisture getting into there tire's) when you get air for your tires You should make sure it is from a good source (moisture traps are prefered), I have seen as much as a half cup of water come out of big wheels and that can severly screw up your ballance. also if You have steel wheels it will rust them out bad, and there is the idiot's who use fix a flat which will corrode Your rims faster than water.

I can see how that might happen to a large tire that never has the opportunity to heat up on the highway, such as a trail duty only vehicle that is trailered everywhere. Dual use vehicles that see some highway time are far less likely to have water build up from condensation because as the tire is superheated, the water vapor simply passes through the rubber carcass. Granted only a very small amount of moisture can be handled this way. What we are really talking about is humidity. But to be on the safe side, do as the above post suggests and use a compressor with a water trap.

Your driving habits also affect the progression of wear and tear that your tires will endure. Common sense will tell you that spinning your tires on pavement can harm the tread, but you can also damage your tires by starting, stopping, and turning quickly. To preserve your tread and get the optimum use out of your tires, drive conservatively and avoid hitting or scraping curbs.
