  • I show why is it important to not only fill your tires up to the correct pressure but also use the CORRECT AIR! Learn how to replace winter air, with summer air!
    Most people know when filling your car or truck tries that you need to fill it to the correct air pressure. What people dont know, is the air that goes into the tires is just as important. Winter air is cold, dry, and dense, therefore heavy while summer air is warm, humid, and light. Running winter air in the summer will cause lower tire pressure and decreased fuel economy (mpg). Running summer tire in the winter, will cause loss of traction and over inflated tires which could lead to a blow out!

  • @tibsie
    @tibsie 3 년 전 +6

    Some very important information that Chris didn't mention.
    If you live in a climate that doesn't experience large seasonal temperature swings and you drive a front wheel drive car, the best thing to do is to use Winter Air only on the front axle to increase traction for accelerating, steering and braking. Then you can use Summer Air on the rear axle because they don't need as much grip and can benefit from the performance benefits of Summer Air. Not only that but you won't have to change your air twice a year.
    But no matter where you live or what you drive, make sure that BOTH tyres (I'm British) are filled with EXACTLY the same air. I'm surprised Chris didn't mention the disastrous consequences of driving with mismatched air.

      @@78kurenai well your blinker has no fluid because you need to add some.

    Oh my god thank you for this! Now I know why I hear splashing every April! It's because the dry air melted 🤦🏿‍♂️ This also explains the occasional crinkling and popping noises in the fall.
