Why it's IMPORTANT to use the Correct Air in Your Tires (Summer & Winter Air)!

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!

It’s scary how easily this man could convince me to destroy my car

I showed this video to my mom, whom actually believed she needed to get this done; just yesterday, she literally went to the dealership and asked if they could swap the air with winter air, since winter is somewhat soon...I got in trouble, but it was worth it.

Btw, if your tire looks flat, don't bother, it's only flat at the bottom, move it a bit so the pressure evens out

[Techademics]

For saying it's a joke, the effort you put into this video was impressive. The video is super convincing, I might swap out the winter air now thinking about it...

Somehow 75 years of experience didn’t tip me off but elbow grease did

My dad told me when I was a kid to always when driving an automatic shift to P (power) when going over 85 for a more stable ride. This works especially well with summer air. To this day I swear by it.

Holy shit, I just did this! I measured my top speed with winter air - barely 112mph! Then I switched to Summer air and I'm already up to 126!!! Thanks Chris! ✌

2:55 'If you are getting your car serviced, just ask the mechanic to fill your tires with summer air...'
God, please, i hope, i HOPE someone actually did that.

Stab your tires to quickly deflate them

I showed my wife this and she called a mechanic.

The mechanic was like " ummm uhhh yeah... we can change your tyres to summer air. What type of summer air tho do U want, the standard or the premium summer air?" What a crook hey trying to take advantage

[SkiDooRydr]

I just switched my tires from winter air to summer air and then it snowed again yesterday so I had to switch back to winter air so I could get to the store. Talk about a bummer. I wish they would make Early Spring Air so that I dont have to keep switching back and forth right now.


Love the EE collaboration!

The guys at auto zone were so helpful in getting my tires switched over to summer air they even called the police to help and the police let me try on the cuffs and ride in the back to the station

[b.worlds]

Wait so it’s just a joke, they charged me 40 dollars

[voidofmisery]

All the dislikes are people who used the wrong air

Always love your April Fool’s videos 😂

One summer I forgot to change the air in my tire and it completely melted the wheel and everything.

Today's date is Sept. 10th, 2019.
About 5:39 in, I thought to myself "Huh, I've never seen cans of summer or winter air before on those shelves."
Then it dawned on me.
I checked the posted date.
I'm ashamed to even call myself a minor enthusiast, gonna go trade in my Altima for a Yaris now.

I wasted 9 min of my time and believed it. 😤
