Once again, for the gullible....do NOT rotate summer air for winter air in your tires! Summer air is less dense. Winter air is colder and more dense. So summer air weighs less, and provides much better fuel mileage than winter air. Think: Less rotating mass, less unsprung weight.

Class dismissed.

Oh ! Now you tell me !

After all the years

Rotate , deflate , inflate

Yes . just messing around .

Seen the Nitrogen scam here locally ! A " few " tire chains charge for that Scam in my area . Not saying it is a bad idea , Nitrogen stays in a tire longer than standard compressed air . But some scam consumers !

Most vehicle manufacturers are going to nitrogen because of the ture pressure monitoring sensors in the tires. It doesn't have moisture in it that can damage the sensor

Correct ! PURE nitrogen in tires , is a plus ! Problem is , most dealers can not provide it . Nitrogen in tires drasticly reduces running temps . Nitrogen stays in the tires longer . Put super singles on a truck , run nitrogen , good results . I sold tires for major tire company in the 90's . Haven't kept up with the industry as much as I should have .

Well duh! You have to use dry summer air. Why do you think Arizona does so much exporting of the product?

The problem is you never get all of the air out, so you always still have SOME ambient air in there with moisture.

That's why you have to use the inline desiccant filter when you air up with the summer air!

C'mon guys, this is all 101 basic stuff!
