Truck tire problems

Thanks Finzup. Yeah, I've heard of the break down and rotate thing. I got the tires from Summit racing, so I'm sure they will send me another if I got a bad one. They do have a 50K warranty on them. When I get the wheel I ordered I'm taking it to the shop and have them put my old wheel on the balancer with no tire and see what happens.

I know you all will laugh at this but I have a friend who every year about this time lets all his "summer air" out of his tires and switches to winter air.
He says it is heavier air and doesn't leak out in the cold temps like the summer air.
Yes he's from Ohio....

It may be a job for Myth Busters

The molectural structure of the sub atomic molicules in the winter air is much more denser than the summer air, once you put the heavier winter air in your tires at 32 psi then drive 60 mph for 1 hour check your tire air pressure it should be higher due to the fact you have now warmed the cold air up to expand the molicules, now if you believe this you are crazier than I am, cause I have no ideal what the hell I'm talking abought.

LOL well this does not prove anything but this is C+P from his email.
He sends it every year.


Just a reminder to change out your summer air in your tires for winter air. Just went out and checked all my vehicles and every tire was at least 10 pounds low. Something about colder air being more dense. I changed out the summer air for winter air and all is good. Make sure to check your tire pressure, your tires, gas mileage and your wallet will thank you!
