    I know the answer. My auto mechanic says I am extra-special so he treats me real good. He gives me a discount and only charges $29.95 to change the air in all FOUR tires! He even does the spare for free. According to Jim Bob, the air should be changed every 6 weeks or every fourth Tuesday, whichever comes first. I'm getting my horn tuned this Friday.

    that's bull crap!! discover yet another mechanic. in no way heard of fixing air in tires, ever. Makes even much less experience for nitrogen crammed tires as nitrogen is extra sturdy. organic nonsense!! can no longer have faith they quoted $350 as a results of fact you ought topersistent to the gass station, jack up one corner at a time and spend in line with threat $20 interior the air pump device to empty and top off the tires.

    You don't have to change air, just check the pressure every week, and keep the tires up to the recommended pressure, usually around 30 psi on most cars...

    At least every 30 days or so because after that the air gets what they call flat, and you don't want anything with the word flat in it in your tires for goodness sake.

    you don't need to change the air in your tires. all you need to do is to check it yourself every now and then with the PSI tester you can buy at wal-mart or any other autostore for like $1 and if the pressure of the air goes below 40psi then take it to a gas station and get the tire filled up until it reaches 40psi. its ok if it goes a little over 40 psi.

    Wow. Change the air in your tires, huh? Wow.

    Weekly: the air can get stale and cause a blow-out.

    Source(s): Change the air...WTF?

    Every 3,000 miles. Oh, and it would be a good idea to turn the tire inside out too. That way you will wear the tire treads down evenly on both sides.

    Why??? Just add air when they are low. If you want to do something really cool use nitrogen instead of air. The pressures stay constant and run cooler. NASCAR uses nitrogen too.

    You only replace air when the tire gets deflated or under-filled.

    LOL, THE MANUFACTURE RECOMENDS YOU CHANGE YOUR AIR EVEY 1000 MILES, UNLIKE CHANGING YOUR OIL EVERY 3000 MILES THE AIR PRESSURE CAN BUILD UP AND CAUSE YOUR ENTIRE CAR TIRES TO EXPLODE SHOOTING YOUR CAR SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET INTO THE AIR....SO JUST REMEMBER....KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR AIR PRESSURE
