How often do you flush the air in your tires?

I just discovered when I rub my tires down with snake oil, and put octane boost in my gas, that I get longer life out of my clean air in my tires.

Can someone tell me how to get the load button to work? is it supposed to tell you how much weight you are carrying, or do you punch in the weight? Mine isn't working and I can't find anything in the manual.

Do you have the floppy with the load data on it? If so, slide it into the slot to the right.

Since it appears spring has finally arrived in my part of Canada ( it got to 34F today!) I decided to give this air thing a whirl to hopefully get the greatly improved gas mileage. I managed to lose those core things (Buddy tried to convince me they are called stems, haha stems are on flowers not tires) and now I have some serious flat spots on my tires and the truck rides like crap! (but probably still better than a Dodge). I would drive it to the dealer to get looked at but I figure they would tell me it's not covered under warranty just like when I limo tinted my front windshield and asked the dealer for brighter headlights so I could see where I was going, but nope! Not covered under warranty...Idiots!

While doing the air thing with the tires, you might want to flush and drain the power steering fluid in your EPAS.

If all else fails you can fill them with expanding foam till the dealer can fix it.

that's dangerous, I would cut the tire off and ride on the rims.
