It occurs to me that after the first time you refill the tires --- which is likely to take a very long time --- you might decide that it's not worth the effort. The typical affordable small compressor will take a very long time to fill the tires from a low level of pressure. Indeed, the last 5 or 10 psi can take plenty long as it is...

Steve and Betsie,
I was in the tire business for a number of years and have never heard of that one. I don't see how it would make any difference in tire life. But you would get fresh air in the tires.

Hi Folks,
Just had a very smart tire guy tell me to deflate the Bird tires to 10 psi or so (obviously with HWH jacks down) and reinflate with a portable compressor before my next trip and the tires will more than quadruple their life span! I've read a few messages here about tires and wanted to know what you guys think? Thanks.
