Our dog normally loves to guard the back yard for a good while. She hasn’t stayed outside for more than two minutes lately. She’s a boxer, so she doesn’t excel at cold weather.
I went out last night when it was -6° and my tires dropped from 34psi to 28psi. I added about 3-4psi and currently with 5° ambient air they seem to be holding at 34psi, which is perfect.
Hope you used a manual pump. I don’t get air compressors…
That was the freezer that was left open from what I can tell.

I just used my bike pump. I’ve got two compressors but if I’m just adding a bit of air it’s not worth turning one on and getting out the air hose and what-not.
I’d never really thought about using a bike pump on a car tire. those work fine?
It takes like a minute or a minute and a half to add 3-5psi to a car tire with a decent bike pump.
ya’ll live in the same city or something
Nope. We’ve met IRL.
Relevant, it’s blizzard here today. 100 car pileup weather. So SO has me dismantle the fridge for cleaning because we’re sure not doing anything outside. In the process, they start yanking out food they want gone - including a whack of turkey.
So, I got busy and made some turkey and rice soup. Just tasted it and OMG, yeah buddy. That’s supper right there.

I would think so. Car tires are like 35 psi and bike tires can go over 120 psi so the car tires would be easier to pump.
@Echo: U STAY IN DA HOUSE AN’ PROTECC FROM SKWURLZ AND BAD PEEPULZ LIKE MAYLMAHN!!! WHO’S A GUD GURL??? R U A GUD GURL??? OF COURSE U R!!!
Not as bad as last year but a 400% price hike is pretty steep.
Interesting, I guess you ride your bike with enormous car size tyres to make that comparison.
This reminds me, the tire pressure warning light was already on earlier this week, they’ll need a top up.
Word to the wise, if you’re going to get rims for your winter tyres to make them easier to swap, get the right size rims…
Ive seen plenty of folks that don’t fully clear their car of snow, but this is nuts

The guy driving an iceberg…yikes.
Damn it’s cold. We spent yesterday in NYC, with lots of walking around outdoors. Just got home. I’m relieved that the heat is still on and the water is running. Pretty sure that means none of our pipes froze.
Do Canadians spell tires both ways?
