Tire Deflation...

[spressomon]

Hi All:

I have used one of those QuickAir devices for years. It is simple and does the job.

That said, I have a set of the Staun deflators that I have never been able to get to work worth a darn! ...Alan

Ditto! The QuickAir's just work. I tend to vary the PSI when off-road depending upon terrain, conditions and whether I'm towing or not so the Staun's are more trouble than they're worth to me. Matter of fact I need to list them over on the Parts for Sale forum .

Drill a 7/16" hole, and Tap with a ¼” NPT tap.

Now you have a thumb screw drain cock to air down while monitoring tire pressure on the valve stem. Works fast, works sweet, and does not break the bank.

I like the idea. It wouldn't work so well with internal bead locks though.

I have a hose that splits to all 4 tires with locking chucks. I watch one gauge and I can be sure that all tires are equalized. At the end of the trip I plug the hose into my OBA tank via quick connect and air them all up to street pressure. Too easy.

Its cute how everyone thinks the way they air down is so far superior to the way the other losers let air out of their tires.





I use stauns. They were expensive, but I'm happy with them.

I just carry a $5 valve core removal tool in each truck, and a few extra valve stems and cores.

Easy, quick, cheap.

Funny, when someone ask for opinions people give theirs.

IMHO a screwdriver type core remover and a pencil type tire gauge are the quickest, easiest way to get the job done. I carry them full time in the console. About half of our group uses this method, we air down, then stand around waiting for the rest to get done putzin with their toys.

Thats what i do as well, seems to be the cheapest way to get it done

and carry either lots of spare cores or a big magnifying glass also, right?

naw, i have a couple of extra valve stems that are complete with cores so if i loose a core i can rob one from there.
but i have yet to loose one that i didnt find before my tire went flat.
