Fill the tires when they get low, use nitrogen if you want the inconvenience of not being able to find it if you need to top off the pressures.
I use what we breathe from a regular compressor, check them every couple months and top them off if they need it. I have gotten 30,000 miles of nice even wear out of the tires on my trailblazer with no issues.
Changing the air? Are you serious or is this another Direct Exhaust Injection type question?

S.D. you are supposed to rotate the air in the tires when you rotate the tires themselves. Front air is supposed to stay in the front and back air in the back. If you get a little front back action going it can end up being painful and unsafe for the driver.  |

Nitrogen is such a rip off. I can't believe the public is falling for this crap. |
