Best to keep the warm summer air in the tyre , that will stop the tyre getting too cold lol

Nah, we we all know you should be putting nitrogen in them ...

I put 79% Nitrogen in mine.

Air composition is as follows

If we are getting this technical, I have two questions does the composition change under pressure and also does it change under different temperatures?

No and no

The composition of air won't change due to changes in pressure or temperature.

The seasons don't alter the composition either in any meaningful way - in theory the trees might be asleep in winter but any change as a result locally in the composition of the atmosphere is more or less zero and soon changed when the wind blows.

I don't know what the message from your OP is. It may be from somewhere which has extremely low winter temperatures and moisture in the air used to fill it in summer freezes in winter. That sounds a bit far fetched but perhaps a tyre inflated in the tropics in summer might suffer problems in an Alaskan winter with ice forming in the tyre.

OP was a joke only added questions as a windup

Cheers. But at least I discovered there can be a difference between winter and summer air - albeit small and short-lived.

The moisture in the air depends on humidity not the time of year.

Yes but what you don't want is that mucky foriegn air, all Hymers come with German air in them and should be changed as soon as possible for good old British air.

That's total discrimination against German air. I shall wrote to the BBC to complain.

 

[Rolly]

Guter Gott not the BBC their air is awful.

When I worked for Castrol, they had a department that went around in specially built trucks to change and clean or renew the oil inside electrical transformers. The tale went that there was a new model Siemens transformer that needed serviced for the first time, so the Germans sent an engineer to supervise the operation. The guy from Castrol asked how much vacuum will the transformer stand, the German replied "It is good German engineering, it will withstand any vacuum."
The guy connected up his truck and set the pump off at full power. After a short while, the transformer imploded, the trucker looked over to the German and said "German engineering, but British vacuum !"

My Auto-Sleeper arrived in April with fresh English Spring air from the factory in the Cotswolds.

Bearing in mind most motorhomes are built on a Fiat/Peugeot chassis at a factory in Italy where the wheels are fitted, the tyres are surely filled with pasta!

@Stretto Boy I found that its best to fill tyres in either summer or autumn as filling with compressed spring air gives too bouncy a ride , even if done in the Cotswolds

Another thing to consider is to make sure that your fridge freezer produces fresh ice and not that frozen rubbish that some of the cheaper models do.
