when is someone going to invent an easier way to inflate car tyres?

surely i'm not alone in feeling that inflating my car tyres is a crucial yet so tedious job.

when is someone going to invent a drive through machine where you can get it done without getting out of your car?

or valves that you dont have to manually take off, or at least screw off?

If you mean the dustcap then the clue is in the name.

valves don't like dirt so you need a cover of some sort considering the location and operating conditions.

If you actualy need to put air in a lot then you have a problem


Get a gauge and a tyre inflator then it is much more convenient at home.
Not expensive when on sale.

Apart from getting a couple of fingers dirty unscrewing the caps, I don't mind it...

Soon... we won't have to get out of our cars for anything. We won't be able to get out of our cars because we've got so fat, we're now stuck fast.

Seriously though, how hard is it to inflate 4 tyres? lol

There was a chap working on a self inflating tyres idea, but he died, and there was no Heir to progress his work. (:-D

(Sorry....bad night. Too tyred for anything better.)

Really?? c'mon really?? Is this a follow on thread about air no longer being free??

It takes a couple of mins MAX to add a bit of air to your tyres, it takes longer to refuel your car wonder if they can make that automatic for you aswell.

also you should be checking your tyre condition as you are checking the tyre pressures

well when someone invents the automatic-air-o-inflater i'm sure they will have an automatic-tyre-o-checker too lol.

Its a two min job that you should only need to do once in a blue moon. Get a tire pressure gauge to have at home.

If you're having to get them inflated regularly then you've got a problem with your tires that you need to get addressed.
