  • Doesn't "fix" the problem
  • Can provide false security in an emergency

Guide Review - AirShare Emergency Air System

Simply by attaching one end of the product to any correctly inflated tire and the other end to the underinflated tire will equalize the pressure in both. However, doing so inevitably compromises the level of air pressure in the good tire as well, leaving you now with two tires that are not properly inflated. If a vehicle has been sitting parked and unused for a very long period of time (say the entire winter season), and one tire happened to have a slow leak. Using the AirShare product in this case could get enough air into the underinflated tire, enabling you to maneuver the vehicle out of its resting place and to an air pressure machine.

Additionally, this product provides a great way to inflate bicycle tires and sport balls.
