Default No Air In The Tires!

I invested in a jack/lift this past fall to keep my tires off the cement floor of my basement.

Just lowered it down and off the jack in prep for next weekend's release into the outside environment.

Tire pressures on 10/07front tire: 31 psi
rear tire: 37 psi

Today's tire pressuresfront tire: 25 psi
rear tire: will not move the gauge![]

What happened?

Bro's, what is the easiest way to get air back in my tires? I do not own a compressor, and the closest air outlet is a mile away. Help me out with an easysolution....

Any idea why they went flat over the winter when the wheels were both off the ground? Makes me wonder what I am going to do next winter....

I use one of those old foot pumps from any general store you can find. It won't take you too long and easy to store. Need a little air on the next trip and quick and easy to pump a few times.

Don't need compressors and gas stations. Not for air anyhow.

I just used one of those foot pumps. I suppose it depends on the tire, but on the sportster the tires don't hold much air. It took less than five minutes. I wouldn't expect the mustang to be too hard either with it's oversized rims, but the wrangler might be a bitch. Originally I bought a electric one that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but the cheap thing broke. It was too late at night for an exchange and I had the foot pump setting there and decided to give it a try. Wasn't bad at all.

Check with your friends/co-workers. Somebody has to own one of the little plug in the cigarette lighter models.
If not, than plan "B" the aforementioned bicycle pump.
