Only if its "hot air". You would not want to contribute to global warming!!

Did I mess anything up? I mixed Spring Air with Winter Air. Will this cause a problem?

You guys are funny. They charge $110 CDn on the wife's car with nitrogen it was already installed no refusing it. Complete bs charge for 50 cent worth of nitro.
Everyone knows winter air is fastest summer air is heavy and humid. That's what we use at the drags and save up for the salt.

Retarded **** like this is a perfect example of how pathetic these forums have become.

I drained and filled my tires with synthetic air before storing for the winter. I forgot that with the new global warming we would have more below zero days and nights than in the past....anyway....my tires now are floating about one foot in the air. The bike cover will not come off and my key fobs are randomly attempting to arm the system. My dealer claims the warranty has been violated and I will need to purchase new tires and air this Spring....whatever that is....

This thread is bumming me out...

My compressor DOESN'T HAVE A TANK!! So no summer air is stored up for me....what can I do? This winter air HAS to be killing my tires. I'm intending on changing the back tire sometime this spring (the Avon has 12000 on it), but how can I do that with only Winter air around my compressor? Will that void my warranty?

Ugh...I hate winter!

Best to keep a tight grip on them, there's no knowing where the little rascals will blow if they're left alone......
