Default Summer Air

Can't help getting this thread going again. Remember to remove the winter air from your tires and put in summer air. Also spray some baffle cleaner in those pipes.

I think it is better to run winter air in tires in summer. Keeps the tires cooler. I had some winter air shiped from way up north to put in my tires.
