With new tires don't you need to run "Break In" air for 50-100 miles first?

Well, you sure as heck wouldn't want to run break out air!

Al, that was hurtful. Just for that I am not gonna tell you the proper number of gas cap clicks when using summer blend fuel.

Only so much I can withhold, Marcus. If he gets pissed off he may hit me with a get back whip.

and then there's the "Where do I put the valve stem cap?" when checking air.

I'm sorry Mick! ..I didn't realize that you were so sensitive.... The real truth about changing the air, that some fail to understand, is that it is location specific.... In my area with fluctuating temperatures this time of year, the proper method is a 50/50 blend of summer and winter air. In early morning temps the winter air molecules react to cold temperature and as the day progresses the summer and winter blend until the temps rise for the summer air.... vice versa in the Fall.....it is very scientific , ya know......
