Somewhere somewhen someone (probably you or me) has taken a nitrogen thread and turned it toward stale air.  Ain't no way it hasn't happened :huepfenlol2: .

Agree & indubitably because the internet has everything.   :huepfenlol2:

I miss the old days, when we got great internet tire facts like if you ride a German bike the tires need German air, Italian bike - Italian air, American bike - air from country your tires are manufactured in.  Chinese bike tire air is by now under quarantine conditions because, well, you know.... :huepfenjump3:

Am changing out the winter air in my tires for spring air this week.  :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for the reminder.  I do the air change when I change the clocks.

It costs a little extra but I get the multi-viscosity air so don't have to deal with seasonal changes.

I'm liking the sound of that.  Annual vs semi-annual changes would save me a lot of both time and money.  Would make sense to do it when it's on the lift for the muffler bearings (the updated sealed bearings).  :2vrolijk_21:

I used to do the same, but noticed the tire was wearing out from the inside at a much faster rate due to the viscous friction in the warmer months when the Florida air gets very humid and internal tire air quality plummets due to excessive Global Warmings.  You are lucky to live in Missouri, your MO air does not cause this type of problem.

Those are a much better option and metric muffler bearings can last up to 2.34% longer than the English version.

Florida air is lumpy  :huepfenlol2: .

It's the only place I've ever ridden where the air is as hard as the bugs that are in it.

True.  Lumpy and bumpy air in the swampy bug infested jungles of Florida.  Lately the widespread outbreak of coronavirusweareallgonnadiebuyallthetoiletpaperyoucanfind plus our usual frenzied panics have increased the viral viscosity of our lumpy air to where some bugs just sit on it and do not need to use their wings to hover.  :o

The Dunlop D402 tires seem to be especially prone to lumpy air issues.  Am having trouble finding a social network lawyer to discuss internet type litigations because most of the social network lawyers have decided to become social network infectious disease Drs. and viral outbreak specialists.   ::)
