Best rear tire filler for cold weather

This may sound dumb, but my advice is call your local tire/agg dealer - here it is the COOP and have them come out. It cost me $50 to have them come out to check, and top off. Money well spent as he spotted some loose nuts while he was at it (he torqued everything as part of the service). Builds a good relationship, especially if you have a weekend issue.

The beat juice in my tires smells just divine. Only smell it when I re-air the tires, and a bit comes out the stems.
Directly to the sink to wash hands, for sure.

that is a good point soundguy. i feel kinda dumb now. i didnt even think about radiator hose. However it does seem like they do fail more that they should compaired to other cooling system parts.

They're exposed to engine heat for long periods of time...

again. the tire store guys are morons for saying AF makes rubber weak.

no backing out of that one.

makes all the rest of their advice suspect.
