Summer Air GP intrest.

Ok so I see by some of the posts around here some of you are having a hard time finding summer air for your cars tires. Luckily I have a rather large supply of the current model year 2007 summer air stacked up in my garage and I maaay be willing to part with some of it IF enough people are interested.

Please note this is only to gauge the intrest and not an actual sale.....YET!

Now I know some of you may be asking "what are the bennifits I'll see for getting this summer air?" Well I'm glad you asked. You see when your tires are filled with winter air in the summer time the presure diferential from the temperature rise throws off the tire presure by as much as 50,000 psi. Now this can cause problems and even catostrophic tire failure resulting in death! Not cool! Also the winter air does NOT give the proper traction for a car such as the Cobalt and running winter air in the summer can lower 1/4 miles times by as much as 5 whole seconds since the tires "think" they are trying to drag race in the snow. For anyone who's ever tried to drag race in the snow you know there is almost ZERO traction!

So I'll be happy to answer any other questions you may have and depending on how many people are intrested I'll set the price accordingly.

If you buy extra summer air can you run summer air in the winter also? I would like to purchase some. If I buy more then one package will the price be cheaper?

List for Summer Air GB

1. R&C_rallySS (4packages for 4tires)

You know how it goes. I'll get some extra summer air, sell it back on ebay for a profit, make my money back. It's a never ending cycle!!

Besides, you can never have too much summer air.

YES! Believe it or not summer air WILL greatly improve your traction during the winter months cause......well just look at all the traction you have on a nice summer day VS a cold snowy winter day.

Summer air will also allow you to DRAG RACE in the winter cause your tires will not "know" there's snow on the ground!

Hmmm. Canada uses the metric system right? You may need to adjust for the difference but it should just fine for you too.

And I can ship it VIA carrier pigion if you'd like.

can we get some Colorado or Swiss summer air from up in the mountians? I understand it is denser and will greatly improve traction as well as tire life

Actualy that is a common mis-conception. Air from sea level is much denser then mountain air thats why with me living right here AT sea level will work for all altitudes.

When you install your sumer air if you live for example in CO. you may notice a slightly higher tire presure, DON'T PANIC! Just allow some of the air to blled off till you reach the proper PSI and you'll be fine.

That'll work I have nothing agaisnt you picking it up here. In fact I'll help you install it if you like.
