jeremygsxr Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd at least contact them and tell them about your misfortune , and your situation (single father, working full time, full time student, trying to race full schedule, and anything else you might make up along the way lol) maybe they'll give you a discount or better.

Fonzie Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) For some reason it happens with tires not mounted than tires mounted. My uneducated guess would be that it's like double pane windows.....the sealed air/nitrogen in the tires acts like insulation/vapor barrier, so they don't as cold???
