Default Time to change the air in your tires

(Shamelessly stolen & edited from the garden & lawn tractor forum)

Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of removing
the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the
temps hit 60. Last year I made the ghastly mistake of allowing my mechanic
to change my air, and darnit if he didn't put RV air in my beloved Emeraude.
The poor green baby shook and sputtered terribly, and had flat tires within
an hour. Luckily my rims were not ruined.
Remember to use caution when jacking up your planes, and do not be
fooled by cheap imitation spring air offers on ebay - you need genuine,
temperature and pollen tested spring air for successful homebuilt aircraft
use.

Happy Spring!
