Anyone know if there'* a place that sipes tires in Western , New York area?

I am hoping this can be done at most tire shops, but I have my doubts, since I have heard nothing about this service until this thread.

Anyone know anything about tires being filled with something other than air? My brother bought tires for his wife'* car, and they filled them with co2... I could be wrong on the c02, but it was something other than air.

Possibly Nitrogen? It'* cheaper than CO2, inert, and has a very low moisture content?

PM me your EXACT city. I'll find you a shop that will sipe.

Mr. Bean. That'* perfect. I know exactly where hamburg is. I got my first speeding ticket there a long time ago.

This time It will be more of a pleasure to visit Hamburg.

Supposedly, the Hamburger was invented there. Just a little useless info for you guys. This would explain the name of the town.. A hamburger was called a hamburg back then. My dad used to call it a hamburg too.

ok, I'm getting off topic again.... oops..

Trust me I already did that and it did nothing. Guess I'll manage without it for awhile.
