Re: Flat tires
A nitrogen tank from your local gas supplier is surprisingly inexpensive, as is a regulator and cart. After every annual, I jack up each wheel, expel the air, fill with nitrogen, expel again, then fill. I find I typically need to top off the nitrogen less than half as often as I do air. 2200 psi initial fill, it’ll be a decade or two before I need to bring it back for a fill.
I also get to rationalize another toy for the hangar...
