inflating tires with wheels off car?
alright, i feel a bit silly asking this but i searched and couldn't find a definitive answer:
i bought winter wheels/ tires for my g. i read to partially deflate my summers prior to storing for the winter. since i run nitrogen in my tires how do i get them inflated again in the spring when it's time to put them back on?
can i take them to the local garage and have them fill to the proper psi without them being on the vehicle? does it make a difference in the pressure reading if the tires aren't on the car yet?

The only difference would be if you had the tires and car heated up. For example you start your car you are around 35psi once you drive it for a while it will prob rise to 37-38psi since the air is now hot and expanded. That's the good thing about Nitrogen is it doesn't expand like air. And yea it doesn't matter if they are inflated on or off the car
