does anyone know a place that can fill your tires with nitrogen in the monroeville area or not too far away from there? ---

I think the only benefit you would get would be better air retention (I question the better tread life, since I think it’s probably mostly air pressure based). Probably be better off just checking your pressure regularly. I know I didn’t answer your question, but it’s something to consider, unless you have another reason for going that route. ---

Propane is better in your tires. Way superior to nitrogen. Methane is okay too. ---

yea, I hear ya. The total of like 28 seconds to check the tire pressure in all 3 cars is pretty much unbearable. /sarcasm ---

no its not the fact of pulling out my pressure gauge thats un bearable its the fact that i have to drive each car to the gas station 10 minutes away to fill them up and the place isnt lit well which sux since i have to usually do it at night when i have time ---

I would buy a cheap hand/foot air pump to keep in the trunk regardless. Only place I saw was Andretti Toyota in Moon. ---

thanks, i saw them too i was hoping i would have that much of a drive to do it on since i wanted to get the mustang cobalt and grand am all done with it and thats a bit over an hour drive out there, also im not sure what kind of pump you are talking about, like a bike pump? i have one but i dont think it would work on cars, is there like a special car hand pump you are talking about? where would i get one at? ---

If you are filling your tires every 3 weeks, you have more issues than weather fluctuation. Nitro fill, christ :rolleyes: You understand it fluctuates as you drive and the tires heat up right? Thats why you are to check them while they are cold. ---

i know that it changes with heat from the tires rolling but i thought that it would only be a minimal change, but some of the times i can tell just by looking at them that they need air, the grand am is the one i have to do mostly it could be the aftermarket rims and tires but even on the cobalt stockers its still going down anywhere from 5 to 10 psi [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nitrogen-filling/180528.md?page=2)
