So what’s the deal. It is said that putting Nitrogen into you tires will: -Give more consistent pressure all around -Reduced wheel corrosion -Cooler running tires -Increased tread life -Increased fuel mileage -Prevents uneven wear They charge per tire to have them filled with it… but isn’t the air we breathe something like 85% Nitrogen, anyway? Has anyone done this, and has it justified the price? Because I don’t see how it can do all the stuff it claims it can, other than reduced oxidation maybe. I’m going to go with waste of money until proven otherwise. ---

yea well they bent a brand new wheel of mine and tried to say it came like that./lol. Then the tire pressure was way off and the front wheels werent balanced correctly. I hope u do better work than the guy who worked on my wheels.haha ---

I think this is a better idea than Nitrogen. Good luck devising a way to catch them. Farts are evasive little bastards. I did hear that nitrogen is better for high speed driving (150+ mph), keeps the tires cooler longer & more accurate pressure readings. Since nobody on here drives that fast for any long periods of time, it sounds useless for a street car. ---

Because they are race cars that go 200mph. Not to go get groceries. The nitro has less pressure build up as temperatures go up then regular air does. ---

After working on a bonneville bound cobra mustang, I was fortunate enough to learn what good year has to say about nitrogen. The only substantial benefit is the lack of moisture. Which the same would be true for an air compressor with proper line dryers. There is where the consistency lay. ---
