I have never in 40 years of driving had any issues with tires related to the "benefits" listed in this thread.

This doesn't make my pareto chart of shite to worry about

One thing I do notice, since Costco put N2 in my tires. It seems like my low tire pressure light has never come on once in the two years I have had these tires, and when I check I always have 29/32 or within 5% (mfg spec)

My tires physically lose less pressure over time because they know I added Nitrogen? I didn't know they were so smart.

This is a pretty big scam...snake oil like.

Also, 100scf of nitrogen costs about $1.50-$2.00 in cylinder bottles. I assume you don't use even a 10th of that filling 4 tires. It really should cost you pennies yet isn't it around $50 or so for nitrogen tires?? Rip off

ETA- So i see someone calculated 36 cubic feet for 4 tires. It costs the dealership/tire company less than a dollar to fill all 4 tires.

I also don't worry about the winter cold or summer heat affecting the pressure and needing to adjust it.


This is BS.
