re: Nitrogen in tires?

Well the idea is that Nitrogen molecules are larger so they don't seep out of the tire over time. So your tires stay properly inflated longer, which means better mileage and less wear. Nitrogen also is dry so no moisture on the inside of the tire to corrode things in theory.
My own personal experience with nitrogen in my tires is that I never worry about checking the pressure. When I go and get the oil changed or the tires rotated, I have them check the pressure and top it off. After as long as 6 or 8 months, I have never had them be more than 1/2 lb low.
I also don't worry about the winter cold or summer heat affecting the pressure and needing to adjust it.

Totally dis-proven by the fact he's asking to top off tires due to pressure loss.

With nitrogen I found I was getting less change in pressure depending on the temp of my tires. Say only a 1 or 2 psi change vs a 3 or 4 psi change with air.
I am picky about my pressures on my car. For your everyday SUV I wouldn't worry about it.

This is BS.
