Is there any type of at home setup you can buy to refill your tires with nitrogen?

PT Barnum could probably come up with something for you.

If the thought is that the O2 leaks out your tires then by the 4th or 5th time you have to add air to a tire it is all Nitrogen anyway.

I can't recall the last time I had to put air in my tires between rotations. Maybe after a cold front.

Miserable when you need them filled though as it’s so hard to find anywhere that does it

Pangolin flatulence. So exotic & so rare! Their eclusive diet of ants & termites reduces the methane levels which is very noticeable when Edgar hits a pothole.

Good to know I didn't frick anything up filling my green capped tires with regular ol air.

Since the nitrogen mystery is solved, how about premium gas?

I have been using premium since getting my latest ride because the owner's manual says 89 or 91, can't remember.

Am I pissing away $0.40/gal on the higher octane fuel?

Don’t listen to the Neanderthals, Rooster. Nitro is what race cars use. It doesn’t expand and contract as much as regular air when the temperature changes. Look up welding and medical air providers. They sell it by the canister.
