What do you think of inflating tires with nitrogen?

  1. Before you go accusing others of not knowing what they're talking about,
    you should get your own facts straight. You've GROSSLY exaggerated the
    effects of moisture in the air in a tire. The truth is that from a
    practical matter, it simply doesn't make any difference. If you want the
    truth, go to the following link:

    Putting nitrogen in car tires won't hurt anything, but it's not going to
    make any performance difference over the life of a typical car tire
    either, especially if you check your tire pressures once in a while. If
    you can get if free anytime you want, great, but if you have to pay for
    it or go out of your way to get it, you're wasting your time and money.

    The guy at Costco is still an idiot.
