What are the thoughts on filling tires with nitrogen air?

It will be lost if you have a leak and you won't find it at all sources of air for your tires. 93 Ford F350 Turbo Diesel, DRW, Crew Cab.

Works great for airline tires and some race car tires. Our Subaru has the Costco tire nitrogen thing. I my opinion it is a pain in the neck. Not readily available and can add extra expense. Put good old school American air in them and get on down the road. "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" GMC Duramax/Allison (LBZ) Komfort ....

Save your money and check 'em a couple times a season when your filling up with fuel. tmmar • View posts Nassau County, Long Island, NY Senior Member Joined: 09/03/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 05/23/10 10:59am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Better still, put the money into a tire pressure monitoring system so you can easily check the pressure daily from inside your rig. uksheila • View posts Arizona Full Member Joined: 06/25/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 05/23/10 11:09am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Hey, I like the last suggestion....I'll look into that. Having had a blow out on the I-10 at 70 mph, I want to feel safe on my wheels. Thanks everyone!

If you can get it done for free.....it won't make much difference, so why not? I doubt that you would notice any difference in the ride of the tires on a car, and on a trailer, you'd never know the difference.
