[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 637141, member: 52972"] Nitrogen in the tires has nothing to do with the expansion rate of nitrogen. I though it was more stable under temperature fluctuations, but that is not the case. Nitrogen has larger molecules and so it does not permeate through the pores of the rubber and leak out. A typical air filled tire will loose an average of about 3 psi per month, but nitrogen filled tires will retain their pressure much, much longer. There are also claims that the nitrogen reduces the oxidation of the rubber inside the tire since the oxygen in the tire is dramatically reduced. Keeping your tires properly inflated improves gas mileage, reduces tire wear and improves the overall safety of the vehicle. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
