[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 637142, member: 56140"] All my vehicle tires are filled with Nitrogen. I have my own tank. Costs me about 9 bucks to fill that tank and I can fill about 4 sets of passenger tires with on tank fill. On the motorhome, I can get two tires filled, but they are large tires with about 85 PSI in them. I do notice the tires run cooler and they stay right where I set them. Nitrogen is clean. No moisture in those tires. Moisture causes the tires to expand at different rates depending how wet the air was when you filled them. As for purging the tires, here is what I do. I empty the air out of the tire. I think shoot nitrogen into the tire. Wait a minute or two, then I let the air back up before I fill it with Nitrogen. It is impossible to get all the "air" out of the tire, but I am getting most of it out. My prediction... Within 5 years, Nitrogen will be mandatory on all new cars. Many items we see on our cars today are directly from racing aplications. Nitrogen is no different. It is one of the many reasons auto makers are into racing. It sells cars and it is great R&D.
