[QUOTE="user 62394, post: 637149, member: 62394"] RichardL, I hear what your saying about people not doing anything to maintain their cars and I agree with you about that. The problem that I see is I don't really think that the instance of low pressure would go down much if everyone had nitrogen in their tires. You'd still have the majority of people running on inproper pressure, because it is not just temperature or gas leaking through the pores (which I have trouble buying into) that results in pressure changes. And, yes, rubber does oxidize, but every instance mentioned here has been on a motorhome or something else that likely doesn't get used much. Lord knows that I have seen many an old tractor tire that is rotted out. So these are tires that have been around many years longer than tires on any typical car. When you are talking that kind of age, I still don't believe that the nitrogen would have changed a thing. Still a waste, in my opinion. Rocks [/QUOTE]
