[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 637158, member: 52972"] Rocks, My point is that if you do not have a leaking tire valve and you don't have any pinhole leaks in your tire, you will still loose an average of 3 psi per month. That's enough air loss to increase gas mileage and increase tire wear. If you do not wish to have to constantly check your tires, nitrogen might be a viable option. Nobody is saying you have to use nitrogen if you don't want to. I don't use nitrogen because I have an air compressor and do not find it that incovenient to check my tire pressures. For those of you who think putting nitrogen in your tires is a waste of money, In your situation you may be right, but don't ridicule others who find that maintaining a consistant air pressure is easier with nitrogen. Maybe in another 5 or 10 years, I will start using nitrogen in my tires, if I get too old to bend down and check them myself. :rolleyes: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
