I had some tire work done at Costco last Saturday and they filled my tires with Nitrogen. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) They swear by it. Says it is way more stable than just regular old air. Anybody using nitrogen in their tires? Is there a noticable difference? Eddy

The magic word is dry nitrogen. Air has a lot of moisture in it. Using nitrogen in your tires you will not have the same rate of expansion you would with air. On track tires add 2-3# pounds to your starting cold pressures from when you were using air. Gives the tire a better footprint when starting out. When using air it is fairly normal to have a 7-9# difference between cold and hot pressures, with nitrogen it's usually 4-5#.
