I remember some site blocking the word breasts a while back, that pissed off a few ladies who were discussing breast cancer,

Nitrogen

Have Nitrogen in mine since I am going for the whole "more MPGs" thing. The shop sucked the tire totally against the rims. I have worked on cars all of my life and never seen anything like it! They still lost 15psi each over the winter. So much for holding pressure. I'll try anything once!!

Nitrogen is just another scam...they're "selling" you the stuff that makes up 78% of the atmosphere anyway.

Think about it, if it's just the 22% of the air that's not nitrogen you put in that escapes or reacts with the rubber as the tire loses pressure, you replace that 22% with air, now the contents are up to 95% nitrogen, once the 5% has escaped, you're down to 1% after topping up...so the maintaining pressure long term argument from reduced leakage theory doesn't hold...air?

There is another thread that that talks about this NitroNize Your Tires??? Anyone done this yet??

I had Nitrogen put in my tires at Sam’s Club, they charge $5.00 per tire to get it done. Only time will tell if it is worth it or not. So far it seems to be stiffer than air but it might just be all in my head . Oh well…
You know, I have not paid attention to any of that so i really don't know if your serious or joking but it sounds really funny to me. helium in the tires!

I guess what you fill your tires up with could be indigenous to where you live. For example,passing through Alabama and filling your tires up with "grits."
