THE IDEA WITH NITROGEN IN TIRES IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT NITROGEN DOESN'T EXPAND WITH HEAT.YOU AIR YOUR TIRES UPTO 35PSI COLD AND WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD THE HEAT GENERATED DOESN'T CAUSE THE PRESSURE TO INCREASE.tHE ONLY REAL BENEFIT FOR IT IS RACE CAR TIRES WHERE YOU ADJUST THE TIRE PSI FOR HANDELING AND WANT IT TO STAY THERE. sorry about the caps.
i hate to tell you all this, but my uncle is in the buisness and they just use almost regular air and call it Nitrogen. the difference cannot be known unless you are a pro.
They have been using nitrogen in aircraft tires for years( as far as the Air Force goes). Nitrogen is also drier and will not corrode the insides of your rims.
