Default Re: Is that so they can charge you $800 to fill the tires up when you come in?

I know nitrogen has been used in tires for a long time, I have a WWII B-25 pilot client, and he told me during the last 2-3 years of WWII, when it was available, all of the bombers in his group had nitrogen in the tires.
Where I live, it can be 25 at night and warm up to 70 in day, and I see a lot of fluctuation in tire pressure with air, and with nitrogen in my audi and p-car, I don't have that.
Realizing that air, already has a lot of Nitrogen in it, maybe that additional percentage, may help, but if it makes my tires last longer, I'm all about it.

Sorry we missed each other. I may be in Austin on business in a month/6weeks for a day or two, when I know the date/time I'll try to contact you in advance, and maybe we can get together. Larry
