tire air

Dumb question...I have nitrogen in my tires and it seems low. Can I put in regular air or do I have to put nitrogen? Thanks.

Mixing them is a bad idea, and personally I don't feel that nitrogen lives up to the hype.

My guess is regular air is perfectly fine.

When they mount and install a tire, it is going to start with regular air. Taking it up from say 29 to 35 with regular air certainly won't hurt anything. Air is 78% nitrogen anyway.

Yep, regular air is already over 75% nitrogen already. Wont hurt to mix.

How can mixing be detrimental?

FWIRead, not worth the added expense...not even for track wheels.
