Default I use about 80% nitrogen...

In other words, air. I think that the supposed benefits of N2 are a load of cockroach ****.

Nitrogen molecules are larger than Oxygen so (in theory) less leakage and pressure loss...

Default Info on audizine, they say go to costco but they wont sell it to me unless i buy tires from them

Maintains steady air pressure
Less tire pressure maintenance
Less fuel consumption
Better vehicle performance
More tire miles

Runs cooler
Less expansion in varying temperatures
More tire miles
Non combustible
Less tire failures

No Oxygen / Moisture
No oxidation - slows tire carcass aging
No corrosion - damaging metal rust or aluminum oxide

Nitrogen has been used to inflate tires for many years by the airline industry, military aircraft, space shuttles and shuttle transports, NASCAR, Indy 500, Formula One, Tour de France, mining and earthmoving equipment. In fact, the new monorail in Las Vegas will run on nitrogen inflated tires.

Default Agreed. Why spend money to get an extra 20% nitrogen

air is already ~78% nitrogen naturally.

everything expands when it gets hot. just at different rates.
