i guess it doesn't expand or contract as much as regular air. mostly used in motorsports.

Default I have it in my tires. The theory is that the molecules....

...are bigger than oxygen, so they don't leak out as easily. Therefore your tires don't need to be pumped up as often.

Default Exactly, thats why they use it in aviation

So the tires dont be affected so much by the high temperatures they can reach

Default Previous post on the topic

I still think that if tire stores (even Costco) are filling with Nitrogen and not charging extra, it must have some benefit...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1205558.phtml">AW nitrogen thread</a></li></ul>

Just put KDW's on at Costco and they inflate with nitrogen.
