Nitrogen filled tires
Yes, it works on plane tires. Yes, it works on race cars.
Does it have any benefit on street cars? Im looking for personal experience. I saw that Costco is now offering nitrogen filling, which surprised me...since discount tire and the rest are not. (For those that dont know, Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not contain water vapor like compressed air. Nitrogen leaks much slower than air, as well - meaning tire pressure should remain almost constant for much longer.) The thing is, I want to say I remember seeing costco selling it for $5/tire. ...Nitrogen doesnt cost that much... |

5 bucks a tire doesn't seem too bad.

Yeah that would be cool, but not very cost efficient. That might be something cool to do in the summer time though...
