Has anyone used this? I saw an ad on Belle Tire saying they add Nitrogen to you tires and that it keeps them at the correct pressure longer. Is this another marketing gimmick? or is it useful?

It’s true, nitrogen pressure is less susceptible to changes in temperature than air is, so it’s more consistent.

i believe costco does this standard when you get tires/inflation from them. i was also curious as to how beneficial it really is.

It isn't anything great. If its free and part of the service, good. If you have to pay for it... it's . Just another marketing ploy to get your money.
