Nitrogen Filled Tires
Has anyone tried filling their tires with nitrogen instead of air? Apparently nitrogen does not react as sensitively to changing temperatures as air does, therefore tires will not deflate in winter. Futhermore, since there is no oxygen in the tires, oxidization of the rubber will not occur thereby increasing the longevity of the tires. Does anyone recommend this option?

been posted about before. Its a marketing ploy... like global warming. Air is 78% Nitrogen. If you are that worried about air, get an air dryer which removes the humidity from the air.
