The problem is that they don't purge the tire, so you get a tire filled with nitrogen and whatever water was in the tire from the original fill or bead-seating inflation.

I have a bottle of nitorgen in my garage that we use on the race cars but when I fill the tires in my Cab I use plain old air and I haven't crashed yet!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A local dealer sent me this e-mail... seems like a bargin.
Dear Robert,
Compressed air can be a tire's worst nightmare. Air is usually oily and wet, a nasty combination that over time destroys tire rubber compounds - not an issue with NitroFil, which contains less that 2% oxygen and is completely moisture free. Tires will stay at a consistent psi and will not be influenced by external forces of heat and cold.
Here are some benefits you may get with using nitrogen:
• Better fuel consumption and more miles to the gallon
• Extended tire life and increased tire mileage - Tires last up to 25% longer
• Smoother ride with better handling, braking and steering
• Fewer breakdowns, blowouts and tire fatigue
• Better stability and decreased rolling resistance
Did you know 90% of tire related accidents are caused by under inflated tires?
Did you know under inflated tires can adversely affect braking, handling and steering?
Operating a vehicle with just 1 tire under inflated can affect gas mileage and reduce that tire's life by 10,000 miles.
Also, according to Michelin and Goodyear, running tires at 20% under inflation can reduce the tire's life by up to 50% and affect fuel consumption by 30%.
The U.S.Department of Energy reports that 4 million gallons of gasoline are lost every day due to low tire pressure. Every day! You’ll burn 10% more fuel if 1 tire is just 5 lbs. low.
So, what are you waiting for? If you own anything with wheels that previously had air in them, it makes great sense to use NitroFil. To learn more about filling your tires with nitrogen, click here.
Hurry in and get the latest advancement in tire inflation! It will provide up to 97% nitrogen in your tires. For a limited time, we will perform this fantastic service for only
$69.95 tax

I can get my tires inflated for only $70 + tax... wow.
Rob - just use some of that expanding foam they use to insulate houses. After that stuff sets up, there will be no air leaks, no more driving on under inflated tires, no more flats, no more tire repairs! I can will fill 8 tires!
I have a bottle of nitorgen in my garage that we use on the race cars but when I fill the tires in my Cab I use plain old air and I haven't crashed yet!
$70 is insane. You can buy enough nitorgen to fill 100 cars for less than that.
I've watched the local tire shop sell that stuff. The problem is that they don't purge the tire, so you get a tire filled with nitrogen and whatever water was in the tire from the original fill or bead-seating inflation. It's the equivalent of selling bottled water at $4/gallon. Without the cost of plastic bottles.
The letter is pure BS.
Tires were designed and engineered to be filled with air.
Virtually all tire shops have filters on their air lines that remove moisture and oil from their compressed air source.
Heat is a tires worst enemy which will occur if the tire is run at too low of pressure, regardless of what gas it is filled with.
Tires are damaged from exposure to the elements, especially exposure to ultra violet light (sun) and ozone and certain industrial pollutants, not from any kind of dirty air on the inside.
Benefits stated are for nitrogen inflated tires @ correct pressure v. air inflated @ INCORRECT pressure.
I just use fix a flat every month before I drive it throught the car wash machine..... I just deflate and add fix a flat, deflate and repeat monthly. The Senior Automotive Specialist (I just call him Buck) at the pep boys said this will strengthen my tires from the inside out!
Helium, I like that.
The only thing I agree with in the message from your tire guy is about how many cars have under-inflated tires. I was stuck in traffic this morning and checked out other driver's tires. Well over half the cars I saw had significantly under-inflated tires. Don't these people ever check the tire pressure?
$70 each? That doesn't sound too bad. Same price for the summer grade nitrogen as the winter grade? Would they charge extra to dilute the nitrogen with about 21% oxygen and 1% argon? I find that mix works well.
And if you read the specifications for the machines they use at places like Costco you'll notice that the machines can only produce 95% nitrogen at best. So you still have 5% of some random gas that expands and contracts exactly the same as nitrogen...
Humm... I hate to be the one to break this to you "Mr. Statistician", but I don't believe your answer is correct. Let's see... 100% minus 78%..... borrow from the "1"… now borrow from the "10".… OK.… subtract.... OK.... subtract.... OK.... got it! The answer is 22%. I may not be a statistician, but I did drive past a Holiday Inn Express once!
Hi Dell!
I went to the dealer and filled them up...I even paid 70 extra just because I know they need the money!!
I almost floated home.....my P went from 16mpg to 46mpg....it is amazing!
Once upon a time, in a Nitrogen land.......... Bunch of cr##.
Be afraid, be very afraid.......
This is one of the biggest scams I've seen in 30 years. Must have started in Nigeria.
Worth every penny, even if it was double what I paid......pressure stable for last 4 months, car handles better on my PS2's and the tire wear looks very even, etc., although there are other facters at play......
PS - I negotiated the price down from $ 9 per tire....
Meh, maybe for you. I've used it in my truck, where the pressure in the rear tires is quite critical to handling (long story). Air loses a pound of pressure for every ten degree drop in ambient temperature. Nitrogen didn't. It was nice to be able to check my tires once a month and be reasonably confident that the pressures were stable in the meantime. YMMV and all that...
I think there's some validity in using Nitrogen... my concern is being fleeced by my local dealer for $70.
I'd pay $70 for them to fill my tires if it included getting fluffed by the cute receptionist - otherwise, not so much.
Please, I mean no disrespect to any one, but there is NO compelling reason to use Nitrogen when filling tires. The key to all this voo doo is "DRY". Check the gas laws, there is extreme little difference in the coff. of expansion of different gasses. You can use any gas you want as long as it is DRY. DRY air will work just as well as dry Nitrogen or any other gas you have handy. End of story.
Ever watch them mount a tire? First thing they do is put that soapy solution on the bead which is mostly WATER which ends up where, in the tire. Now we have a tire that they just put water into and now they tell you they want to charge you some silly amount for supposedly dry gas to be put into your wet tire. This whole thing is just wrong.
Then I guess a magic genie kept my tire pressures consistent from fall to spring. Damn. If I'd known, I don't think this is how I would have used the wish...
