Also remember from Science class? regular air is 79% nitrogen already! IF the shop you buy your tires from drains the water from their compressor tank regularly LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO...you will have no problems with water rusting your rims. This is a gimmick that they thought up to get another $40 bucks out of people when they sell them tires! It is ABSOLUTELY NOT necessary and is a waste of money! Put ordinary air into your tires just like we have been doing for 100 years. Check the pressure in them monthly just like you always do and you will have no problems. By the way...Dont buy 'Road Hazard' insurance either. It also is a rip-off. Also, make them put new Valve Stems in for FREE when you buy tires. They only cost 20 cents a piece but they usually try to charge 6-8 bucks for them. Mounting and balancing should be free as well when you buy tires. Alot of private shops do this... So insist on it wherever you shop! Good Luck! Dually is correct. Also remember from Science class? regular air is 79% nitrogen already!

Otherwise it is an Urban Myth that Nitrogen will do anything that regular compressed air has been doing for the last 100 years. And I like many of the answers below. Let us know if Nitrogen is right for your tires But unless you evaculate the tire to 30 inches of vacuum before filling all that space inside the tire will still be filled with oxygen.

The advantage that I have personally observed is nitrogen has a more predictable change in pressure as temperature increases. This is because you do not have the unknown factor of the amount of moisture in the compressed air. This is important because you are looking for an optimal "hot" pressure and you start off the race with a "cold" tire. To contradict what someone else said, all gases change pressure as temperature changes. Nitrogen will not have a constant pressure over a temperature range, just be more predictable. For road cars the only real advantage that I see is that you do not have any oxygen or water inside the tire. This might prolong the life of the internal structure of the tire by preventing corrosion, or it might not. I don't think it would make a difference over a few years. I do inflate my trailer tires with nitrogen, because I never use my trailers enough to wear the tread off the tire before they fail from tread separation, dry rot, or cords slipping. For a couple hundred bucks or less you can have your very own nitrogen setup for refilling your tires. I've used nitrogen inflation in racing car tires for a long time.

The dealer where you purchased it most likely has the machine which pulls the nitrogen from everyday air. Costco and Sams, and Discount Tire also use nitrogen. The advantage with nitrogen, is that nitrogen is less sensitive to air temperature changes, thus, you are more likely to maintain proper air pressure, and save on extra wear of your tires. Do not pay extra for nitrogen, if you check your air pressure on a regular basis, regular air will work, nitrogen just makes it easier. Regular air is 78% nitrogen, so you can mix the two, no big deal. Just maintain your air pressure and all will be good. Plano has Costco, Sams, and Discount Tire. Real easy!
