Default Nitrogen in my tires

Hi All,
My wheels came with nitrogen. Should I continue looking for places that provide it or do I just switch to air??

Hiya,
VERY recent thread on this subject. Do a search (search box above right corner) on ventilation.

Personally I just go with air, haven't notice any real difference with nitrogen. I understand the science behind it, just don't see it!!!

Air is mostly nitrogen. people been using air since pneumatic tyres were invented and air is free, that is untill the damned government figures out some way to tax you for it.

Nitrogen is not suppose to fluctuate as bad as air, colder temps will reduce air pressure in an air filled tire, molecules cannot move as quickly, where as nitrogen has less molecules, there for is denser, and the loss is not as significant...

well as far as i know

Basically you have to keep an eye on your tires no matter what... so if its low you need to add, and well if their nitrogen filled that means a trip to the garage...

if you have your tires on winter rims, then ok, but if your using your rims both winter and summer and switching the tires, your loosing your nitrogen when they take your tires off...

if you get a leak or a puncture, there goes your money...
i say fill with air, it seems to be working just fine/
