Re: Darn Tire Pressure sensors
 

I've mentioned this before and to some it's ludicrous.
I've got plain ol' air in my tires O.K.!!! :-)

A lot of tire shops are now recommending putting nitrogen in
the tires instead of plain ol' air. Apparently the nitrogen
has a bigger molecule which leaks less and doesn't change pressure as
much from temperature as plain ol' air does.

I've seen a brochure from a tire shop recommending the above but they
were charging 14 dollars for it ......LOL

Re: Darn Tire Pressure sensors
 

Yup, they have the warranty going so it goes back to them for the air
change out.

I have pure homegrown air here now to top them up. I have a compressor
now.
