Re: Darn Tire Pressure sensors
 

you have to make sure you have a high quality tire pressure gauge and keep the
tires at 34 psi and you will have less problems

WHAT? The nitrogen pitch is just marketing --------? I'm so shocked
that I may not sleep well tonight.

I could not care less about the lack of 'pressure loss' when using
nitrogen: I actually slap a guage to my tires every couple of weeks and
if they're low, I fire up the compressor and fill 'em up, including the
spare.

But being able to brag to your buddies that you have pure NITROGEN in
your meats really sounds cool! LOL!
