Re: Nitrogen
The purpose of nitrogen is (primarily) for leaking, it is a larger molecule.
When the OEM's test for leakers they use helium as this is a very small molecule and can pass through more easily (alloys). There are some other claimed advantages such as less tire oxidation etc. but this is what the OEM's tell me. Hope this helps/...
