Now, say she's holding the handle on a pin-less hand grenade and you were on your way to the local army base to get some assistance in, you know, NOT getting blown to bits. Now say your great-great-grandma's got hte shakes and can't hold the grenade handle, manage the bees and fight the fire all at once and she winds up dropping the damned thing. You, in your present mindset, are NOT prepared to deal with a live hand grenade in the car and you make the conscious decision to leave the old bag in the car with the grenade and take a dive . . . except you were driving near the ocean and you wind up in the drink just as your car explodes.

If, in the off chance that one of the car's bumpers were to become ensnared around your neck, thus dragging you to the bottom of the ocean, just as a couple of your car tires came plunging in with you . . . you'd only have the contents of those tires to keep you alive until someone summoned help.

Now I ask you: Which would you rather have in your tires? Good old air, which you can breathe, or some &&&&ty nitrogen?

THAT'S why I don't put nitrogen in my tires. A similar argument can be made for not demagnetizing your tires.
