|  Nitrogen in Tires - general What do you guys think about putting nitrogen in your tires vs regular air? Think it is worth paying 10 bucks per tire to ensure that the pressure will stay longer and that the dryness will not cause any issues with the rubber? I think it is pretty good, since any issue with your tires can be the difference between life and death? Anyone know of a place that will inflate with Nitrogen vs air?

| i dunno...don't 99.99999% of vehicles on the road use normal air? get a small air compressor and check your tires before every ride. Your tires should be replaced every so often anyway due to wear. Not really sure why you would use nitrogen. ...isn't air mostly nitrogen anyway?...like close to 80% nitrogen in air. in paintballing nitrogen and air fills are used synonomously
