Don't pay for Nitrogen in your tires from the dealer. Nitrogen in your tires a groovy thing, especially for cars with TPMS sensors. Nitrogen is a larger molecule and is less prone to escaping from the tire and as it's a "drier" gas it expands and contracts less than (not much less) than "air" and much more consistently so.

You can go to most discount tire places and ask for Nitrogen. I also ordered dual valve stem wheels for the race car for purposes of purging air and filling with Nitrogen. I like racing on Nitrogen and it's cheap. It's the 4th most abundant gas in the universe after all.

So yeah.. Nitrogen good but nitrogen as a "add-on" at the dealer... not good.
