What I CAN tell you about nitrogen is that 8 months ago I bought a new set of tires for my dually, thought I let the dude con me into nitrogen until I went for my first "refill", (which BTW they do for free every 3 months),the rears hadnt lost any pressure, and the fronts had only lost 1 pound on one side, two on the other.Which I guesss normally would or could be normal.Went yesterday since I was in the neighborhood, 5 months after, and same results pretty much,They arent "losing" air like what I would consider normal.I use to lose 6 or 7 pds between checks, but for now it seems to be accually working like the guy says, and to me, FOR THE TIME BEING, that side of it seems to be working.Another thing I noticed, when I first got the tires, I couldnt get the fronts just yet, so I just got the rears.They also told me it would run cooler, well when I got home after buying the rears, indeed the rears were cooler, but most of my weight is in the front so I hooked up the trailer, loaded up my Farmall M and pulled it aorund an hour or so, and again, the rears were cooler than the fronts.When I had the fronts put on, the filled with nitrogen for free.Again when I got home, there was a noticeable feel in how warm the tires were,still warmer than the rears, but not as warm as the old tires which were still in OK shape. Now, am I sold on this, NO, but so far it has done exactly what I was promised it would do.
