Tires galore

[Frupal]

After my pothole debacle I replaced both front tires. I kept the one without the bubble, just like I did with the rears a couple of months ago. So now I’ve got virtually new tires all around and two spares in the garage.

I know that this is a bit dorky, but the new fronts don’t have nitrogen, just plain old oxygen, so I’m going to Costco this morning to get nitrogen all around. Probably get a hot dog while I wait. Busy day.

Your plain old air is 78% nitrogen already. Refilling with nitrogen is absolutely a waste of time. Unless you are selling nitrogen.

How about the hot dog?

Hotdogs

Based on the video, you should skip the "dogs" also.

hahaha WWC comments really did make me giggle. All this nitrogen malarkey on cars is an absolute waste of time unless of course you are intending to fly your 6er at 40K feet in the air when you do want 100% nitrogen filled tyres to stop water vapour freezing.

id give the hotdog a pass as well, save the cash you'd spend on both the nitro for the tyres and the 'dog' and head out for a nice al la carte somewhere mate

The only time I have seen nitrogen make a difference is when it’s gets cold, like really cold and sometimes tires begin to show lower pressures on air, during one winter that didn’t happen when I had a Maxima. But I agree with Walt, it’s more of a selling scheme dealerships offer.
