The Nitrogen Tires thing was tested on Mythbusters and that myth was busted.

Tires Plus now has Nitro at $2.50 per tire. For $10.00 it’s well worth it.Larger molecule means lower heat on the road which leads to less tire distortion and less rolling resistance, as well as less pressure loss over time. I checked my Impala on the Interstate with Nitro and got 32.4 mpg, same trip without nitro I got 29.9.

Do you realize people are more likely to hand wash their cars than they are to check the tire pressure. Why wouldn’t you pay the money just to protect yourself and your family? Plus 9 out of ten times it’s a 1 time investment.

Gimmick….

If air is 80% nitro and nitro takes longer to leak out of the tire. Wouldn’t consecutive inflations increase the percentage of nitro inside the tire and therefore not require you to buy pure nitro?

Definitely a gimmick. As pointed out, air is almost 80% nitrogen already. Check the air in your tires whenever you fill your tank, that should be often enough and FREE. More important to save gas and wear and tear on your engine is to change your oil every 3 to 5 thousand miles and change the sparkplugs every 1 to 2 years. Avoiding speeding, hotrodding and jackrabbit starts and stops will save far more gas than nitrogen in your tires.

Sounds like a gimmick to me. Why not check your tires once a week or so and fill them up when necessary?

[...] PFAdvice tackles the topic of using nitrogen filled tires, a topic I’ve covered as well. (article on nitrogen filled tires) Whereas I was getting the nitrogen free (part of the service at Costco), Jeff quotes the price of inflating a tire at a whopping $10 – that’s clearly not worth it. [...]
