And most consumer groups who tested report that using nitrogen in tires is a joke.
Consumer reports said that, And a little known company by the name of Goodyear tire and rubber company thinks it's not worth commenting on it.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association says it it's a good thing– when it's free, but not worth spending money on. Michelin goes a step further. They recommend nitrogen only for tires used "in high risk environments” like aircraft landing gear and racing.
For street cars, usibng nitrogen in your tires is a waste of time and if it's of any benefit at all, it's so small it can't be measured.
Unless you sell machines that pump tires full of nitrogen, or charge customers for "nitrogen filled" tires, then you can see the reasults clearly $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
