Can we say overkill, it's as big as my damn motor.

I originally bought it for my truck though, it should take significantly longer to get the damn thing out and set up then to fill these tiny car tires

I have an air compressor in the basement and ran tubing to my garage. I even installed a retractable compressor hose that's mounted in the corner. As stated above, I use nitrogen in the Z tires, but this comes in handy for my old truck and various lawn equipment. I also use the blower nozzle when I detail my Z.... it helps with removal of lint/dust/residue after waxing

My facts are right.......BTW and I have a Doctorate in Chemistry....I dont have to Google..... just how much do you tires leak? You are being scammed

scammed? tell me how so. whenever ive gotten new tires they fill it with nitrogen for free. i check my tire pressure monthly (force of habit) and have never had to fill my tires. i get my tires below tirerack prices installed with free rotations and balances for the life of the tires and never once had to worry about low pressure. if that qualifies for being scammed then so be it.

on the other hand, ive yet to get new tires on our acura mdx, yet i have to top off the tires every so often to keep it at 35psi cold. nitrogen IN MY OPINION does not have any leakage problems compared to regular compressed air.

I check my tires every time I get gas......and never have to add air with the exception of large temp. swigs in the summer and winter.....but then again, I use Nitrogen in my tires.....78% nitrogen.....AIR !

You are getting scammed by buying into a false premise......
