Inflating Tires

Lol, as long as you don't mind running around with green valve stem caps.

I never really understood this trend. According to advocates, nitrogen doesnt leak out because N2 molecules are larger than O2 molecules.
Air is some 80% nitrogen.
Once the O2 molecules leak out, there would be near 100% N2 in the tire.
Replace the 20% leaked with air, again at 80% N2, meaning the air in the tire is essentially 96% N2.
A couple of more rounds, and, for all intents and purposes, your running nitrogen in your tires, without paying anywhere up to $40 per tire.

Nitrogen in tires came from airplanes. They use it because it doesn't support fire. Plus moisture in tires at high altitude freezes. On landing. Tires can get to over 250F. Turning that ice into steam in seconds. Suddenly increasing tire pressure.

Putting N2 in airplane tire is a process. They don't use the same process for putting N2 in car tires. Costs too much and time consuming. Putting N2 into your tires is just another way to separate your from your money. If you were racing for big bucks. Then it would be worth it.
