Has anyone heard about putting nitrogen in their tires? My next door neighbor Owns 3 tire stores and he swears by Nitrogen.
It is an Inert Gas (noncombustable) that NASCAR and other Racers have used for years. Technology has just caught up to a reasonable
way for local Tire Stores to use it.
Benefits:
1. Tire holds pressure for up to 10 Mos or more ( unless you have a flat) and is not affected by heat, cold or altitude changes.
2. Reduces heat build up at highway speeds.
3. Is noncorrosive to Aluminum Rims



My Dealer Charges $19.99 + Tax for up to 18" rims and $22.95 + Tax for up t0 20" Rims. That is "EACH" Tire

I will have him put it in my tires when I finally receive my Enclave. we are planning on a long trip this summer and will see how it works out

I just talked to my neighbor about the nitrogen. I sit Corrected!!
$9.95 per tire and $12.95 per Tire.
If I have a flat anywhere, when I get back home his dealership will replace the nitrogen for FREE>

Also he said at the last Tire Seminar At Tampa the Major tire manufacturers expect ALL manufacturers to have nitrogen in new cars between 2008-2009.
Yes there is some temp effect but not like on race cars. They are a different animal.
Thanks for your info!!

I finally went on a 186 Mile trip. I only had 60 miles on the odometer when I started so I could not use the cruise. Went to Tampa FL and Back to Sebring FL
23.6 MPG Average. This included heavy traffic and a lot of stopping. I had 25MPG until I hit Heavy Traffic.

YES!! I HAD NITROGEN PUT IN MY TIRES A FEW DAYS AFTER I Picked up the car. I have a one year guarantee
and they will "TOP OFF" the nitrogen or replace it if I have a flat. Also covers my tires and road service if I need it.
