What I learned is that plain air will leak right through a tire eventually. It's the molecules other than nitrogen that pass through. Nitrogen molecules are bigger, so they don't pass through the tire rubber. If you fill with "pure" nitrogen, you won't lose air over a long period of time. It's also more stable, does not expand as much with heat, that's why NASCAR teams use it. Some Costco's have nitrogen.
Or, you could just check your tire pressure more often.
A waste of money

Nitrogen in the tires were A gimmick started by the Florida new car dealers Association many years ago this way they can convince all the old gullible retired people that they have to come back to the dealer and pay for nitrogen in their tires every time they Needed a top off of nitrogen ����
Another gimmick to separate dollars from your wallet to theirs. Tried it years ago,not worth the $$. Also the more you check the pressure the more of it you lose.
Thank you Jim , well explained :clapping:
Every thing was fine till the idiot light era arrived!
