Default Re: nitrogen in tires

Since air is 78% Nitrogen that means 78% of the gas in a tire is already Nitrogen. Since Oxygen molecules are smaller they leak out of a tire easier than the Nitrogen, thereby increasing the percentage of Nitrogen left in a tire. So just fill your tires up with air and in a couple of days they will be filled with only Nitrogen.
