Default Re: Nitrogen

I'll preface this by saying that I do not have Nitrogen in my Crossfire, BUT I do in my Malibu. Before using Nitrogen I had an annoying very slow loss of pressure in one of the tires. Had to put air in about every 4 to 6 weeks. In reading about the chemical structure of Nitrogen (NO) and comparing it to Oxygen (O2), and having a chemist background, the NO molecule is larger than the O2 (structurally), and I surmised that the larger molecule may not leak as fast. I put the NO in the tires 2 yrs ago, and have had no leaks since. So ... in this regard I believe there is an advantage. Just my $.02
