Cool Nitrofill

My dealer Whitten Chrysler Jeep in Richmond is now offering, Nitrofill nitrogen for your tires. Had my tires filled today at a cost of $39.00 includes free topoffs if needed.

Okay, now you blew it!!! The only difference to feel would be less pressure or more pressure...filled to the same pressure with plain old air, or nitrogen...the feel is the same. PSI is PSI.

I do believe that nitrogen has its' advantages...but feel isn't one of them.

Actually I was under pressure and the wheels were not balanced. I had them all done at the same time. I actually feel the difference. I apologize for not throwing the rest of the information in the post.

That makes a difference...sorry about busting you, but the air around us (and in everyone's tires) is already 78% nitrogen. I still would like to find somewhere in my area that has a nitrogen generator.

I always feel a difference after getting my tires to proper pressure but then it slowly goes away. If I could get that feeling for weeks or months on end that would be awesome (i just need to get this screw out of my tire first...lol).

Gator,
You better get that screw out before Saturday!! You don't want to be driving over to Orlando and have a flat or blow out, it would seriously ruin your weekend.

Has anybody tried "Helium"?

The Good Year air dock is just 3 miles from me, maybe I could borrow some from the Blimp.

Hmm... would that REDUCE your overall weight? (Probably not by enough to notice).

Probably just "unsprung" weight.

When I got my new tires at Costco a few weeks ago they gave me a brochure stating that they use Nitrogen to fill their tires now.

Appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid I won't have the time since I am hoping to hook-up with several others for the trip down. Thank you, but I will see you there.
