Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen, so they don't seep past the rubber and lose air nearly as quickly. Also, nitrogen doesn't expand or contract like oxygen, so tires pressures stay more consistent.

x2 and there isnt any moisture unlike compressed air, which theoretically will prolong tire life if you own them that long lol. Oxygen is also known to degrade rubber (very slowly) so again, prolonging life over a LONG period of time.

Yep, and less moisture means less corrosion on the inside of the rim also.

Check out this web site. www.nitrofill.com
This is the tank we have at work. Go to the website and you can find a shop in our area that has it. When you purchase nitro fill you get free top off at any shop that uses it. Also it comes with 1 year of free road side assitance

IRC in most owners manuals it says to follow car manufacturer's recommendations found on the sticker on your vehicle in regards to proper tire pressure. Mainly because the tire manufacturer has no idea in advance what vehicles their tires will be installed on.

But they do have a good idea what the Max pressure should be before it explodes. So as long as youre under that I dont see any problems.
Ive usualy followed the tire recommendations as GM(or any other manuf.) has no idea what tire one would install on the car and tires do very from model to model and season to season.
