Nitrogen in Tires?

I agree with 2Airishuman, I used to race and used nitrogen for the same reason, but use good old air in the rest of my tires. Our MH has 275/80x 22.5 tires and mine hold 105 p.s.i and I don't have a problem with them losing air.

For TT & TV tires, the benefits of nitrogen are in the noise level. Some tire stores provide it as std practice (Costco) and that's nice.

We use nitrogen only in both the GV (51K ceiling) and the C-130 and every other aircraft I've ever serviced. Biggest reasons is because its dry, non flammable, and minimum expansion with high heat, but the tires do loose pressure. I check or service them before every flight. My Globetrotter has nitrogen in the tires only because they were flat when I bought it and I had a small 3000 psi nitrogen bottle handy but no compressed air bottle.

Been running Nitrogen for 1.5 years now in my TV 05 Burb 3/4. Here in Florida they claimed better gas mileage. Dealer told me to bring by the AS when I pick it up in NJ. It would be a hassle finding a place to refill on the road. I am satisfied with its performance in the TV. To Be honest I do regular maintenance and I have not checked for loss of pressure. I will now when I start towing a Classic 31 across country!

The COSTCO store where I buy tires puts nitrogen in their tires when they mount them or service them every 5000 miles.
