Well yeah, was in CostCo today and they had an advertisment saying "We take tire safety to the next level with....NITROGEN Tire Inflation!" I read the flyer everything seems lagit, question that comes to mind tho is it worth it? Is it actually better than filling you tire with air? How much should it be?
Thanks

You only air out the tires to aid in launch but the tires also drag when they are too low and you are at speed. So if your tires gradually go back to 35PSI as you get down the track this is optimum. --------------------  |
