Nitrogen in tires

I've heard a lot of good things about filling your tires with nitrogen. I will be changing the air on my tires tomorrow and it is free. If you live in the LA area and had bought your car from Rusnak, check this out: Rusnak Auto Group

I already have 79% nitrogen in my tires. Air. It's all a myth.

I still have 76% winter air in my tires, I need to switch out to summer air ASAP.

Summer = hot. Hot air = lighter. Lighter = my car gets quicker. My car gets quicker = I get happier. I get happier = U boat gets happier.

Sounds like another dealer scam to me, just like those paint and window protection treatments they offer when you buy a car.

It actually is not a scam...
I used to fill my Gallardo with N2 only given the heat in Duabi in the summer.
You can check with TPMS since Temp and Pressure are related (or so I was told in thermodynamics in college)

I would not say it is scam by the dealer. They are giving it away for free. I actually went to that dealer yesterday and had my tires filled with Nitrogen for FREE. No questions asked. The problem was I had to wait because the filling station is shared by 4 dealers (Porsche, Mercedes, Audi/Volvo, Bentley/Jaguar) and all these smart people who owns these vehicles started pouring in to have their tires filled with Nitrogen. I would be stupid if I did not do it. Some people are paying to get Nitrogen and it doesn't harm my tires, it just might make it last longer or might wear evenly. Every little thing to make my car last longer, I'll do it.
