I totally agree -- you are free to do whatever you feel is right ...I'm also a strong defender of freedom of choice SCOPESYS! We all can do whatever we feels right for our cars! on my side, I'll stick with good old air and simply stating that fact wise I don't see advantages to put Nitrogen.
Not enough of a difference to make refilling and topping-up more of a hassle than it ever needs to be. That's why I call BS on "it's better to use nitrogen".I totally agree -- you are free to do whatever you feel is right ...
What I am pointing out is that there IS a difference between Dry Nitrogen and moist air.. admittedly not a great difference, but there is one, as so well explained by a previous post by Jgreen16

So when someone just cried BS, with no justification or reasonable explanation to why it is BS, and they are in fact wrong, I take exception, because they are misleading others.

We weren't using nitrogen to fill tires in the old bias-ply days, so why should be do it now with much better steel-belted tires?
Yeah, thanks for trolling the forum with a question that you already knew the answer to, OP.
yeah .. More BS
BS to everything ... BS to Nitrogen, BS to OD, BS to Premium Audio, BS to Failing ClutchesBS -- BS -- BS -- BS -- BS -- BS -- BS -- BS
Happy now, I totally agree with you -- It's all BS
(If you can't beat them, join them )
Yes, I knew the basic answer, but it would seem that some did not, so maybe some that didn't know will find some responses in this tread to be useful information, and not just BS.Yeah, thanks for trolling the forum with a question that you already knew the answer to, OP.
We also weren't using fuel injection, high strength steels, plastics, etc before because it was new tech and expensive. It's not because your grandpa wasn't using them that it isn't good today. That's like saying a carburated engine will be better everywhere than fuel injection, which is completely false.Not enough of a difference to make refilling and topping-up more of a hassle than it ever needs to be.

Should be "dry air will reduce pressure fluctuations".We also weren't using fuel injection, high strength steels, plastics, etc before because it was new tech and expensive.

As a few people said already in this post, nitrogen will reduce pressure fluctuations and will not lose as much over time. Do you need it for daily driving? I don't think it's worth it. Is is good if you're racing? Heck yeah, you can set your tire pressures and they will change in a more predictable way than if you have moisture in them. They will go up and down in pressure, just like tires filled with air, but you will be able to control to what temp they go to better.
This is why people are using nitrogen, OEMs are using it so tires stay properly inflated longer so your aunt that doesn't know how a car works can drive the car for a year without checking anything.
I'm not sure where you came up with "you will never get dry air if you keep oxygen", because that is completely false. Removing moisture has nothing to do with oxygen content. It is true that you will never get rid of all moisture, but you can get it down to less than 2 ppm by volume quite easily with the right type of air dryer.exactly what I wrote my dude, totally agree with you. However, you never get dry air if you keep oxygen, even shops with air dryers don't get rid of all the moisture. Just ask my air tools about it I also mentionned in my earlier post that I don't think it's worth it for just street driving.
