Nitrogen doesnt lose 1lb of air a month like regular air does. You dont really have to check your tire pressure cuz it maintains and stays consistant

I have found the tire itself makes a 1-3mpg difference also. the FC 2's do not get as good of mileage as a street type tread. The more aggressive the worse the mileage.

nitrogens not really worth it, google what our air is made up of and youll see that its primarily nitrogen.
Just get the good air and youll be fine.

The truck is rolling on Goodyear Eagle LS2's...very much a street tire. I HATE them too. I can't wait to downsize these rims and put on an all-terrain tread.

nitrogen is used with the missile systems on submarines.....its an inert gas so no fire hazzard....and it displaces moisture.....dont really see why you would wanna put it in a tire unless you were in arizonabecause the heat wouldnt affect the tires as much.....here in michigan ur better off using buckwheat into the tires

Your place do Mickey Thompson tires? I love the ATZ's for an A/T tire, maybe they'll give you a great deal...
