What's up w/nitrogen filled moto tires?

Honestly, I didn't see all the big deal difference many of other people rave about with the Metzler-not saying it was bad, just didn't seem to live up to the hype in my mind. I ran it at 50 psi per their website and it seemed a little slicker to me than the Dunlops, but I did get a few more miles out of it and it was a better price. I ran the Metzler down to the cord, which I had not done on the Dunlops and may explain some of the mileage difference. I put a Dunlop back on it this time and may try something different next time around. Had some Avon Venoms on a Dyna years back. Liked the way they handled, but didn't keep the bike long after the tires, so I can't say anything about mileage.
