I tried to post this when the board was totaled and kept getting kicked off. I work on tires for a living and have probably read all the pros and cona about nitrogen. The way I read it seems to only help in very high heat situations or if a tire sits for extended times the molecules are larger so they dont seep out the sidewall as fast. So unless you dont ride your bike or if you race it I think the best solution is to buy a good air gauge and USE IT

You're kidding, right?

For racing and whatnot, there might well be an advantage, but it's useless for street machines.

But, if you wanna spend the money just to tell folks you have nitrogen, go right ahead. Just don't buy any real estate from people you tell this to...
