Nitrogen?
Yes, had it put in when replaced both fron & rear tires. I couldn't tell a difference. Does not leak AS FAST as good old faishoned "air," but it does still require occassional top-off. Still check pressure every time I ride and have had to top it off with air. Would not pay for it, seems like another way to grab $$ out of the pocket....
heres my custom blend.
Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%
Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%
Neon -- Ne -- 0.001818%
Methane -- CH4 -- 0.0002%
Helium -- He -- 0.000524%
Krypton -- Kr -- 0.000114%
Hydrogen -- H2 -- 0.00005%
Xenon -- Xe -- 0.0000087%
Ozone -- O3 -- 0.000007%
Nitrogen Dioxide -- NO2 -- 0.000002%
Iodine -- I2 -- 0.000001%
Carbon Monoxide -- CO -- trace
Ammonia -- NH3 -- trace

Yes. Dealer had an offer of free evacuation of air from the tires and replacement with Nitrogen at a major service. Cost would have been $22.
Had 10,700 mi on tires with air in them. Altitude range -260' to +8400', temperature range 40F to 110F.
Have 2,500 mi on tires with Nitrogen on them. Altitude range +600' to +9200', temperature range 60F to 110F.
Speeds from city driving to sustained 80mph.
08 RKC with tubed tires on laced wheels.
No apparent or evident difference.
