    Nitrogen and air expand at the same rate (at least much closer than you can measure with your tire gauge).

    They are called the "gas laws" instead of the "gas suggestions" for reason.

    qbee42 called it right, "placebo effect"

    @ the fleet I work for we tried nitrogen in our tires and found the tires /rims do LAST longer and hold PSI better BUT NOT worth the cost if you can NOT return to the Nitrogen centre for refill/topup when needed so in town YES out on the hiway NO
    Fountain Tyre charges 15 Dollers PER tyre BUT will throw it in for FREE if asked during new tyre fitting or change over AND they WILL top up for free
