Default RE: nitrogen in tires

My local Costcos have been using nitrogen in their tire shops for well over2 yearsand the "extra" service is FREE. They even putgreen valve stem covers on to remind you to fill up with nitrogen.When I need to add more nitrogen to the tires, I just swing by the shop when I go shopping and they will put it in for FREE.

Nitrogen has it's place andcan be beneficial. But not in road tires.

I guarantee that if I took 2 identical bikes and put air in one and nitrogen in the other and you test rode both bikes, you wouldn't notice a difference. I think it is just another money grab.

You won't notice any difference between nitrogen and air when you ride. You will notice that you don't have to add air to your tires as often.Some of the guys at the shop I work at swear by it, some don't bother.I may use it next time I need air, butdoubt I'd shell out 16 bucks for it.

Default RE: nitrogen in tires

My Indy used nitrogen in the last tires I purchased from him. No extra cost but we all know he had the price built in. Whenever the pressure gets low I have to take it to him for a fill up. I had to add air over the winter and took the bike into him and he pruged all of the airr out and added the nitrogen. If nitrogen is good for a race car why not a bike? Granted a race car goes faster but its 4 tires v 2 tires. I would think from a safety standpoint $16 isn't much.
