theres been threads about this in the past, it was basically concluded by almost everyone as a complete waste of money. lol don't bother with it its just a marketing thing, some will say it holds air longer and doesn't flex with the temperature changes blah blah.. but its fricken air. They'll be a bunch of people who will chime in and say that it isnt worth it with me just give it a few minutes.

I had to watch a video on this. The nitrogen won't escape out of the tires as easily as air so your tires will hold exact tire pressure longer. It also resists moisture which can build in wheels and corrode them.
Would I pay extra for the nitrogen, no. But if two pumps were next to each other that were both free, and one had nitrogen I'd get it. The effects are to minimal if they are charging a big price on it. I get my tires at Costco and they put nitrogen in it for free.

My tires must hold air better than most peoples. I rarely have to put in air.
Don't do it. The atmosphere we live in is comprised of roughly 70% Nitrogen. If it's free, do it to put your question to rest.

78% nitrogen in the air so dont bother. your better off with a dry supply from a air compressor. on a 
has anyone seen one of these nitrogen filling setups? i was curious how they did it. just like compressed air? i've wondered this because id think to get 100% nitrogen in the tire they would have to purge it and im not sure how they would do this.
though i think it might be kinda cool to fill the tires with NAWSS and see what happens

to the people that are responding with the "air is 7X% nitrogen" argument... you are missing the point of 100% nitrogen filled tires. It has nothing to do with the percent of nitrogen... it has to do with moisture in the gas that is put into your tires. Have you ever pulled the drain plug on a compressor? water comes out.. thats the moist air that is being pumped into your tires. The fact that nitrogen makes up the majority of air is the reason nitrogen is used..
having said that... would i pay for it in a daily driven car? no way.. i'd take it if it was free.. but thats it. I am in no way saying that 100% nitrogen filled tires are VASTLY superior to regular air filled... but you can't deny the advantages of all nitrogen.
