No, I'm pretty sure the match is the only one screwed in that deal.

when i drove from San Diego to central FL last year i had to check and put in air about every other tank. When i drove from central FL to san Diego this year i had them put nitrogen in the tires and i didnt need any inflation the entire trip and still havent for that matter. so does it work i think so, is it worth it eh not really plus air is free nitrogen isnt. plus if you have a flat air is more readily available than nitrogen at the moment (learned from experiance)

When I got my new rims they filled the tires with it for free. Pressures have remained constant.

Jeff Gordon of NASCAR fame was accused a few years ago of using nitrogen in his tires. They impounded the car and found nothing (or perhaps they found nitrogen and did not sanction him for fear of a fan backlash)

...anyway, where do you buy tire grade nitrogen; my tires are screaming for the stuff?

Scuba shop? Welding supply store? Seems like either of those places have lots of bottles of stuff...maybe they'd have some nitrogen.

Call some of the big name tire stores in your area or high end car dealerships. We have all kinds of different cars come to our Acura store wanting just nitrogen.
