Oh, yeah, larger molecules so seeping out through the tire is much slower meaning pressures stay up properly much longer. Oh, yeah, more temperature stable so the fluctuation in tire pressure from cold to hot is less keeping the tire closer to optimum pressure at all times. But yeah, big deal, so what. YMMV.
Huh? So, how many times have you had to replace a set of tires because they were "deteriorated from within"? How many times have you had to re-inflate your tires because the "smaller molecules seeped out of the tire"? I check my normal-air-filled tires at least once a week, and have to put air in them maybe every 6 months, if that often. Yeah, big deal, so what.

Uh, you realize nitrogen filling is a total scam, don't you? Just the air around you is over 80% nitrogen.

Re: Discount Tire using the same tactics as Oil Change places

Bought a zillion tires from Discount over the years, no problems. Great place, great people.

As far as replacing 2 tires per the OP, they go by tread depth, not mileage. There's not supposed to be more than X amount of difference in tread depth and/or tire diameter between the two tires, or they both have to be replaced. Just saying.............
