Uh, you realize nitrogen filling is a total scam, don't you? Just the air around you is over 80% nitrogen.
Thanks for the advice but it is not needed. If you have used it and found it not worth the $10 then don't use it. I have found that my tires stay closer to the pressure than with air, N2 reduces moisture inside my tires and the $10 per tire is more for them to keep checking for me so I do not have to. I understand what our atmosphere consists of and so do most grade schoolers (at least they used to).

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

I got tired of having to wait so long at Discount so I started going to Tires by Design. I paid $10 per tire for N2 fill and I go by about every 3000 miles to have them check the pressure. I have never bought anything but N2 from them and they have never tried to sell me anything, I have been to the Friendswood and Houston (off Space Center) locations. Maybe you can try them next time. FYI the rear tires always wear more for me, I think with RWD the power to the rear tires does cause more slippage and wear than the front, well, unless you drive in circles a lot.
