Hey all. I was just wondering if there's any place to buy nitrogen for tires just with a tire chuck, or if I have to get one of those high pressure cylinders and regulate it down. That is all. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think if it's under so little pressure that you can haul it around in an aerosol can then there isn't enough in there to inflate a tire. I've asked for air at 2 different tire stores, one local and one Costco, they both gave me nitrogen, no charge.
I wouldn't bother, air is already 78% nitrogen but the nitrogen is dry so tire pressures don't fluctuate as much with temperature changes. |

I have 35000 miles on Michelins from Costo with nitrogen in it. I check them occasionally, and they stand on their PSIs like nothing I've seen before. |
