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)

You need the Oxygen & moisture out, that what plays havoc with the pressures. The correct way is to have a vacuum machine extract the old air out, fill with Nitro gen, vacuum/extract the 1st fill of Nitrogen out as that WILL be contaminated and then fill with Nitrogen again.

Then never put regular air back in the tires.

Places like CostCo or tire shops will just fill the tires up with Nitrogen without purging the Oxygen & moisture.
