I had some tire work done at Costco last Saturday and they filled my tires with Nitrogen. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) They swear by it. Says it is way more stable than just regular old air. Anybody using nitrogen in their tires? Is there a noticable difference? Eddy
