Correct tire pressure measurements should be found on the sticker on the drivers door. In what way do you find filling tires with nitrogen better then filling with normal air? '06 4.2 S/C Buckingham Blue/ Parchment |

I find that the pressures are maintained for far longer (up to 6 months) without having to keep topping up, I believe the tyres last longer as the temperature / pressures are less variable. These are at 22000 as still plenty life left |

Speaking as a chemist, I would expect air to maintain a more constant pressure versus nitrogen.

now this is interesting! my 20' Continentals are wearing out on the sides, even though I regularly balance them, swap them around and use the car rarely within the first year of ownership! I think its time to try nitrogen! '06 4.2 S/C Buckingham Blue/ Parchment |

Does nitrogen make the car lighter? |
