Nitrogen Filled Tires

Very simple: You press a button on your dash to see what your tire pressure is. If it's low you find a local Quikcheck with a free pump to level it off. I find that my tires change pressure by about + or - 1 pound. So I don't worry... And I'm not sure but I think that the TPMS will notify the driver if the pressure goes too low. I put 78% Nitrogen into my tires...

I seriously respect the point of view. Let me illustrate how it can be much ado.
We had our first mid-Atlantic cold snap of 57 degrees this morning after temps ranging from mid-80s to low 90s. The Tacoma atmospheric-filled tire sensors shouted from the dashboard. Sure enough they were 3-4 lbs low. Same for the 80s Porsche. I checked the Rx350 and it’s nitro-filled tires were right on. But I had to move the RX out of the way to get the Tacoma nearer the air tank and the Porsche, before I could drive the daily Tacoma.
For those of you in the mid-Atlantic with “meh” nitro-filled tires used as your daily, I hope you enjoyed hopping right in, heading right off to work or the golf course.
oh… geez, it’s mid-90s in the middle of the week. I’ve got to remember to deflate that Tacoma.

After driving two blocks the pressure is back...No need for nitrogen filled tires when the air you're breathing is 78% N. Dealers scam unaware people into paying for it...

My daughter just bought a new X5 - she showed me the draft deal with $399 for nitro. She just saved 399 of course as she had no idea.

You're lucky. In my area, every station with air gouges you two bucks a pop to use it.

I got the light when I fired it up a couple nights ago in the middle of nowhere on a holiday weekend. Scared me until I remembered how to access the dashboard display and saw it was because one tire had dropped to 29 PSI. Talk about a hair trigger. That kind of warning does more harm than good.

Extra for Nitrogen?? 
I get my fill free of charge at Costco and when I buy my Tires.
They also have a self Tire inflation station out in the parking lot outside their Tire Center.

You put in the recommend psi and it let's you known when it's filled.
