The funniest thing I find about the nitrogen debate is when a dealer says to only use nitrogen to top it up. One should ask the dealer when they initially inflated the tire with nitrogen, did they first draw a vacuum on tire to get all the air out first before filling with nitrogen.

I am carLx; I changed my name to syzygy not too long ago. Kurtz and I are different people, however, despite the fact that our matter-of-fact posting styles are often similar.
My $0.02: reading posts from the both of you is a breath of fresh air on this forum. Keep up the good work.

Did you buy from discounttire.com or discounttiredirect.com? It's the same company but different prices. The non direct site has local retail prices but the direct site has cheaper internet prices. If u got a local store its $20 each for install.

I bought them from discounttiredirect.com and had the local Toyota dealership mount and balance them for $39.99.

So far these tires ride great. The trammlining is gone, the steering has improved, and it ride is a lot smoother and quieter.
