The Nisan GT-R is the first car I ever owned that came with Nitrogen filled tires from the factory. There are a lot of myths and urban legend about benefits nitrogen filled tires. This is also a very confusing topic for many car owners.
So what is the main reason for my N2 setup - CONSISTENCY! and the second benefit I have found over the years is simply CONVENIENCE!
The typical advertised benefits of Nitrogen or N2 are often stated by greedy dealerships that will charge $6-8 per tire in an effort to turn N2 into a profit as: better mpg, doesn't leak, no low pressure warnings, longer tire life, etc. For everyday use all these are simply complete Bull$hit! Yes, in extreme cases each of these condition would apply true for using Nitrogen (e.g. better mpg because the tire pressure were correctly set with Nitrogen), but for the every day tire use, these are all false compared to just simply using air provided the proper pressure are maintained at all times. So why do I use N2 not only in my GT-R, but all cars and even bother? Read on....
