Nitrogen in Tires

Nitrogen in Tires
Does anyone else have nitrogen in their tires? Mine came from the dealer that way. Well my low tire pressure indicator came on this morning and I'm looking for somewhere close to work (I35 and Regal Row) to get them topped off. I'm not having much luck finding a place to get them filled. I guess I'll go back to the dealer (Texas Nissan of Grapevine) on my way home this evening.

I went back to Texas Nissan of Grapevine. They found a nail in my tire. They said it was in the sidewall and that I needed to buy a new tire for $250. I told them just put nitrogen in it, which they did for free. I checked the tire out when I got home and the nail was in the middle of the tread. I'll be going down to Discount Tire for a patch. I really don't like the customer service at that dealership.

Of course they'd tell you that. It's a dealership (it's a business, which focuses more on profit/revenue vs. customer satisfaction as seen by most dealerships).
BTW, don't waste your time on nitrogen.

Pros:
Cons:
- The molecular nitrogen (N2) is a larger than oxygen (O2) in size. Thus, it slows down the air leak which is inevitable in tires.
- Nitrogen has higher resistance to temperature changes. Essentially, for those who track their cars, it means that their tires' size and temperature is affected less, which also equates to better times around the track.
Cons:
- Waste of time as most won't track their cars hardcore and even then it's useless.
- Waste of money (unless you get it free from a dealer or something) as it's more expensive than regular compressed air.
- Uncommon. Why go seek something that isn't all that useful? Refer to point 1.

I paid to have mine done at Robbins in Humble.
Of course it's a "lifetime" deal, no additional charges
for refills, or whatever. Any dealership that is going to
sell the GTR has to have nitrogen service. All GTR's have
nitrogen in the tires. That's the story I got.
