Just use non lab grade nitrogen gas. The stuff that's on 78% pure. Works fine. And is free.

If any of you knew anything about racing you probably wouldn't make such immature comments about this guy's problem. Race cars use nitrogen in their tires. You want to know why? As tires heat up and cool down, tire pressures change dramatically and by using nitrogen in turn provide better handling.

if you actually knew something about tires i would tend to believe you. not just doing a google search and pasting the first thing you could find on it.

You should fill them with hydrogen instead.

Nitrogen doesn't expand as quickly when heated was what I was always told.

Not enough difference to matter on a street car though.

I had my dealership fill my tires last year with nitrogen for sh*ts and grins. Funny thing is, the one tire I had that would slowly lose air has kept its pressure since then. Plus you get cool little anodized green valve caps!
