LOL - maybe Nitrous (N2O) would be good for performance I think you meant N2

MC - good point. In racing having more precise control over your tire presure is very important. I know a lot of the Sprint car guys use bleed off valves to keep the presure consistant as the tire heats up...

I put helium in my tires, reduces unsprung weight.



Yes air is about 78% nitrogen, and unless the nitrogen filling place is flushing all the air out of your tires and replacing it, I doubt you would get more than 90% pure nitrogen in your tires. If that 12% is worth it to you then by all means do it, if not... then I don't think its really a big deal.

I'll probably get nitrogen in mine because the place I buy my tires from does free nitrogen inflation.
