Nitrogen Filled Tires

Very simple: You press a button on your dash to see what your tire pressure is. If it's low you find a local Quikcheck with a free pump to level it off. I find that my tires change pressure by about + or - 1 pound. So I don't worry... And I'm not sure but I think that the TPMS will notify the driver if the pressure goes too low. I put 78% Nitrogen into my tires...

I seriously respect the point of view. Let me illustrate how it can be much ado.
We had our first mid-Atlantic cold snap of 57 degrees this morning after temps ranging from mid-80s to low 90s. The Tacoma atmospheric-filled tire sensors shouted from the dashboard. Sure enough they were 3-4 lbs low. Same for the 80s Porsche. I checked the Rx350 and it’s nitro-filled tires were right on. But I had to move the RX out of the way to get the Tacoma nearer the air tank and the Porsche, before I could drive the daily Tacoma.
For those of you in the mid-Atlantic with “meh” nitro-filled tires used as your daily, I hope you enjoyed hopping right in, heading right off to work or the golf course.
oh… geez, it’s mid-90s in the middle of the week. I’ve got to remember to deflate that Tacoma.

You're lucky. In my area, every station with air gouges you two bucks a pop to use it.

I got the light when I fired it up a couple nights ago in the middle of nowhere on a holiday weekend. Scared me until I remembered how to access the dashboard display and saw it was because one tire had dropped to 29 PSI. Talk about a hair trigger. That kind of warning does more harm than good.

Extra for Nitrogen?? 
I get my fill free of charge at Costco and when I buy my Tires.
They also have a self Tire inflation station out in the parking lot outside their Tire Center.

You put in the recommend psi and it let's you known when it's filled.
