Default Any difference in Ride after Nitrogen fill

Any GX owners who have got the Tires filled up with nitrogen and let me know how is the ride and tire wear & since the First fill, how many times have you topped it when in low PSI. And bad experiences. I had googled, and lot of positives, but would like to hear from the GX owners.

Have been using nitrogen in Las Vegas for over a year....no issues...no major lost of pressure..unit serviced on regular maintenance schedule...as for ride..nothing unusal...tires are brand new...Mich's ..less than 5000 miles on them...rotated and balanced...filled with nitrogen...my bottom line input...seems to be ok...or just hype air vs nitrogen?

You're not going to notice a difference between nitrogen and normal air in everyday driving.

i second that!

when i had my denali the tires were always filled with nitrogen. from time to time when it was really cold out i'd get the tire pressure warning and top it off with plain old air. i never really noticed any difference.
