Nitrogen for tires
Has anyone tried nitrogen in there tires. ? My Lexus dealer does not offer it: But then again they dont really offer anything that might be aftermarket. I was thinking about going to a good tire store and getting it done. Any ones comments would be appreciated
I wish there were more envolved Lexus dealers for me to go to . I would change in a heart beat. My Dealer cares more about whats in the beverage list then anything that might go on my car. Aftermarket to them is a dirty word. All the mods I have done myself are all hidden in the car.

I once had my tires filled with Nitrogen when the new rims were installed, however, it was short lived. When I needed to road force balance the tires, they had to rotate the tires on the rims, thus losing all the Nitrogen. I decided I wouldn't bother with it anymore. I regularly adjust my tires with my air compressor and making adjustments with Nitrogen was an inconvenience.

I chose nitrogen when I put on new tires and wheels at my tire shop.
they matched the local costco price.
they remember me and provide personal service that I wouldn't get from a costco.
like costco, they provide a lifetime refill policy.
but in a pinch, costco members get free nitrogen fill-ups.
so you've got options...

My dealer does (pushes) lots of aftermarket stuff, like nitrogen in the tires, rain-x on the glass, and a paintless dent guy who evaluates every car before you can finish checking in. He finds dents you've never notice before, but will never stop noticing now.
Before paying for 100% nitrogen I'd ask whether you really have such a problem maintaining air pressure. Consumer Reports did a study showing that a nitrogen filed tire lost 2 psi in a year whereas a regular tire lost 3 psi. They concluded that you still have to check inflation, despite the slight improvement

I got it fill the tire with water, You can make hot tea or coffee. So your carbon foot print is smaller. No problem in case you need to add water to your radiator just drain a tire.
Filler up has new meaning now. I cant believe I just trashed my own thread.
