Oxidization with Nitrogen?
I traded a 2000 RX300 before having trouble with my tires leaking air, (10 psi in 2 weeks).
I talk to a tire specialist and Lexus and they said over time, those aluminum rims oxidize and leak air around the bead were the tire meets the rim because there's water (dampness) with just using compressed air.
Now I traded for a 2012 RX350 with oxygen in the tires which brings up my question:
Is there less water in nitrogen that will reduce or slow down oxidizing on my new rims over time??
Cheers!

Compressed air has water in it ONLY if the tire shop does not have a good WATER filter!
Nitrogen is a complete waste of money; only good for dealing with HEAT, and we don't have enough to matter!! Saw a dealer in Arizona was charging $99 for nitrogen......so much ignorance in the world........BE careful; it could be flat and we may fall off!!!
Edit.......JM Lexus In Florida, the largest dealer in the US, is offering FREE LIFETIME NITROGEN!!!!!, How do they do it????? About 5 Cents per tire ...........llolol

If what I read on another web-site, I should be OK.
They claim the materials used today in manufacturing aluminum rims have improved a lot
from oxidizing with or without nitrogen.
