We'll I just bit the bullet and shelled out $40.00 to fill my tires with Nitrous.

I'll keep you all posted on the gas performance over the next few weeks.

So far Im very impressed. Corners are easy as can be and the handling feels great.

I did take it over 2 speedbumps and the tires didn't even bounce.


Heres the terms and conditions for the roadside service plan and nitous refills:

24-hour Towing Benefit

Unserviceable means that the tire has been punctured or otherwise damaged to the extent that it is unsafe. Tire damage that is cosmetic in nature and that does not render the tire Unserviceable is specifically excluded. In the event that your tire is not repairable, we will reimburse for the cost of a new tire (up to $150). A Road Hazard is a condition on a public roadway which should not exist there, such as potholes, nails, glass, or other road debris. Coverage is limited to a total payout of $150 only during the twelve (12) month coverage period. Motorcycle tires must have a minimum of 4/32" tread remaining to qualify for coverage and coverage on motorcycle tires is limited to a total payout of $50 per registered motorcycle during the twelve (12) month coverage period.

Frequently Asked Question

Why Inflate with NitroFill™?
Compressed air is your tire’s worst enemy. Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Nitrogen is inert, non combustible and non corrosive. Oxygen, on the other hand, is immensely destructive to rubber and other tire materials. As soon as a tire is manufactured and exposed to air, the effects of “oxidation” begin to deteriorate the rubber. Over time it loses its elasticity and strength, just like an old rubber band you’ve probably found around your home. This same process occurs in tires inflated with air as the oxygen attacks the rubber molecules, working from the inside out, until the oxygen, and its destructive properties, permeates the tire structure and ultimately the tread.

Is All Nitrogen Gas Equal?
No, the purity of nitrogen available from nitrogen generators generally ranges from 95% (low purity) to 99.9% (high purity). NitroFill™ generators can produce nitrogen in excess of 99.9% purity and provide the procedures to guarantee a minimum of 95% purity in the serviced tire, which is the minimum allowable purity that must be maintained in the tire to enjoy the benefits that nitrogen provides. Few generator manufacturers currently discuss this mandatory 95% threshold, as few are able to consistently provide the required purity to achieve it. But, as the market matures, your customer WILL learn –so don’t take chances with their safety or your reputation- fill them with NitroFill™ !

My Tires are Low! Now What?
Low tire pressure is generally due to one of the following three conditions:

A leak. Most tire leaks are the result of a hole or puncture, faulty valve, or a porous or corroded wheel.
Permeation. Permeation is the normal process by which the air in a tire bleeds through the tire’s body or carcass. It is typical for an "air" filled tire to lose 1-2 psi of pressure every month through normal permeation whereas it can take several months for a NitroFilled tire to lose a single pound of pressure.
Temperature Change. All gases expand and contract with temperature. If you live in an area that experiences dramatic temperature changes, you will have to adjust your tire pressure accordingly. Typically you will only have to adjust your tire pressure "up", adding pressure as ambient temperatures decrease. Count on losing about 2% of your total tire pressure for every 10 degrees in temperature reduction.

Participating NitroFill™ dealers will always check and correct your tire pressure with NitroFill™ for free during your membership period, and we recommend you have this done every 30 days if possible, or as often as your schedule permits. If you have NitroFill™ in your tires and do not have a leak, you should experience little or no pressure loss from permeation, but may still see pressure loss from seasonal temperature changes. While it is best to visit your NitroFill™ dealer for a free top off, it is fine to correct your tire pressure with regular compressed air for these normal and minor events without diminishing the benefits of NitroFill™.

If you have a "flat" tire or a situation where most or all of the nitrogen in your tire has been lost, you can also fill it with regular air if necessary, but we encourage you to visit your NitroFill™ dealer as soon as possible to have the tire(s) purged and refilled with NitroFill™ so you can continue to enjoy the benefits this product provides.

If you are a member of the NitroFill™ Auto Club most flat tires caused from road hazards, including tires damaged beyond repair, are covered, as is roadside assistance if your flat or damaged tire has left you stranded.

Will NitroFill™ improve the performance of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my vehicle?
Yes. NitroFill™ will help maintain proper inflation in your tires and reduce the number of faults detected by the TPMS.

Do I still need to check tire pressure?
Yes. But, you will find the tire pressure to be more consistent, even during dramatic temperature changes.

Should I put NitroFill™ in my spare tire?
Absolutely! Your spare tire is the most neglected tire on your vehicle, and if you need it you certainly want it to be fully inflated. Because NitroFill™ dramatically slows the normal loss of pressure through permeation, your spare tire will hold its proper pressure over a much longer period of time than if it was filled with regular air.

Is NitroFill™ compatible with my internal tire balancing product [powder, beads, fluid]?
Absolutely, in fact, you couldn't find a better operating environment for an internal tire balancing product than a tire filled with NitroFill™ , due to its dry, inert qualities.

Is nitrogen a safety hazard?
No. Nitrogen is an inert, noncombustible, nonflammable, non-corrosive gas. In fact, those are big reasons why nitrogen is used to fill the tires of vehicles that push performance limits under extreme conditions, including Formula One racers and heavy machinery.

I hate to do this to you.....

The Straight Dope: Is it better to fill your tires with nitrogen instead of air?

And I think we brought this topic up two years ago.

Air is almost 80% nitrogen by itself. It's a gimmick and a waste but hey, if it makes a difference in your head, more power to you.

Car handles REALLY well on corners and at speeds above 90mph.

Overall gas improvement is about 3-4%...actual miles per gallon: 24-25 city

Speedbumps? Cornering? 90+MPH? Gas millage? No, no, no & no. The plecebo effect is alarming.

If there is any benefit to the nitrogen (not nitrous) fill it is the dryness of the gas compared to what sometimes comes out of badly maintained compressors. That benefit is pretty much negligible for a street car application.

Assuming that some of the improvements are real, the most likely cause is having the tires inflated to the proper pressure for a change.
