Don’t know where they get their costs for nitrogen from but I have never paid for nitrogen filled tires. The Consumer Reports test agreed that high pressure tires do benefit from nitrogen filled tires, but do not go into any detail because they never tested high pressure tires. Most 5ers use high pressure tires, 80 psi and up. I would say its a big difference between 30 psi and 80 psi, with totally different uses, stresses, and the like. Also, you will never get 100% nitrogen in the tires. Probably about 98%. The other benefit for nitrogen is it helps prevent blow outs. Lots of big rig trucks use nitrogen. For cars, not much benefit for lots of reasons. For high pressure tires, definitely some safety benefits. Is it worth it? Yes. Pay big bucks for it? No. I go off my personal experience of using nitrogen filled tires for years. I have experienced the benefits. Thats what I go on. Again, we are NOT talking about car tires only filled to 30 psi. Am I a big promoter of nitrogen filled tires? Not really unless, you have easy, low or no cost access. Then in my experience, it is definitely worth using. Its a personal choice. I have over 20 years experience using nitrogen filled tires. Whats yours?
No need to get riled up about it. I'm just sharing my opinion. As for my experience..... I have 50 years of not using it without any issues.

Mikellf ... although you stated and restated you pay nothing and are not beating the cymbals and drums about nitrogen filled tires ... you sure appear to promote it as being the next best thing to sliced bread. You're preaching to the crickets here as many of us have responded ... we just have not experienced the tire issues that nitrogen is stated to solve.
You or anyone can reference data and articles till the cows come home, but the fact remains ... plain ole air is 78.1% nitrogen which works well for the masses.
Few service stations or nitrogen filling center around here do any more than let what air will come out, replace the valve stem core, and pressure up the tire with nitrogen. Pulling a vacuum on a tire prior to nitrogen fill is pretty much non existent around here.
So you get an evacuated and nitrogen filled tire for free, but it's very likely out and about on the road ... you'll have to settle for plain ole air.
I'll agree that aircraft benefit from nitrogen filled tires, but none of my fivers have come with retractable landing gear or fold out wings. Loads of us have been in the mountains and frankly I'd guess but a handful have given pressure changes a thought.
Try cussing and discussing tire pressure monitor brands ... many of us will feel like we are really dissecting something with that subject.

PS ... a nitrogen fill here is @$30 per tire ... while responding to this thread, I've contacted none that do it for free.

Oh I see why I like 78% nitrogen, it’s free and readily available.
