Nitrogen in Tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

botchilah · 07-30-2009, 11:34 PM

I've been using Nitrogen in my two cars and my previous car for about 3 years and no issues. It's true that it doesn't leak out as much as regular oxygen. I check my tire pressure weekly and with nitrogen, the tires would last for about 3 months before I saw even a 1-2psi difference. With oxygen, I'd have to top up every week.

That's a big difference. I don't own an air compressor so it's a pain in the butt to line up for it at the gas station.
