nitrogen is a waste of money unless you track the car heavily

and cars have different rolling diameters and circumferences based on tire size.

205-55-15's are 205mm wide, the sidewall is 55% of the width (112.75mm) and the 15 is the wheel size. 195-55-15's are 195mm wide and the sidewall height is 55% of the width (107.25mm, in this case). 185-60-15's are 185mm wide, the width of the tire is 60% of the width (111mm) and the wheel is again a constant.

you want to land within 3% of your OEM rolling size to keep the speedo as accurate as possible...

1010tires.com had a great tire size calculator....
