inflating tires on rv with nitrogen, good idea?
I'm interested in hearing comments on using nitrogen in tires on my rv, supposed to run cooler and maintain air pressure better. Any comments would be appreciated. Tom

Regular air is 78% nitrogen. On that note, 100% nitrogen won't leak out of your tires as fast as air as the nitrogen molecules are larger.
So, theoretically as the air leaks out and is replaced with a regular compressor you are getting more and more nitrogen each time. Eventually you will have almost 100% nitrogen if your tires leak fast enough...;)
Maybe I am just lucky, but I have only topped off my tires in the spring and they stay at constant pressure for the rest of the year... For $70 I can use the compressor once a year for the trailer.
