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.
True statement.
Nitrogen will also maintain a constant pressure regardless of temperature or elevation.
A common misconception. Nitrogen obeys the gas laws as do all gasses, one of which states "if the amount of gas remains constant (as in a tire), the pressure and/or volume are directly proportional to the temperature."
I have no experience with nitrogen in my tires, I just carry an air compressor with me.
