Nitrogen option but only on two tires ? ? ?

O.K. so I'm about to pick up two new tires already filled with nitrogen for my 5th. wheeler. Question is; should I ask that that gas (nitrogen) be removed and replaced with ordinary air - to be the same as the other two (almost new) tires already installed??

An other option is to have nitrogen installed in all four. Don't mean to start a war - but it is a 'legit' question. :h

    NO, I'd take 'em the way they are. If the tire store wants to put in Nitrogen for Free. accept it that way. The difference is really not worth the trouble.

    Wife's car has nitrogen in the tires (new tires from Costco). I wish it didn't. She won't let me even top them off with our compressor at home. Have to drive over to Costco and wait until someone can get to us and top them with nitrogen....ridiculous and a huge pain....but I'm married so off to Costco we go.

    Doesn't matter one bit, regular air is mostly nitrogen anyhow. Nitrogen filling is mostly a marketing gimmick and only valuable to race car teams.



    This is the correct answer
