New Maxxis yesterday- not so sure
I need some advice. I bought brand new Maxxis 8008 yesterday at a shop I have never used before. I had to travel 160km as they were the closest shop that has Maxxis brand tires. They are 225/75/15 ...

65 PSI COLD
Fortunately.......only ran them 100 miles underinflated.
Hopefully no cord/belt damage to NEW tires??
As for the N2----great marketing ploy
YES N2 has larger molecules then air therefore doesn't 'seep' out thru tire compounds as easy.
YES N2 is drier then air so no moisture collection inside tires
BUT unless you get it for FREE, have regular/easy access to that FREE N2 and plan on towing trailer at NASCAR speeds (which means you should be using it in tow vehicle tires also)---forget about it.
Air is 78% N2 (21% O2 and 1% water vapor/other gases)
Next time you check/adjust those trailer tires where do you plan on getting the gas....N2 shop or O2 compressor---bet it is O2 compressor :B
