added air to my tires.

Just get Nitrogen gas put into your tires and you wont have to worry about decreasing psi, no matter what the temp is outside. Most dealers in my area now offer this and it is usually free.

Yes it is, BUT N2 won't drop in pressure as fast as regular air, the tire pressure should stay more consistant due to there being no moisture in the N2 (with regular air you should check your pressures atleast once a month, with N2 you can go 3 to 4 before checking the pressure) AND is supposedly going to give you slightly better gas mileage as well (not completely noticable but its been told). I work in a tire and automotive shop so I work with this kind of thing all day 6 days a week. Most tire shops are starting to offer the N2 service now. Where I work its $2 per tire and then free after that. If you notice that your tires are low and you have N2 in the tires its perfectly fine to put regular air in them just when you can go back to where you got it installed and have them purge and refill with fresh N2 as the regular air will have diluted it.


ALSO on the inside panel of your driverside door read the placard, it will tell you the correct pressure that the manufacturer calls for in the tires DONT go off of what the tire says.... You could be over inflating your tires and that could cause uneven tire wear and possible hazards.

(Wow I feel like I am at work lol)
