Bought a set of Michelin's for the Disco TD5 from Costco last year, they inflate all new tyres with Nitrogen, cant say I noticed any difference though. I will see if it makes a difference when I have to buy new tyres for the RRS, not too soon I hope done 16K but still have 5-6 mm left.

From what I've read in a normal car it will make no difference, just a bit of a gimick Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate |

Agree.....makes a slight difference in Formula 1 cars and when you're 0.1 of a second behind a slight difference is important but in a normal road car a bit of a gimmick |

We have a company smart car too, nothing fancy like a brabus one, but they are quite fun to drive and the boot is the perfect size for 2 cases of bottled stella, and the cars the perfect size to fit into friends driveways with limited carparking |

For some reason tyres are supposed to hold their pressure better when filled with nitrogen as opposed to just air, that was the main benefit offered to me when I opted for the nitrogen. |

Nick as I was told Nitrogen is especially beneficial during the summer months because of the hot temperatures/tires can get overheated on the hot asphalt and less important in the winter. 2008 RRS TDV8 HSE, Java black, Alpaca,..... |

"It's not about the nitrogen. It's about reducing oxygen, water vapor and other gases.
