I had nitrogen put in my new tires. The tires felt great in the summer, so there may be something to its use.
However,
1. You are limited to one source: my tire shop's hours are very limited during the evenings and weekends.
2. Repeated trips: as others mentioned, as temperatures rise in the Spring/Summer, gas must be vented to maintain an exact psi value; conversely gas must be added to maintain an exact psi in the Fall/Winter. Which leads to #3
3) Get a Rep for being a Wacko - show up to a tire shop, spend 1/2 hr to get 1-2 lb of gas in one or two tires. I love these guys - they stretch rubber and balance out imperfections - since it would be very difficult to do this by hand, but...
After making a few trips to the tire shop, I just gave up and adjusted pressure with air from my personal compressor.
I think it is a leash to get drivers back into the service shop - hey you just might get a tire rotation, balance, oil change, or alignment.
Happy motoring!
