I filled my tires up with air. I let all the non nitrogen gases work there way through the rubber and added more. after 5 times I am running. 99.05153632% nitrogen and my truck drives so much better

It helps the guy selling the "service" for sure. Can't tell the difference

My MY24 came with green valve caps, so my dealer must have done that (and not charged me).
Each top-off over nearby 3 years has been with regular air so I’m not sure what’s left.

Rest easy; you will always have at least 78% nitrogen left. ;)

Nitrogen tires are like slotted or drilled rotors or cold air intakes: a scam that has some use if you pile on the asterisks.

Back in the day when I sold used cars and I was a Co-owner of a buy here pay here car lot.
The only question we regularly got was,
“How much is the weekly car payment ?”
We’d buy a box of 100 green valve caps,
Put em on every car.
:’P

If you are in an aircraft, a spacecraft, or an Indy car there is a benefit.

On a street vehicle, the only major improvement is in better miles per gallon, assuming that your wallet is lighter due to the install charge.

If the N2 is free, you get what you pay for...

Did you guys know Costco generally has a nitrogen tire pump and you don't even have to be a member to use it? Just pull up dial in your psi and stick it on your tires.. to increase your nitrogen from 7/8 in regular air up to 7.9426/8 or whatever..
