tire pressure

I've always felt that nitrogen-filled tires concept was a bit of a scam. Not that it doesn't reduce the leakage, but whether it's worth the added cost and hassle. For the tiny amount of overhead of topping up your tires periodically, it's just not worth it. Plus, you still need to check the pressure regularly.

+2 to OffGrid and Glue Guy. There are applications for Nitrogen inflated tires. If your plans don't include NASCAR and the Indy 500 with your TT, you'll probably be just fine. I do check my pressure regularly and check my lug nuts. I have D reated tires and I inflate to 65, per the sidewall.
