Default Nitrogen tyre fill

This may be a noobie question and sorry if its a repost. Just drove past a tyre shop in ossy park with a sign outside saying they will fill tyres with Nitrogen. Whats the benefit????

Pressure fluctuates less with changes in heat and is dry as opposed to air from atmosphere which does contain moisture and can condense inside your tire.

Definitely worth it for track work, but wouldn't bother for road.

But for track work you'd want to be adjusting your tyre pressures based on the temp of the day yeah?

Of course...but you tend to start high and decrease...if you want to increase then air is OK.

Waste of money. Fill at BP with normal air. It's Free!
