    Sure. But it's the outside that wears, hardens, cracks, etc.

    Sure. But when was the last time you heard of a tire failing from the inside out (excluding mfg defects)? And I don't know that our TPM sensors are made of materials that would be harmed by humidity levels found compressed air. They're built to last about 10 years at which time the battery is expected to fail.

    Only the Jet TB spacer (maybe the chip?) comes to mind. I don't think a nitrogen costs much? so it may well be worth the price just to tell people you have it.

    Just as well.....
    Probably our tire treads wear out before any obvious benefit from Nitrogen can be seen.

    For the past 40 years or so...

    I simply light 'em up...

    walk back - check burn pattern

    adjust pressure...

    add air for more burn in the middle

    less air for more edges...

    Now we have the whole pattern right where it needs to be...

    Plus the fun of doing it...

    I think I love you!!!! You have made quantum physics and tire pressure fun!! I don't think Dave (Quick) will know how to respond to this. I can't wait to get my car back to test it out!! :thanks:

    I agree... Dave won't be able to compute this logic and will likely suffer a stroke and/or seizure.

    You'll be able to light them up, but steering with three good tires is another thing.......................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:zorro:

    I bet I'll still only be "less" than a car length behind you! LOL

    Where's your buddy's shop that sells the V's! hehe

    Heh, not at all. uwsacf has grasped the concept of adjusting pressure for even wear across the tread. He's just using a different gauge. :grin:

    Rick, you go to that shop and they'll talk you into getting a mural painted on your fucking car referencing some dead relative. Let alone it'll take 8 weeks to get the tires... IF you get them! Stay away! LMAO!
