Who uses nitrogen?

Out of curiosity, how many of you use nitrogen in your tires?

Once Summer was over I started having issues with my tire pressure monitor giving me a warning every few weeks. My dealer service rep suggested putting nitrogen in the tires. He thought the problem was due to our wild temperature fluctuations.

All I know is that I haven't had a pressure warning since moving to nitrogen a few months ago.

Anyone else feel like commenting? I searched the forum and only found a little discussion on the topic.

Nitrogen is great. We use it in all our racing apps as well as all my street vehicles. I'm lucky since I have a 50lb bottle of the stuff in my shop at all times. You will find more consistent tire psi's and little or no fluctuation due to tire temp. Tends to leak less and it's dry. Inside of the rims resist oxidation better etc. Is it worth it... hard to say, air does the trick and has done so for generations, but if you have access to it go for it.
