Hello all...

Thought this might be an interesting and DIFFERENT topic for the lists...


While waiting for SWMBO to finish some shopping at my local COSTCO this 
morning, I wandered into the tire shop. I saw a large green sign that read 
something to the effect...We are now using NITROGEN in all of our tires 
installed 
here.....

I asked the salesman about it. He said it was the latest and greatest. 
Something to the effect of the larger nitrogen molecules not leaking through 
the 
rubber and rim (?). The tires hold the nitrogen longer and only need checking 
only a couple of times a year. Also something about nitrogen not holding water 
as 
'regular' air does. And something about nitrogen not expanding when heated by 
friction etc. as 'regular' air does therefore tire pressure remains 
constant....And so on and so forth...
He said COSTCO was the first to offer this on a mass marketing effort...

FWIW....
Larry M
CD5182L with regular ole' air....sort of....
