Hi folks,

this time of year I have a hard time keeping my tire pressure content.  the temperatures outside vary greatly.

        I recently learned that a friend has a car with Nitrogen filled tires.  Is anyone doing this with your vanagon?  Do you have any benefits to report?  Will this help with content tire pressure and tire wear?

A little reading on google gave me different opinions on the value but it sounded like my needs would have the most benefit from a nitrogen fill.  that is a car  that is used infrequently, has low mileage on the tires, and thus would like the tires to last longer. 

I’m not sure how expensive it is to fill this way and would like to hear if anyone has experience.
