Question Who's running Nitrogen in your tires of a 2009 or 2010?

I'd like to see if anyone here is running Nitrogen in your 2009 or 2010 F150 tires? If so what benefits are you seeing? Is it worth the invesment?

No, I am not running Nitrogen in my tires.

So, no benefits. i am not missing anything.

No, it is not worth the "investment" even if a shop does it for free.

I have it in two vehicles. The real benefit that I'm aware of is its resistance to temperature change. It keeps the same pressure over a much wider temperature range. I buy tires at Costco, and thats what they use. Its just part of their tire package. I don't have it in my new truck, and won't till its time to replace the tires.

Yes, I have it in my tires. It came in the truck when I bought it. Haven't had a single issue running it, no loss of pressure in three months with Texas weather changes.

People will crap on this subject all day long, call it pointless, etc. I'll just say is that I keeps my tires from not being flat.

Putting air in them keeps them from being flat.

I use a 78% nitrogen / 21% oxygen blend in my tires. That's how it came stock.

True. Though I'm not going to deflate all my tires just to put air in them. That's retarded.
