Am I wrong in my assumptions that it would do this?

Luxury cars now offer a great seating option for politicians.

Air is about 78% nitrogen, the issue is removing the oxygen so you
need to pull a vacume first. They charge alot extra to inflate tires
wirh nitrogen, but how do they remove the oxygen, I dont think they do
at all.

I guess it depends where you buy tires. The local evil mom& *pop place
doesn't charge a lot more or even more for that matter. They have a unit
similar to this in the garage:

By design a tire cant be fully deflated of air, air is 78% nitrogen,
so what is the true percentage of nitrogen in tires filed with
nitrogen, it will still contain alot of oxygen. But I guess if it
works its worth it.- Hide quoted text -

And I'd say it's just another scam to get more money out of unwitting

Supposedly it means tires are less susceptable to pressure change with
ambient temp change, nitrogen will leak out slower, etc. * If you have
enough sense to check your tire pressure regularly, none of that
matters. * And if you don't, then I'd say nitrogen is a poor
substitute.

Works for me. One of our vehicles has always had issues with slow tire
leaks. The wheels are clean with no rust and aren't bent. I had four new
tires tires installed at the local evil mom & pop tire place last year
and they used nitrogen this time (at no additional charge) and now the
slow leaks are gone.

Dont guess it could be because of the new tires, valve stems and
cleaning the rims?
