There's still a difference. At least with racing stripes you have
something
that's visible and if you like it, then it's worth it. In the case of
nitrogen, what you have is 99% marketing gimmick to add $$ to the bottom
line. AFAIK, what they have done is extend nitrogen from critical
applications where the difference it makes can matter, to the family car,
where the difference is negligible.


Yes, the racing stripe is something you can see and impress people with,
just like the added wing type spoiler on the trunk of some cars. Or like a
diamond ring costing several thousand dollars. Not good for much,but people
think they want it. The nitrogen is not visiable to look at nor will it do
any good that I am aware of.

I thought I read somewhere about nitrogen in airplane tires had some kind of
advantage, but that could have just been some internet dribble.
