It's those secondary effects that are the only real benefits that is why
for ordinary application in passenger car/light trucks it's _way_
overkill in that there just won't be any discernible symptoms that it
cures that ordinary care and maintenance don't resolve, anyway.

That's the whole point of nitrogen. It cures, at least partially, the
symptoms that the lack of ordinary care and maintenance would otherwise
cause.

How many people do you EVER see checking their tire pressure these days?
They don't. If the TPMS light comes on they may take some action. Losing
even 1 PSI per month will trigger the TPMS after a few months. With
nitrogen that could take more than a year.


You have proof of that in some studies?



Costco includes nitrogen because of their own self interest. It reduces
warranty costs, both for road hazard and treadwear. It stops customers
from constantly coming back with TPMS warning lights on, saving labor costs.

You have proof of that too? I'm taking bets that you don't.

At some point you're going to have to use some common sense and stop
with the schtick of demanding studies that you know that no one has ever
done.

At some point you're going to have to use some common sense and realize
that claiming that putting nitrogen in tires reduces warranty claims,
extends tread life, reducing customers coming back, is just BS if it's
based on nothing. Common sense to me says it's BS. If you claim otherwise,
it's up to you to prove it. And I say the claims you're making are
extraordinary. If it's true, it should be easy.
