I was waiting for someone to come up with something like this, but I was guessing saltwater ice cubes…

> We only need the experiment to decide: fill say 50 tires with nitrogen, and another 50 with air, let them sit for 6 months, and measure the pressure difference.

Consumer reports did that, except for a year at 30 psi, here’s what they found:

“Both tires lost pressure over that time, but the difference in loss was minimal. The average loss of air-filled tires was just 3.5 psi from the initial 30 psi setting. Nitrogen-filled tires lost an average of 2.2 psi.”

> Consumer Reports uses tests and research to explain the benefits of using nitrogen in car tires and advises whether it is worth putting nitrogen in your car or truck.
